The Aperture node expands or compacts every single feature on the terrain, similar to bokeh in a camera.
Properties
| Aperture | |
| Information | Displays additional information or metadata about the aperture operation and its current settings. |
| Mode | Specifies the morphological operation to apply to the input, affecting how features are expanded or contracted. DilationExpands or grows features in the input by the specified shape and size, filling small holes and connecting nearby elements. ErosionContracts or shrinks features in the input by the specified shape and size, removing small details and separating connected elements. |
| Size | Sets the size of the structuring element (aperture) used for the operation. Larger values increase the effect's reach. |
| Shape | Determines the geometric shape of the structuring element used for dilation or erosion, affecting the style of the transformation. DiskUses a circular (disk-shaped) structuring element for smooth, rounded transformations. PolygonUses a regular polygon as the structuring element, allowing for custom-sided shapes. AsteriskUses a star or asterisk-shaped structuring element, emphasizing cross-like or radiating effects. LineUses a straight line as the structuring element, applying the effect directionally. CornerUses a corner-shaped structuring element, targeting angular or edge features. |
| Vertices Count | For polygon shapes, sets the number of vertices (sides) used, controlling the regularity and appearance of the structuring element. |
| Corner Angle | Specifies the angle of the corner for the 'Corner' shape, adjusting the sharpness or openness of the structuring element. |
| Direction | Sets the orientation or direction for directional shapes (such as Line or Asterisk), controlling the angle of the effect. |
| Antialiased | If enabled, applies antialiasing to the aperture operation, smoothing the edges of the transformed features for a cleaner result. |
