Houdini 12 Reference Stand-alone utilities

Synopsis

dsmmerge [-l opacitylimit] -o outputfile dsm1.rat dsm2.rat ...

Description

Merges two or more deep shadow/camera maps with correct depth compositing. This is the command-line equivalent of the DSM Merge render node. See Deep shadow maps and deep camera maps for more information.

Options

-l

Opacity limit: once the program reaches this opacity in a pixel, it will stop compositing. This can save time when compositing volumes where the opacity can build up to a point that’s practically opaque but not actually 1.0. The default is 1.0.

-o

The name of the output file. This is required.
