After doing another post for something else I discovered something that looks like a bug to me.

I have a height field with a size of 1024x1024, and a resolution of 1 (1024x1024 voxels). When I import this into Copernicus (Houdini 21 btw.) I seem to only really get 1023x1023 pixels out of it. See attached image. Around the very edge of the image plane I can see a one pixel sized dark line that has no values (the picker disappears over this line), where there should be information. Or is there something I need to address in sops?

Has someone else had this issue? Could it be a bug?

Thanks,

Ah. I did not think about that. I can use a uvtomono node. By default the operation is set to Magnitude/Length, so that should do it. Seems like I have to do some serious remapping after this though. First remap to get the result to a normalized 0-1 range and then a second one to get the range into something more useful since I seem to be getting a one pixel dark line on the imported height field (see attached image). But, yes, seems to work. If for some reason this is not how I should do it, do shout out.

@jsmack: thanks!

Hi,
I would really like to find a method of calculating the slope of a height field, inside Copernicus. I know that there is a labs tool that does that in the sop context, but I'm looking for something purely COPs if possible. For now I have not been able to find any nodes or combinations thereof that does or helps me do this. But then again, maybe I've been looking in the wrong spot?

Btw, I know that there is a slope direction, but I'm looking for the "raw" slope with no directionality.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Dag
