Shaded Material in Filter

Produces a shaded image from a height field. The height field is defined to have greater heights with lighter shades, and lesser heights (lower areas) with darker shades. You can combine this filter with the CIHeightFieldFromMask filter to produce quick shadings of masks, such as text.

Note that the image produced by this filter may have infinite dimensions. If this is the case, since Quartz Composer doesn’t know how to render such images, you will need to convert it to finite dimensions before rendering it – typically using the Image Crop patch.

Core Image filters might not produce any image if any of their image inputs are undefined. Be also aware that they expect coordinates expressed in image pixels and not in Quartz Composer units.
