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 reduces the resolution of the image, and allows you to focus in on a specific area of the image. It does not replace the area outside the windowed area with black; the original image information is kept.
This operation effectively does a Transform and Crop.
Note
If Large Canvas support is off, this node does exactly the same thing as the Crop operation.
Parameters ¶
Method
The window area can either be represented by 2 opposite points of a rectangle, or the rectangles lower left corner and its width and height.
Units
Specifies the units to crop in, either pixels or UV.
Horizontal Area
The left/right bounds of the window area. This parameter cannot be animated; use the Offset parameter to pan the image through the window.
Vertical Area
The bottom/top bounds of the window area. This parameter cannot be animated; use the Offset parameter to pan the image through the window.
Offset
An animatable image offset, so the image may be panned through the area.
Hold Edges Outside Image Bounds
This determines the behavior of the crop when the crop window goes outside the normal image bounds. If on, the edge pixels will be streaked outward to fill the outside area. If off, black pixels will be used.
