Hello. Serious question to you guys. Any ideas how to slice image into 9 blocks, let’s say array 3x3 horizontal/vertical, and do have possiblity to send every slice to new separate top?
One potential way to do it is with crops and arithmetic in the Crop TOPs’ parameters
attached example

it is something interesting, but is there an way to keep it at original location and keep bg transparent ? so its work simpler when merging together in comp chop - without scaling then? layout chop seems buggy in my version.
I don’t understand what you mean by this.
Crop TOP doesn’t change the BG.
Crop doesn’t scale, just crops. Use middle mouse button to see dimensions of any TOP.
Layout is a TOP not a CHOP. It’s probably not buggy. Have you read the documentation?
Feel free to post a file for us to look at.
@Tobek I recommend checking out the Splitter component in the Palette
Makes it easy to divide up any input image into more easily formatted configs for any different grid/row/column output. Read the docs to learn how it works in conjuction with kantanUVhelper.
It doesn’t create separate TOPs per se, but you can lay them out in any configuration making the cropping more simple if you do need separate TOPs for something. Note, you wouldn’t want to do separate TOPs for output anyways if you can get it directly into the Container COMPs that are assigned to your displays, that would be unneccessary overhead.
