Does this behave like overlays in Terregen?  I'm a bit confused on it's functionality.

Thanks 😄

Best way to describe it  - Overlay's blending takes place at the edges of your chosen shaders .

1)  Scanlines

  1. Fractal noise
  2. Scanlines (top shader) OVERLAY fractal noise (bottom shader) - the scanlines are the dominant pattern shown with fractal noises' influence occuring in scanlines' edges.
  3. Fractal noise (top shader) scanlines occuring in wherever the noise breaks from black to white.
