Parameter controled by a function

This sample shows how to setup a parameter that is controled by a function on a uniform node in a Substance Compositing graph.

To use this example:

1. Open Designer
2. Go to Windows > Python Editor
3. Copy the code below inside the editor
4. Press the Play button
