gridClone

RayTK

v0.41

Repeats an SDF in a grid arrangement, combining the results.

It’s important to remember that this operator performs the work of its input once for each clone. That means that a 3x3 grid does 27 times the work of the input.

The modulo3D (or modulo1D/modulo2D) can be a cheaper alternative to gridClone with some limitations.

Parameters

Name	Description	Regular Handling	Read-Only Handling
Enable
Count	The number of copies. The performance cost of the input is multiplied by this number.	Runtime	Semi-Baked
Center	Center position of the grid.	Runtime	Baked
Size	Size of the grid on each axis.	Runtime	Baked
Merge Type	How to merge the copies.	Semi-Baked	Semi-Baked
Simple Union: Simple Intersect: Simple Difference: Smooth Union: Smooth Intersect: Smooth Difference: Round Union: Round Intersect: Round Difference: Chamfer Union: Chamfer Intersect: Chamfer Difference: Stair Union: Stair Intersect: Stair Difference: Column Union: Column Intersect: Column Difference: Simple XOR:
Merge Radius	The amount of smoothing to apply when merging copies.
Merge Number
Merge Offset
