Hello what is the position output of node voronoi for? thanks

Blender documentation : Outputs Position Position of feature point.

I already read the manual. I still didn’t understand. Is there any other material that talks about this? preferably with example images? thanks

Plug it into the output node of a shader tree. Now you have a reference image.

It very literally returns the positions of the Voronoi cells. There’s no way to break it down further than that

There are some “random” points called “Feature points”. Segments are drawn around FPs. For example, picture “Distance” in docs represents the distance between current and closest FP as colors (from black to white, from 0 to 1). As I can see, output “Position” “fills” every segment with value repre…

but in practice: how can we use the position output? thanks

Depends on the use case and what you’re trying to accomplish. At the broadest level, it’s a way for Voronoi cells to have sharp edges instead of blurred boundaries. In practice, that doesn’t really mean anything. You’ll be best served by playing around with Position vs Distance in your procedural ma…

this output position when connected to the vector channel can produce tile ? thank you again

You can use it to make a mosaic tile or stained glass type shader: [image]

[image] Beeg: but in practice In other words… “why would I use this?” Is it great for fruits and vegies?. Motorized vehicles? That nasty yellow drip in my eye?

A very good application of that feature :

But it’s not limited to that , you can do a lot of different things but it’s easier to have ideas once you’re familiar with procedural texturing.
