Facilitates loading images with transparency for AI artists, preserving alpha channels for seamless integration in creative projects.
The Hy3D21LoadImageWithTransparency node is designed to facilitate the loading of images while preserving their transparency attributes. This node is particularly beneficial for AI artists who work with images that require transparency, such as PNG files with alpha channels. By maintaining the transparency, the node ensures that the images can be seamlessly integrated into various compositions without unwanted backgrounds. The node processes images by converting them into a format that retains the transparency information, making it easier to manipulate and use in 3D rendering or other creative projects. This capability is crucial for tasks that involve layering images or creating complex visual effects where transparency plays a key role.
The image parameter accepts either a file path as a string or an image object. This parameter is crucial as it specifies the source image that you want to load with transparency. If a file path is provided, the node reads the image from the specified location, ensuring that the transparency data is preserved. If an image object is provided, it is converted to a format that supports transparency. This flexibility allows you to work with images stored locally or those already loaded into your project.
The border_ratio parameter is a float that determines the amount of border to be considered around the image during processing. The default value is 0.15, which means 15% of the image's border will be taken into account. This parameter is important for recentering the image and ensuring that the main content is properly aligned. Adjusting this value can impact how the image is resized and centered, which is particularly useful when dealing with images that have significant transparent areas around the edges.
The to_tensor parameter is a boolean that indicates whether the loaded image and its transparency mask should be converted into tensor format. By default, this is set to True, meaning the output will be in a format suitable for further processing in machine learning models or other computational tasks. If set to False, the image and mask will remain in their original array format. This option provides flexibility depending on the subsequent use of the image data.
The image output is the processed image with transparency preserved, returned in the specified format (tensor or array). This output is essential for further manipulation or integration into projects that require transparency, ensuring that the visual integrity of the image is maintained.
The mask output is a transparency mask that corresponds to the loaded image. This mask highlights the transparent areas of the image, allowing for precise control over how the image is used in compositions. The mask is particularly useful for tasks that involve blending or layering images, as it provides a clear delineation of the transparent regions.
