Thanks for taking the time to explain these things, BB and KobaltKween. Explanations like these go a long way to demystifying not only the material room node stuff but also what goes on under the surface, which really is all maths.

Both Bagginsbill and KobaltKween have been very patient trying to teach me fundamentals of node behaviour and coding it. I can't say I've mastered it yet, but they have given me that maths perspective (and BB's explanation earlier was really good for those who wonder how matmatic sees nodes and connections) so I do tend to see things as an equation, now.

Doesn't mean I'm maths-minded... not by a long shot. It's more: I get what they mean now when they say: "then, fold in your egg-white"... :biggrin:
