>
> This page covers the **Shuffle Combine node** of the classic node materials in **Cinema 4D**. Like Shuffle, but drawing from two inputs — mixing color and alpha channels across different sources.

Shuffle Combine rearranges the selected red, green, blue and alpha components from two color inputs into a single color.

This function reflects that of the [Shuffle Node](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/NET_MAXON_PATTERN_NODE_EFFECT_SHUFFLE.html.md), only that here you can mix the Color and Alpha channels of two different color inputs.
