Renders one of several inputs.
The Switch ROP controls render dependency flow by selecting one input to render. The index may be animated.
Switch is often used to select one of several similar renders such as a fast preview render or a final, detailed render. It can also be used to dynamically lock a branch by selecting the branch, or no input).
Note
Bypassing a switch causes all input dependencies to be passed through to its outputs.
Tip
To render none of the inputs, use a number that doesn’t correspond to any input such as -1 or 10000.
