The Checkerboard node
When to use it
A 3D checkerboard alternating between +1 and -1 per cell. Scale controls how fine the cells are.
It is a pattern, not a distance field. Wire it into Density and you get a lattice of solid cubes with no smooth crossing anywhere for the mesher to find.
As a mask it earns its keep: pick out alternating cells for colour, or for a brick-and-mortar classification. Combine it with maths nodes rather than with booleans.
