Colour And Depth Source
Updated: 22 Mar 2024
Combines two input images and generates a depth camera source from them.
Colour And Depth Source
Method #
This node is similar to the Depth Camera / Kinect Source node, but instead combines two input images and generates a depth camera source from them. This can then be used with some of the other Depth Camera / Kinect nodes, such as the Depth Camera / Kinect Mesh.
Parameters
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Preview In Viewport
Preview the generated image as an overlay in the viewport.
- Off : No preview is generated.
- RGBA : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport.
- RGB : Preview the colour channels in the viewport.
- Alpha : Preview the alpha channel in the viewport.
- PIP : Preview the image blended with alpha in the viewport, in a smaller picture in picture display, on top of the existing content.
Apply PostFX Before Alpha Image Input (Legacy)
When enabled, the alpha input image is applied after the postfx pass, overwriting any effects the postfx would have applied to the alpha channel.
Near Clip Plane
The closest distance that will be rendered. WARNING: Reducing this value too low can reduce the accuracy of aspects of the render.
Far Clip Plane
The furthest distance that will be rendered by this camera. WARNING: Increasing this value too high, without increasing the Near Clip can reduce the accuracy of aspects of the renderer. Generally best left untouched.
Depth Clip Hardness
How harsh the falloff is for depth data.
Colour Image Offset X
Manually align the colour image to the depth horizontally.
Colour Image Offset Y
Manually align the colour image to the depth vertically.
Output Depth
Toggle whether only the depth image is output.
The properties control the time at which the node is active. See Timeline for editing time segments.
Parameter Details Duration
Control the duration of the node’s time segment.
- Composition Duration : Use the length of the composition for the node’s time segment duration.
- Custom : Set a custom duration for the node’s time segment.
Node Time
The custom start and end time for the node.
Duration (Timecode)
The length of the node’s time segment (in time).
Duration (Frames)
The length of the node’s time segment (in frames).
Time Segment Enabled
Set whether the node’s time segment is enabled or not in the Timeline.
