I see this a lot in shaders. You'll have this diffuse node tacked on to the end of a whole chain of nodes. In code, it would be like:
Surface.Alternate_Diffuse = ImageMap("myImage.jpg") * (1 * 1)) * ColorRamp(IColor(8, 0, 0), IColor(23, 0, 0), IColor(4, 0, 8), IColor(0, 0, 16), .52 * Diffuse(1, 1))
...and Diffuse() is just out there. I don't get it. What is it doing?
Oh, and I don't get the Mul(1 * ImageMap, 1) either, even if I see that a fair bit as well, but I reckon that's just a bit of whimsy, maybe.
