The User Scalar node texture allows the user to read and return a single number value of the currently shaded object as a result. This can be useful if the same material or texture is applied to several objects in the scene, but we still want to control some of its aspects (ie.eg., material glossiness or , a blend between two other textures inside a Mix texture, etc.) with user-defined properties. Visit the User Attributes Workflow page for information and tutorials on user-defined properties.
