Laser Index

Provides the identity of the laser currently being rendered. During evaluation, each laser gets its own index, and this node exposes that as a signal. Use it to spread values across a multi-laser setup: different hues, positions, rotations, or scales per projector.

Inputs

This node has no inputs.

Outputs

Ideas

• Wire Normalized into a Color node's hue to spread a rainbow across all your lasers; each projector gets a different color.
• Multiply with a shift value to fan shapes across a stage; each laser offsets its content by a fraction of the total spread.
• Route into an Oscillator's Phase or a Phasor's Offset to stagger animation timing per laser.

Tips

• With a single laser, Normalized always outputs 0. The spread only becomes visible with two or more lasers in the output group.
• Index and Count are integers exposed as scalars. Count stays constant across a frame; Index changes per laser.
