pop File Format

The .pop File Type ix a native POP file format that is an exact lossless representation of a POP's output.

A .pop file preserves all primitive types, attributes, Groups and Dimension.

It is created with the File Out POP or by right-clicking a POP node and selecting Save Geometry. It is read into TouchDesigner with a File In POP.

Drag-drop the file to a network to create a File In POP. You can rclick Open With... on the file from the desktop or your file browser.

Locking POPsedit

A POP operator can be locked like other operators (with the Lock Flag on the node), which freezes the content in memory. It gets included in the project .toe file when saved. It is saved within .toe and .tox files in the exact same format as a .pop file. Be careful - like with TOPs, locking POPs can make .toe files very large.
