UV Distorter

What is it about?

This page covers the UV Distorter node of the classic node materials in Cinema 4D. It shifts UV coordinates along a direction vector — warping textures for heat haze, ripples or stylized smearing.

The ability to create distortions directly in the projection opens new possibilities for defining materials. In this example both the direction and the strength of the UV distortion was varied to distort an otherwise uniform grid.

This Node transforms the current UV coordinates according to the specified direction vector.
