Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Extract compositing node

Extracts a plane or channel from a multi-plane source.

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.

Extracts a plane or channel from another COP, optionally renaming it in the process. This is useful to isolate a plane or channel from a multi-plane source, like a SOP Import or File loading an EXR file.

This simply passes the image through from the input, so is essentially free during cooking.

Parameters

Mask

Extract

Selects whether to extract a full plane or a channel of a plane.

Plane

Selects which plane to extract when Extract is Plane.

Channel

Selects a channel to extract from a plane when Extract is Single Channel.

Rename Plane

Name of the new plane. When Extract is Plane, this can be left blank and no rename will be done (the original plane name is preserved). It is required in Single Channel mode.
