Old network
As of Houdini 20.5, use Copernicus nodes instead of Compositing nodes. Though both networks still exist, the Compositing network is now designated as COP Network - Old. The Compositing network and its nodes will be deprecated and then removed in a future Houdini release.
Drop Shadow creates a blurred, offset, shadow using the alpha channel of the input image.
The input’s color is replaced entirely with the shadow color, then the alpha is expanded, blurred, and offset. The result is put under the original image to create a composited layer that contains the shadow.
Parameters ¶
Shadow Color
The color to draw the shadow in.
Expansion
Amount to expand the shadow, default in pixels. A bit of expansion can ensure a strong shadow that would otherwise be washed out by blurring, especially with thin text.
Blur
Amount to blur the shadow. Defaults to pixels.
Opacity
The alpha of the thickest part of the shadow.
Offset
The amount to offset the shadow to give the effect of directional lighting.
Units
The distance based parameters may either be specified in pixels or in uv coordinates. This switches between the two specifications.
