FIXED: TOPs parameter for GLSL (multi) TOP

[Achim]

It would be great if you could also specify inputs for the GLSL (multi) TOP via a parameter that can hold a list of ops (similar to the join CHOP, merge DAT, …)

The current workflow with select TOPs and wiring them to the GLSL multi TOP works, but when dealing with a dynamic number of inputs for the glsl TOP this becomes very cumbersome

I’d like to loudly x2 this one, many workflows have shifted to TOPs + compute shaders to maintain high performance and it is highly desirable to have the same tools here.

Hey @r-ssek

It’s added to experimental 2023.10k branch.

FIXED: Parameter to provide variable number of inputs to GLSL Multi TOP

It would be useful to have a string parameter on GLSL Multi TOP that can be used to specify a list of TOPs to use as inputs, similar to what Composite TOP and Merge DAT have. The RayTK library is based around a component that generates and runs a shader. Within that there’s a generated table of TOP input sources, which has a variable length. Currently it’s using a DAT Execute to connect and disconnect a series of Select TOPs based on how many are needed. It sort of works but there are sometimes…

Best,
Michel

Somehow missed the other topic and the release notes , thanks!
