MDL Shader Mixer Brick for RGB Color Components [SOLVED]

algovincian

I can't seem to find an MDL brick that breaks down a color into its individual RGB components so they can be operated on independently. Does one exist and I'm just blind?

Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

In case anybody else is ever interested - I think I found the brick to break down a color into its separate RGB components:

Bricks->Functions->MDL->Built Ins->Types->Accessors->Float3->Float3 Get X
Bricks->Functions->MDL->Built Ins->Types->Accessors->Float3->Float3 Get Y
Bricks->Functions->MDL->Built Ins->Types->Accessors->Float3->Float3 Get Z

And the brick to re-combine them into a color:

Bricks->Functions->MDL->Built Ins->Types->Color->Color 3 Inputs

It seems amazing that anyone could figure that out!

Just took some fishing. I looked for like 10 minutes before posting and came up empty. After posting, I kept looking and immediately found it - doh!

Hopefully, it will save somebody else some time ;)

Since you understand all this nonsense, can you modify the Uber Shader so it can take an uploaded RMA texture and unpack into the relevant channels (Roughness/Metallicity).
