Houdini 21.0 Nodes Copernicus nodes

Cable Unpack Copernicus node

Extracts individual wires from a cable.

On this page
Since 21.0

This node outputs individual wires from the input cable. The node identifies wires by their name. If a cable has multiple wires of the same name, the node distinguishes those wires by their index. For example, if a cable’s wires are depth, diffuse, emission, and depth, the first instance (first wire) of depth has an index of 0 while the second instance (fourth wire) has an index of 1.

Use this node after a Cable Pack COP, which combines input layers into one cable, to split the cable back into its individual wires.

See Cables for information about how to use this node.
