Default value: 10.00 Minimum: 0.00 Maximum: 0.00 Slider minimum: 0.50 Slider maximum: 200.00 Identity: 0.00
The height field is defined to have greater heights with lighter shades, and lesser heights (lower areas) with darker shades. You can combine this filter with the CIHeightFieldFromMask filter to produce quick shadings of masks, such as text.
This filter sets the input image as a height-field (multiplied by the scale parameter), and computes a normal vector for each pixel. It then uses that normal vector to look up the reflected color for that direction in the input shading image.
The input shading image contains the picture of a hemisphere, which defines the way the surface is shaded. The look-up coordinate for a normal vector is:
(normal.xy + 1.0) * 0.5 * vec2(shadingImageWidth, shadingImageHeight)

A CIImage class whose display name is Image.
A CIImage class whose display name is Background Image.
If the source image sample color is lighter than 50% gray, the background is lightened, similar to dodging. If the source image sample color is darker than 50% gray, the background is darkened, similar to burning. If the source image sample color is equal to 50% gray, the background is not changed. Image samples that are equal to pure black or pure white produce darker or lighter areas, but do not result in pure black or white. The overall effect is similar to what you would achieve by shining a diffuse spotlight on the source image.
