'If no mask present then use this' issue

Twoforjoy

Hey peeps,

Apologies if an answer for this exists somewhere, but I'm having no luck finding anything.

Essentially I'm trying to create a node that has the ability to use a mask, but will use a value of solid white when you don't have an input present.

I know this is something you can do with switch blend nodes, but I was just wondering if this is something that's possible with parameters? A nice if else kinda deal?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there ! You can just expose the value of a switch so you get the choice to use the texture or not. 

Here's an SBS as well as an SBSR for testing in substance player (notice also that you can make the input of the pattern disappear if switch's value is set to off using > input["switch"] in the visible if box of the input)
