Experimental:Skin POP

Summary

The Skin POP takes any 2-dimensional (or more) arrangement of data (for example three line strips of 20 point each) and connects them together as a mesh of triangles or quads.

See POP Dimension. - Dimension is a property of all POPs that you can see in the popup info for a POP. It defines a virtual arrangement of the points, most simply as rows and columns of points (that would be two dimensions) (It doesn't matter how they are connected). In this case the total number of points = numberOfRows * numberOfColumns.

You may see dimension 10 20 3 with a total of 600 points. If the input has three dimensions or more, it applies the skinning to the first two dimensions, and repeats that for all each higher dimension.

Instead you can manually force it to treat your specified number of primitives a group to skin, or every the set of Nth primitive as sets of primitives to skin.

If a channel name is not provided, it uses the names in their sequential order.
