Experimental:Switch POP

Summary

The Switch POP lets you choose one of the inputs, and outputs the input unchanged. The number of points, vertices and primitives of all of the inputs can be different.

It uses a numeric parameter, Index, to choose the input, with 0 referring to the first input. If Index is fractional - a non-integer, it can blend two inputs: If the inputs have the same number of points, vertices and primitives, they can be blended, two adjacent inputs at a time.

Tip: Since it blends only adjacent inputs (input N with input N+1 or N-1), to blend from the last input to the first input, attach the first input again as the last input, and use CHOPs to loop from 0 to number-of-inputs snap back to 0 when Index reaches number-of-inputs.

If Index is out of range, it clamps.

See the Blend POP to blend arbitrary combinations of inputs.

The Switch POP's architecture for handling multiple inputs is similar to the Attribute Combine POP.

Common POP Info Channels

Common Operator Info Channels

• total_cooks - Number of times the operator has cooked since the process started.

• cook_time - Duration of the last cook in milliseconds.

• cook_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the component timeline.

• cook_abs_frame - Frame number when this operator was last cooked relative to the absolute time.

• cook_start_time - Time in milliseconds at which the operator started cooking in the frame it was cooked.

• cook_end_time - Time in milliseconds at which the operator finished cooking in the frame it was cooked.

• cooked_this_frame - 1 if operator was cooked this frame.

• warnings - Number of warnings in this operator if any.
