Surface Distance node

Left Toolbar > 3D icon Mesh Nodes > Mesh FilterSurface Distance

The Surface Distance node takes as input a surface value and a surface image value with black pixels that represent the 0 distance elements, and the node computes the distance from each surface pixel to the closest 0 value pixel.

For more information about surfaces see surface workflow.

input
Surface Distance In Surface Image with 0 values (black dots)
