Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Tile compositing node

Tiles the image sequence with multiple copies of the input image.

On this page

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 operation tiles the image sequence with multiple copies of the input image. The copies can be flipped every other tiling by mirroring the image.

The resolution of the image is increased by the amount of tiling vertically and horizontally:

New X resolution = (old X resolution) * (# of tiles in X)
New Y resolution = (old Y resolution) * (# of tiles in Y)

Note

The amount of tiling in X and Y cannot be animated, as this changes the size of the image (though the offsets can be animated). If you want to animate the tiling, use a Transform COP with the Image Wrap set to 'Repeat' or 'Mirror' and animate the transform.

Parameters

Tiling

Specify the number of copies of the input image to tile here, both horizontally and vertically.

Tile Offset

Allows you to set the origin of the tiling (uses UV 0-1 ranges). This will translate the tiles.

Tile Method

Allows you to mirror the copies that you are tiling independently for X and Y.

Normal

Don’t do any mirroring.

Mirror

Flip every other tile, starting with the second tile.

Mirror First

Flip every other tile, starting at the first tile.
