Dent [DNT]
The Dent node
Dent Node Introduction
The Dent node creates a circular deformation of an image similar to a Fish Eye Lens effect, with
the choice of six different Dent filters.
Inputs
The two inputs on the Dent node are used to connect a 2D image and an effect mask, which
can be used to limit the warped area.
–
Input: The orange input is used for the primary 2D image that is warped.
–
Effect Mask: The blue input is for a mask shape created by polylines, basic primitive
shapes, paint strokes, or bitmaps from other tools. Connecting a mask to this input
limits the Dent to only those pixels within the mask. An effects mask is applied to the
tool after the tool is processed.
Basic Node Setup
The Dent node is used below to make a circular pattern based on a Fast Noise and a Mosaic
Blur (DaVinci Resolve Resolve FX only). The Crop node at the end is used to set the desired
resolution.
The Dent node can help create lens distortion effects or a motion graphics background
