[ Add TOP — Explained Simply ]
The Add TOP combines multiple input images by adding their pixel values together.
Formula:
Output = Input 1 + Input 2
Each pixel from the first input is added to the corresponding pixel of the second input.
If the combined value of any color channel exceeds 1, it is automatically clamped (limited) to prevent overflow.
🧠 What That Means Practically
Brighter areas become even brighter
Dark areas are less affected
Useful for light effects, glows, and layering highlights
⚙️ Technical Note
The Add TOP supports:
a. 2D Textures
b. 3D Textures
c. 2D Texture Arrays
Which makes it flexible for more advanced workflows.
