The Cosine Mix texture mixes two textures together according to a cosine wave. It is similar to the Mix texture, but the difference between the two texture types is more apparent when the Mix Amount parameter is shifted towards 0 or 1 (figure 1).

The parameters of the Cosine Mix texture consist of the inputs for the two textures, and the Mix Amount parameter. The Mix Amount parameter accepts a float value or any texture that outputs a float, such as a Greyscale Image texture.
