Iterate and $number variable | Substance 3D Designer

Iterate and $number variable

The Iterate node will render the nodes connected to the right output the amount of time specified by the Iterations value.

1 iteration: the gaussian pattern is rendered once

10 iterations: the gaussian pattern is rendered 10 times at the same place

When using an Iterate node, you can use the $number variable to get the current iteration value. $number is a float value and starts at 0.

This function, set in the Pattern Offset parameter, will be executed 10 times, one for each pattern.

The first pattern has a $number value equal to 0 and is then rendered at the (0, 0) coordinate. The second pattern has a $number value equal to 1 and is then rendered at the (0.1, 0) coordinate (1 x 0.1 = 0.1) and so on for the next patterns.
