The gpu takes care of interpolating the pixel's color over the triangle. We should have done this in "Discussion".)

Modulate is a shader that modulates the colors of any pixels behind it.

Description

Accepts only a $basetexture and this texture will be used to modulate pixels. Multiplies the color behind it with this surface's texture.

Tip.pngTip:This can be effectively used to fake various features that Source may not support, such as vertex colouring or lightmapping on models, by creating a surface above the first one to modulate it.
Warning.pngWarning:Expensive if multiple are used together.
