DeepToImage

You can use this node to flatten a deep image - in other words, merge all the samples in a deep image into a regular 2D image.

Inputs and Controls

Connection Type	Connection Name	Function
Input	unnamed	The deep image to flatten. This can also be a DeepMerge node with merged deep data.

Control (UI)	Knob (Scripting)	Default Value	Function
DeepToImage Tab
volumetric composition	volumetric_composition	enabled	When enabled, DeepToImage calculates both the front and back depths of each sample. When disabled, DeepToImage only calculates the front depth of each sample and assumes the samples do not overlap. The calculation takes less time, but if you have overlapping samples in your deep image, the resulting image might not represent every pixel as expected.
