Merge

tools/merge·v1.5.1

IN:2 OUT:1

SUMMARY

Merge concatenates the packed points of its inputs in order, renumbers their instance ids across the merged stream and merges the rendered pieces of every input with matching ids, so downstream modifiers move every piece as one stream. The Inputs sequence sets the number of inputs, each either wired or taken from the POP named in its block.

Plain POPs can be merged alongside POPX Geometry. The output follows the first input's POPX mode and instancing method, and with TouchDesigner instancing each instance slot uses the first input's object. Use it to join parallel branches, such as different instancers, before applying shared modifiers.

PARAMETERS

PAGEMerge

Inputs	Inputs	Number of inputs to merge. Each block is one input, either wired or set in In POP(s).
In POP(s)	Inputs0pop	A reference to a POP to merge when this input is not wired.
In POP(s)	Inputs1pop	A reference to a POP to merge when this input is not wired.

PAGECommon

Bypass	Bypass	Pass through the first input to the output unchanged.
Free Extra GPU Memory	Freeextragpumem	Free memory that has accumulated when output memory has grown and shrunk.
Render Primitives	Renderprimitives	Whether to render the full POPX geometry. When off, only point instances are drawn.
Convert to Point Primitives	Converttoptprim	Enable converting points to point primitives when Render Primitives is off.
SRT / RST	Srtrst	Sets the transform order, SRT or RST, used when the points are rendered as TouchDesigner instances.
