Overview

A plate standing in 3D: an image on a quad at its own aspect. file takes a file path — or the NAME of a 2D node to show that branch live.

How to

How-to

Set file to an image path, or the NAME of a 2D node to show that branch live on the card.
Place it with the transform knobs; columns / rows subdivide it for projection.
Render3D sees it through the camera; a Project3D can throw an image onto it.

Inputs

Input	What it takes
in	the image this node works on
img	the image mapped onto this card

Outputs

Output	Type
out	Scene

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	What it does
tx	Float	0.0	Translate X — position along the world X axis, metres.
ty	Float	0.0	Translate Y — position along the world Y axis (up), metres.
tz	Float	0.0	Translate Z — position along the world Z axis, metres. The camera looks down −Z.
rx	Float	0.0	Rotate around X, degrees.
ry	Float	0.0	Rotate around Y (turntable), degrees.
rz	Float	0.0	Rotate around Z (roll), degrees.
sx	Float	1.0	Scale along X. 1 = unchanged.
sy	Float	1.0	Scale along Y.
sz	Float	1.0	Scale along Z.
file	Text		The image on the card. Easiest: wire any 2D node into the img input instead. Typing works too: a file path (quotes from Copy-as-path are fine) or a 2D node NAME for a live texture.
columns	Int	1	Horizontal tessellation. 1 is fine for a plain card; a PROJECTION receiver wants 8+ so the baked UVs track the true projection.
rows	Int	1	Vertical tessellation - same rule as columns.
disabled	Bool	false	Bypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back.
label	Text		A note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache.
hide_input	Bool	false	Draw the node without its input wire — a tidy graph for a node whose source is obvious (a Dot, a viewer tap).
