[Solved] HF Layer to COPs, normalize hight

[sant0s81]

Hello,

I have a HF with different layers/masks.

In COP I want to modify these layers.

The problem is, that when I SOP Import the height, I get a white image only.
In the viewer I can normalize the height - but of course it has no effect on the shader tree.

I tried to add a fitrange to get the height normalized, but somehow nothing is changing in the shader tree.

Is there a correct way, doing that?

Thx alot,

sant0s

I think you're on the right track, perhaps create a new attribute from the height and cops will pick it up.

You can leverage the promotion technique to get the minimum and maximum height values and store them as detail attributes.

Then the fit might work.

f@height_NORMALIZED = fit(@height,detail(0,"lowest"),detail(0,"highest"),0,1);
v@Cd =f@height_NORMALIZED;

There is a "remap range" function right in the SOP import. I think the equalize node can normalize colors in COPs, too.

@konstantin magnus ,

thanks alot, I just didnt see the "remap range" - works perfect!

And thx for the VEXSnippet @Atom
Just started to learn VEX more serious and I actually understand what you wrote there... thats so cool!

Great day to y'all,
