Set Domain [DOD]
The Set Domain node
Set Domain Node Introduction
Set Domain is used to adjust or set the active area of an image or the area of the image
considered to have valid data.
It does not change the image‘s physical dimensions. Downstream nodes will not process
anything outside the Domain of Definition (DoD), thus speeding up rendering of computation-
intensive nodes.
This node provides an absolute mode, for setting the domain of definition manually, and a
relative mode for adjusting the existing domain of definition.
Inputs
The two inputs on the Set Domain node are used to connect 2D images.
–
Input: The orange background input must be connected. It accepts a 2D image with
the DoD you want to replace or adjust.
–
Foreground: The green image input is optional but also accepts a 2D image as its
input. When the foreground input is connected, the Set Domain node will replace the
Background input’s domain of definition with the foreground’s DoD.
Basic Node Setup
The example below assumes an image is connected to a Set Domain node to manually
configure the DoD.
A Set Domain node manually sets the area to limit image processing
