linearClone

RayTK

v0.42

Repeats an SDF along a line, combining the results.

Note that this multiplies the work of the input for each clone, meaning that 4 clones means 4x the work of whatever is connected to the input.

The modulo1D can be a cheaper alternative to linearClone though it comes with limitations.
