Surface Depth Node

The Surface Depth node outputs the distance between the object surface and the camera. It can be set in a [0,1] range or use its real value directly in View Space range by changing the View Space parameter.
NOTE: The distance value is obtained by transforming each vertex position into view space and returning its Z value thus it's not dependent on the Depth buffer.

Nodes used: Surface Depth

Node Parameter	Description	Default Value
View Space	Defines how the distance value between camera and surface is to be presented Eye Space: Real distance value between camera and surface 0-1 Space: Distance value in a linear [0,1] range	Eye Space

Input Port	Description	Type
Vertex Position	If set, returns surface depth for the specified vertex position. Useful when applying a vertex offset to shader and need to get the offsetted surface depth.	Float3
