Houdini 20.5 Nodes Copernicus nodes

Bright Copernicus node

Brightens a layer.

On this page

This node scales and adds to the incoming layer’s channels to brighten the layer. This node first scales the layer by the Brightness parameter and then adds the Shift parameter.

Before and after using the Bright node.

Parameters

Signature

The layer type that the source accepts.

See Signatures for more information.

Mask

The amount of the new value to mix in with the original value. Higher values mix in more of the new value. Lower values mix in less of the new value. You can also set the RGBA channels to which you apply the effects of this node.

The default value is 1, which means this node uses only the new value. See Mask for more information.

Toggle RGB

Turns the Red, Green, and Blue channels on and off.

Red (default)

Applies this node’s effects to the Red channel.

Green (default)

Applies this node’s effects to the Green channel.

Blue (default)

Applies this node’s effects to the Blue channel.

Alpha (default)

Applies this node’s effects to the Alpha channel.

Brightness

The scale factor to control how bright or dim the layer is. Higher values increase the brightness. Lower values decrease the brightness.

The default value is 1.

Tint Brightness

The tint (color) to apply to the Brightness of the layer.

The default value is 1, 1, 1.

Shift

The amount to increase or decrease the layer’s pixel value. Higher values increase the pixel value and overall brightness. Lower values decrease the pixel value and overall brightness.

The default value is 0.

Tint Shift

The tint (color) to apply to the layer’s pixel value.

The default value is 1, 1, 1.

Inputs

source

The original layer to brighten.

bright

An optional per-pixel brightness factor that’s scaled by the Brightness parameter.

shift

An optional per-pixel shift amount that’s scaled by the Shift parameter. You must set the Shift parameter to 1 for this input to have an effect.

mask

An optional per-pixel mask amount that’s scaled by the Mask parameter.

Outputs

bright

The brightened source layer.
