The Compare node
When to use it
Compares A against B and hands back 1 or 0. A mask you multiply with, not a branch.
When the answer is going to be multiplied anyway, this beats Branch and If. The graph stays flat and you avoid the hard edge a branch puts into the field.
The 0/1 edge is still an edge. Anywhere the transition will be visible as geometry, SmoothStep or a Select with a falloff looks better.
