We have a lot of new features to release. We need to arrange all this stuff properly to reduce bugs in test release.

Really nice work, cheers, mib.
Not sure how it supposes to work with bump.
You could allow the dirt node to be plugged into the bump channel, maybe.

And what result do you expect in this case?

since "dirt" seems to be a standard texture node type, it should be possible to plug it into any texture input anyway - or not?

the blue orb example is what i would call "wear". dirt is often a layer on top of an object, thus using it in the diffuse and the bump channel at the same time could emulate that...

Dirt texture can't be calculated precisely enough. It is noise source itself. So if we connect it to bump, the result will be like a very bumpy surface because dirt texture returns random value all the time.

Was just a thought. I thought it could give a procedural mask effect on edges using AO to simulate a worn off clear coat layer for example, with the paint and bare metal underneath. Thanks for clarifying though.

This is also an example of what I was referring to, but with better wording.
. Thanks t_3
