Hi,

could someone explain me the math behind and the benefits of the Bias and Gain VOPs over the classic add/mult/pow approach. These "functions" are present in the Color Correct VOP and recently they found their way to the Unified Noise VOP as well. Still I wasn't able to find any description of how they work and why should I prefer them over other value correction methods.

thanks in advance
Mate

Check voplib.h that you can find in

\Houdini12.0.XXX\houdini\vex\include

directory. It contains all the code and math behind those functions.

Bias = vop_bias(float base, bias) {}

Gain = vop_gain(float base, gain) {}
