Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

SOP Import compositing node

Imports a 2d Volume from SOPs as planes into a composite network.

Since 16.0

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.

This node cooks a SOP network. Any volumes present will be copied into corresponding named image planes. Image planes with no corresponding volumes will grab the first source volume.

The source volume will be scaled into the destination resolution. A direct one-to-one copy is only performed if resolutions are equal. No filtering is done on downsampling, and only linear on upsampling, so for best results a one-to-one transfer should be done followed by a Scale COP.

Note

Composite networks cannot be re-entrant, the SOP pointed to cannot depend itself upon the output of COPs. Use a Stash SOP where necessary to break dependencies.

Parameters

SOP Path

The SOP Node to cook. It should consist of a number of named, two-dimensional, volumes.

Import

Volume names to import. Wildcards are accepted, as well as a whitespace separated list of names. Only volumes whose names match the list will be imported. Volumes without names will only be imported if the mask is '*' or empty.

Set Resolution from SOPs

Turns on the Override Resolution and sets it to the current resolution of the first volume in the pointed to network. If no SOP or no volume is found, this does nothing.

Set Planes from SOPs

Turns off the built-in list of plane generations and builds a custom plane list to import each named primitive in the source SOP. If no SOP is found, does nothing.

Remap Range

When on, the layers imported will be scaled and shifted to fit inside this range.
