RGB to HSV Node

The RGB to HSV node converts a value from a RGB to an HSV color space. RGB color space is defined by three separate channels:

  • R: First channel defines the amount of red in the color
  • G: Second channel defines the amount of green in the color
  • B: Third channel defines the amount of blue in the color

As for the HSV color space, it represents color in a cylinder and also contains three separate channels but each one as a completely different meaning

  • Hue: First channel defines the color itself as an angle on a color cylinder
  • Saturation: Second channel defines amount of gray in the color as a distance across a color cylinder radius
  • Value: Third channel defines brightness/intensity of the color as a distance across a color cylinder height


Nodes used: Texture Sample, RGB to HSV

Node Parameter Description Default Value
RGB Color vector in the RGB color space.

Only visible if the respective input port is not connected.

0,0,0
Precision Defines the amount of bytes the variable can hold, effectively defining how precise the value is. It's usefulness is bond by the hardware specifications necessary. Lowest precision is slightly faster but might produce errors and artifacts.
  • Float: Highest precision, useful for values that can be very high or very low in value (ie: positions, coordinates, etc)
  • Half: Medium precision, in most cases is as good as Float but at half of it's precision
  • Inherit: Use global precision set on master node properties
Float


Input Port Description Type
RGB Color vector in the RGB color space.
  • R: First channel, contain amount of red on the color.
  • G: Second channel, contain amount of green on the color.
  • B: Third channel, contain amount of blue on the color.
Float3
