Common Controls
Settings tab
The Settings tab in the Inspector is common to all Shape nodes. These common controls are
described in detail at the end of this chapter in “The Common Controls” section.
sExpand
The sExpand node
The sExpand node is used to dilate or erode shapes. Like almost all Shape nodes, you can only view
the sExpand node’s results through a sRender node.
External Inputs
The following input appears on the node’s tile in the Node Editor.
– Input1: [orange, required] This input accepts the output of another shape node. This shape or
compound shape connected to this input is either eroded or dilated.
Basic Node Setup
The sExpand node takes a single input that is most often from a compound shape. However, it can be
used on single shapes like sStars and sNgons. The output of the sExpand can then be output to
another shape node or to a sRender node for viewing or compositing into the greater node tree.
Star and ellipse shapes combined in an sBoolean node, then output to an sExpand for dilating or eroding
