In the old version of Houdini, i remember that there is a comp operator called “ emboss”. But now I do not find it in Version 6 -non-commerical version. Does anyone out there how I can do the Emboss comp operator in Houdini version 6?

thanks

I don't know what the old emboss cop did but if you want the standard emboss look, use the Convolve COP. In the middle three boxes put in these numbers:
-1 -1 1
-1 1 1
-1 1 1

To get that regular gray emboss look, append a Mono COP after that.

To change the direction of the emboss, play around with “rotating” the negative one's around the edge.
