Build-in effects - Inverted

Last edited 2026-02-27

The effect returns inverted colors from the main texture.

Input data:

• Self (Main texture of the object/layer, depending on where you apply the effect; contains information about Red, Green, Blue, Alpha)

Output data:

• Render (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha colors that will be displayed on the screen)

Example written in pseudocode:
load float4 Self;                                        // LOAD main texture

float4 Render;                                        // Create an empty variable

float3 Const = float3(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);                // Assign a const vector that will store the R, G, B values of 1, 1, 1.

Render.rgb = Const - Self.rgb;                        // Assign the result of subtracted Const and Self to the colors R, G, B
Render.a = Self.a;                                        // Assign the Alpha color from Self to Alpha

return Render;                                        // Return the Render
