Merge

Summary

Merge combines multiple POPX geometry streams into a single unified output. This operator is essential for bringing together separate geometry branches in your POPX network, allowing you to process multiple sources as one cohesive stream.

The operator supports multiple inputs that can be dynamically added or removed as needed. Each input accepts POPX Geometry, preserving all attributes, groups, and instance data from the source streams. This makes it easy to combine different geometry types, falloff patterns, or modified branches into a single output for downstream operators.

Merge is commonly used to combine results from parallel processing chains, bring together different geometry variations, or consolidate multiple instance sources before applying unified transformations or effects. All input geometry is preserved without modification, maintaining the integrity of attributes and relationships from each source.

Parameters

Page: Merge

In POP(s) Pop – Sequence of POPX Geometry inputs to merge. Click + to add more inputs, - to remove.

Page: Common

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 – Toggles rendering of POPX Geometry or shows it as point instances only.
SRT / RST Srtrst – Sets the transform order when using POPX Geometry as built-in TouchDesigner instances.

Inputs

The number of input connectors is automatically linked to the In POP(s) sequential parameter. Increasing the number of POP blocks will create corresponding geometry inputs. Removing a block will remove its input.

Input 0 POP – POPX/POP Geometry 1
Input 1 POP – POPX/POP Geometry 2

Outputs

Output 0 POP – POPX_out1
