Experimental:Delete POP

Summary

The Delete POP removes (or keeps) points or primitives using 5 methods found on the Attribute, Thin, Pattern, Group and Bounding pages. You can choose to delete points or primitives. On the Attribute page you can delete based on the values of point or primitive attributes. On the Thin page you can delete based on parameter-defined ranges, steps or randomly. You can delete based on patterns using Pattern Matching on the Pattern page. You can delete based on point or primitive groups on the Group page. You can delete based on bounding ranges on any attribute on the Bounding page.

Four of the methods let you build the logic using sequential blocks of parameters. For example on the Attribute page, one block selects P(0) > 0 and another that selects P(1) < 0 and ANDed together they will delete points in a quarter of the space. Otherwise is common to build an attribute in a Math Mix POP and use it in the Delete POP.

When deleting primitives, if points or vertices are no longer used, they are deleted. When deleting points, the vertices and primitives that use them can be deleted in part or entirely. Deleted points can cause like strips to be split, trimmed or deleted entirely.

For pattern matching on the Pattern page, see Pattern Matching.

Note: Deleting attributes can be done with the Attribute POP, the Select POP and all the Math POPs.

See also Group POP. The Field POP also can delete points.

Parameter Color Space parmcolorspace - ⊞ - Controls how all color parameters on this node are interpreted. The color values as treated as being in the selected color space, and are converted to the Working Color Space before they are used as part of the node's operation. Note that this does not change the color space of the node itself, as that is always in the Working Color Space.

• sRGB srgb - sRGB color space, with sRGB transfer function. Considered an SDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• sRGB - Linear srgblinear - sRGB color space, with linear transfer function. Considered an SDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• Rec.601 (NTSC) rec601ntsc - Rec.601 with NTSC primaries color space, with Rec.601 transfer function. Considered an SDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• Rec.709 rec709 - Rec.709 color space, with Rec.709 (same as Rec.2020) transfer function. Considered an SDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• Rec.2020 rec2020 - Rec.2020 color space, with Rec.2020 (same as Rec.709) transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• DCI-P3 dcip3 - DCI-P3 color space, with D65 white point and 2.6 gamma transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• DCI-P3 (D60) dcip3d60 - DCI-P3 "D60 sim" color space, with D60 white point, and 2.6 gamma transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• Display-P3 (D65) displayp3d65 - Display-P3 color space, with D65 white point, and sRGB gamma transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• ACES2065-1 aces2065-1 - ACES 2065-1 (also known as ACES AP0) color space, with a linear gamma transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• ACEScg acescg - ACEScg (also known as ACES AP1) color space, with a linear gamma transfer function. Considered an HDR color space with respect to Reference White.

• Passthrough passthrough - When selected, the color values will be used as-is in the operation, without any modification or attempt to convert them into the Working Color Space.

Parameter Reference White parmreferencewhite - ⊞ - When converting a parameter color value to the Working Color Space, this controls how it should be treated with respect to Reference White. If the Working Color Space is the same Reference White, then no adjustment is done. If they are different, then the Reference White level (brightness) of this color will be adjusted to the range expected by the Working Color Space. For example if the project is set to have a SDR Reference White of 120 nits, and the HDR Reference White is 80 nits, then a color of (1, 1, 1), which is 120 nits in the SDR color space, will be converted to be (1.5, 1.5, 1.5), which is 120 nits still in the HDR Working Color Space.

• Default For Color Space default - Will use either the SDR or the HDR Reference White, based on the color space selected.

• Standard (SDR) sdr - Will treat the Parameter Color Space as SDR for it's reference white value.

• High (HDR) hdr - Will treat the Parameter Color Space as HDR for it's reference white value.

• cook_start_time - Time in milliseconds at which the operator started cooking in the frame it was cooked.

• cook_end_time - Time in milliseconds at which the operator finished cooking in the frame it was cooked.

• cooked_this_frame - 1 if operator was cooked this frame.

Each SOP has a list of Points. Each point has an XYZ 3D position value plus other optional attributes. Each polygon Primitive is defined by a vertex list, which is list of point numbers.

An operator whose Bypass flag is set does nothing: All data going into its first input appears at its output unaffected.

Information associated with SOP geometry. Points and primitives (polygons, NURBS, etc.) can have any number of attributes - position (P) is standard, and built-in optional attributes are normals (N), texture coordinates (uv), color (Cd), etc.

A Link. The grey dashed lines between nodes is a Reference or Link that indicates one operator is getting data from another operator from any Operator Family.

The grey dashed lines between nodes is a Reference (or Link). A Reference is (1) a Parameter Reference, a parameter in an OP that is a name or path to another operator, (2) a Node Reference, an expression in a parameter or DAT script that contains the name or path of another operator, (3) a DAT Cell Reference or (4) a CHOP Channel Reference.

A Link or Reference is a dashed line between nodes that represent other data flowing between nodes. Examples are CHOP Exports, node Paths in parameters, and expressions in parameters referencing CHOP channels, DAT tables and other nodes. In contrast is a Wire that connects nodes in the same Operator Family.

A parameter reference can be setup between any two parameters by putting an expression in one parameter that refers to another parameter. This creates a Link between the two parameters such that when one changes, the other will change automatically (known in other software as a "constraint").

An Operator Family which operate on Channels (a sequence of numbers (Samples)) which are used for animation, audio, mathematics, simulation, logic, UI construction, and data streamed from/to devices and protocols.
