sampler info node
I was just looking at shaders and messing around with them and I noticed that almost EVERY shading network has a sampler node's facing ratio connected to some ramp's v-coord.
Why is that so?
I understand that facing ratio is the angle between the surface normal and the view direction, but why v-coord? why not u-coord?
