Light Signal AOV

The name of a color AOV to use for the light signal to control your lines.  Typically this would be diffuse, but you can also put a light AOV here to determine the transition between photoreal and stylized based on the light emission.  This AOV has to be set up in Maya/Katana/Houdini or DisplayFilter will exit.

Light Signal AOV

The name Name of a color AOV to do line detection on. Manually set if you want to test on your AOV.

Diffuse Energy From

Under the hood a white shader approximation is created based off the Signal AOV to drive the Hatching. By default using average of RGB components of Signal AOV, but can also divide Signal AOV lighting results with a pure albedo from NPRalbedo AOV or albedo AOV. If NPRalbedo AOV chosen, must set Albedo Color in Stylized Controller Pattern node.

Light Mask Switch

Use light aov defined in signal_aov_string above as mask for previously daisy-chained Stylized shaders and/or physically based lighting
