Description

A small material function that quantizes a Gradient Input, given a set number of Steps.
Provides three outputs:

• One included
• One excluded
• Zero excluded

I made this function because I needed the output with “one included”, to get the full range of values.
Quantizing is a simple function, but its basic form:

Returns without a result that does not include one.

The same can be applied for other contexts, not only materials, such as having it as a Niagara Dynamic Input.
