PDG 101 – Pt.18: The Top Geometry SOP
Added 2021-09-09 14:49:19 +0000 UTCChris is back with the final (regularly scheduled) episode of PDG101! And this seasons finale is all about the Top Geometry SOP. A node that gives you quick access to top nodes inside SOPs and that can be really handy, if you’re handing setups to other, less PDG-savvy people.
Comments
One more reason for using TOPS instead of for loop is access to farm. If you have farm, with deadline scheduler this process can be run on several machines in parallel.
