Get Slope

This sounds interesting. Looking forward to giving it a go. Thanks

The .sbs is missing a dependency. HelperFunctions.sbs

Uploaded fixed version. Should be available soon.

This looks awesome! I can see myself using this a ton. Definitely going to give this a try. Thanks!

Perhaps I'm messing up, but I can get this filter to apply correctly, can anyone who's used it without a problem, just give me a quick rundown in how you used it? Thanks

Sorry! The fix is still pending approval. It is broken until then.

I have tried this in SP. it gives me an empty paint layer with this filter attached when I drag and drop the filter. but it does not seem to work as intended. does it work with SP? perhaps I did not download the fixed version.

Ok. It's updated and should work for everyone.

For some reason I can only download the XML file. Any tip for how to open/use it as a sbar/sbs?

i agree with marvinjfisher, i have the same problem.

please fix the file QuantumTheory, for some reason i can't download.

The Height Selector isolates pixels in a greyscale heightmap based on their value. Useful for when you want to texture the "tops or bottoms" of a heightmap. The slope pixel processor generates a slope texture where black pixels on the greyscale map are considered flat planes and white pixels are considered vertical angles. I use the height selector to isolate which angles in that slope map you want to output.

The slope generator won't give great results if you feed really high contrast greyscale maps in there such as white noise. It also seems to fail on perfectly linear slopes created by the shape node. Just use the height selector on those.

It worked fine for me. I just right clicked the Download link and it asked to save it as an SBS. I saved that, loaded it into Substance, and it works fine.

@QuantumTheory - What's the difference between the Get_Slope graph and the Height_Selector graph? They seem to do roughly the same thing but Get_Slope has two outputs and doesn't seem to make as clean of results as Height_Selector does (trying this just with a Plasma node to test). I get a big artifact line with GS but not with HS.

This is fantastic!

When I download the file I only get the slope and not the Height selector. Am I missing something?

look usefull

Exactly what i was looking for!

I realize I am a complete noob to designer(second day of trial and error) but how does the height selector node connect to other nodes?

This doesn't seem to be working in 2019.2.0, anyone else?

I saw someone would just grab this and there is a node called Get Slope in their graph, but I just don't know how to do this. Is there a way to import the resource into Substance Designer?
