Deprecation 2019 11 01

PixaFlux 2019 11 01 introduces major features that more clearly define it as a materials and texture image composer. Some other features have been removed to speed up many node operations and simplify the compatibility between nodes.

These changes that make some projects from older versions incompatible with newer versions. We have tried to minimize the impact when loading older projects but in some cases you'll find missing nodes, missing connections or missing attribute values.

Deprecated Features

Color Formats

The following color formats have been removed: M, MA, RGB, HSVA and LABA.

All nodes related to converting from or to these color formats have been deprecated or modified.

Blend and Mask in Adjust Nodes

Blend and Mask have been removed from the Adjust nodes.

See the Deprecation Blend and Mask page for more information.

Deprecated Nodes

• Join Channels node This node has been replaced by the Join Rgba node and Join Normal node
• To M node This node has been removed. The VALUE color mode can represent monochromatic images.
• To LAB node This node has been removed.
• To HSV node This node has been removed.
• Value Absolute node This node has been replaced by the Value Function node.

Modified Nodes

• Warp node The Warp node has been replaced by a new Custom Node.
• Normal Angle node Returns a VALUE image with the angles in radians.
• Blend Normal node New fade angle with improved coverage.
• Mix Normal node New fade angle with improved coverage.
• Mesh Distance node Returns a VALUE image with the absolute distance.
• Mesh Normal Angle node Returns a VALUE image with the angles in radians.
• To Value node Converts from RGBA to VALUE using these formulas: RGBA: dstpixel = (srcpixel.r + srcpixel.g + srcpixel.b) / 3. NORMAL: dstpixel = srcpixel.z. VALUE: dstpixel = srcpixel.
• Node Graph node The Node Graph node checks the project and fails to load it if there are duplicated input or output names. Attribute, input and output names are case insensitive (NUM is equal to num).
