Feature Request: Add a ‘Blending Mode’ feature in the 'Spline Mapper Grayscale' node.

Hello Substance Designer team,

Ever since you introduced the latest Spline tool features, I’ve been loving it.

However, after recently completing a project in Designer, I could not help noticing that the time I’d spent on the project would have been so much quicker if the spline node ‘Spline Mapper Grayscale’ contained a ‘Blending Mode’ feature (in which you can set the colour channel to have Max, Add or Add/sub blending options). Because of this missing feature, I ended up adding more work to my project by having to manually separate each piece, just so that I could blend them together using a different node manually.

Example #1
Example #2

Would it be possible for this feature to be included?

Hi!
Have you tried using the height channel instead of the color channel on the mapper node ?
The height data will use the max blending mode, the color data will use the result of the height blending for deciding which pixel is visible in the end.

If you can share your sbs I can show you directly.
