Houdini 20.5 Nodes Copernicus nodes

Contact Sheet Copernicus node

Arranges input layers into a contact sheet.

On this page

This operation arranges the incoming layers into a grid pattern, reminiscent of a contact sheet. This is sometimes referred to as a Mosaic.

Parameters

Signature

The layer type that the source accepts.

See Signatures for more information.

Images per Line

How many layers to arrange on a line before moving to the next row.

Stack Vertically

What order to stack the layers in vertically.

Top to Bottom

Start with the top line, and add additional layers in a line below it.

Bottom to Top

Start with the bottom line, and add additional layers in a line above it.

Stack Horizontally

What order to stack the layers horizontally.

Left to Right

Each layer is placed to the right of the previous.

Right to Left

Each layer is placed to the left of the previous.

Stack Images in Rows

Start stacking the layers along a line first, moving to the next line when full. With this off, layers will be stacked vertically first.

Max Lines

Limit the number of lines that can be output. Will generate additional output layers if this is exceeded.

Keep Full Size

Output the maximum size for the provided limits, even if there are not enough input layers.

Background Color

The color to use for regions where no layer is present.

First Input Offset

The offset in the stacking rules to use for the first input. This can be used to position a new sequence in a larger texture.

Scale Output Resolution

Scale down the output resolution. For a quick contact sheet you likely do not need the full resolution of all the inputs, as the size can get very large.

Scale Input Images

The input layers are scaled to a matching space. This is the data window that is adjusted, not the display window (see Spaces).

Scale Input Method

How to scale the incoming data windows.

X Axis

Match the first inputs x-axis.

Y Axis

Match the first inputs y-axis.

Stretch to Fit

Stretch the layer to fit.

Clipped Sampling

When sampling outside of the layer’s data window, return the background color rather than using the layer’s border settings.

Filter

The method used to sample the image.

The default value is Box. See Filters for more information.

Inputs

image1

A series of layers to arrange into a contact sheet.

Outputs

contactsheet1

The resulting contact sheet. May gain additional outputs if more source images are present.
