846 Chapter 27 Warping and Morphing Images
Parameters in the Warper Node
A simple example of a Warper node used to warp an image with a single pair of source/
target shapes would appear with the following parameters. (For Warper nodes with
more source/target shape pairs defined, there will be more shapeName and
connectionName parameters listed.)
displayImage
A pop-up menu that allows you to choose whether the Viewer displays the source
image or the warped image. The warped image will be neither displayed nor rendered
if this pop-up menu isn’t set to Warped Image.
overallDisplacement
Defines the amount of displacement that is applied to all source/target shape pairs
simultaneously. A value of 0 applies no displacement, 0.5 applies displacement halfway
between the source and target shapes, and 1 applies the maximum displacement to
match the target shape. It is also possible to set this parameter to a value greater than
1, although this results in an overlapping displacement which may not be desirable.
Note: When creating a warp effect, you may achieve a more realistic or organic effect if
you adjust the displacement of each individual source/target shape pair separately,
rather than relying on this single control to animate the displacement of every shape
pair in the node.
