Experimental:Line Smooth POP

Summary

The Line Smooth POP smooths line strips by blending the positions of adjacent points along a line strip.

It blends based on a choice of two methods: In the Smooth by Edge Distance method you give it a distance and it will find the points within that distance along the edge in both directions and blend them using either a Gaussian weighting or a Box weighting. With the Gaussian weighting, points farther from the computed point are given a lower weight. With a Box weighting, all points that are found along the adjacent edges up to the specified distance are give equal weight in computing the resulting point position.

In the second Smooth by Point Steps method you give a number of adjacent points in each direction to include in the smoothing calculation. In this method, points that are far from a given points may be included in the smoothing.

In the End Points Fixed option, it assures that the original end points of each line strip do not move.

In the Pre-Divide stage, it optionally adds more points by subdividing, similar to how the Line Divide POP adds new points, and it can add points based on the curvature of adjacent 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.

Extra Information for the Line Smooth POP can be accessed via an Info CHOP.

• total_cooks - Number of times the operator has cooked since the process started.

• cook_time - Duration of the last cook in milliseconds.

• cook_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the component timeline.

• cook_abs_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the absolute time.

• 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.

A sequence of vertices form a Polygon in a SOP. Each vertex is an integer index into the Point List, and each Point holds an XYZ position and attributes like Normals and Texture Coordinates.

A parameter in most CHOPs that restricts which channels of that CHOP will be affected. Normally all channels of a CHOP are affected by the operator. TOPs have Channel Mask, a similar feature.

A sequence of vertices form a Polygon in a SOP. Each vertex is an integer index into the Point List, and each Point holds an XYZ position and attributes like Normals and Texture Coordinates.

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.
