Brickyard : Functions > Mathematical

A collection of mathematical operations that take 2 arguments. For mathematical operations that take 1 argument, see the Unary Operation brick.

Color operations are performed per color channel.

• Binary Op Result : Variable - Description…

• Value : Variable - Description…
• Value 2 : Variable - Description…

• Type : Sets the type of the Binary Op Result output parameter, as well as the Value and Value 2 input parameters to one of float, color, point, vector or normal.
• Operation : Sets which binary operation to perform.
  • Add : Returns Value + Value 2
  • Subtract : Returns Value - Value 2
  • Multiply : Returns Value * Value 2
  • Divide : Returns Value / Value 2¹⁾
  • Min : Returns the lesser of Value and Value 2
  • Max : Returns the greater of Value and Value 2
  • Dot Product : Result = Value . Value 2
  • Cross Product : Result = Value ^ Value 2
  • Mod : Returns the remainder of Value / Value 2
  • Gain :
  • Step : Returns 0 if Value 2 < Value, otherwise 1
  • Smooth Step : Returns 0 if Value < 1, 1 if Value 2 > 1, and performs a smooth Hermite interpolation between 0 and 1 in the interval Value to Value 2
  • Filter Step : Returns an analytically antialiased version of Step
  • Pow : Returns Value^{Value 2}
  • Bias :

These examples show the result of a Binary Operation combining two test patterns, one with horizontal red stripes, the other with vertical blue stripes.
