Houdini 21.0 Nodes Copernicus nodes
Performs a cross product of two RGB layers.
| On this page |
This node performs the vector cross product of two layers. A cross product finds a mutually perpendicular value, so is mostly used when the input layers store signed vectors.
a
An RGB layer or Vector VDB for the first value to cross product.
b
An RGB layer or Vector VDB for what to cross product against. If not
present, {0, 0, 1} is used.
cross
An RGB layer or Vector VDB of the result of the cross product.
