Switch render node

Renders one of several inputs.

All

Parameters

Local variables

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 (like -1 or 10000).

Parameters

Render	Begins the render with the last render control settings.
Render Control	Opens the render control dialog to allow adjustments of the render parameters before rendering.
Render with Take	Uses the settings in a particular take while rendering. Choose “Current” to use the current take when rendering.
Input Index	Specifies the input to select, starting at 0.

Local variables

N	Frame being rendered.
NRENDER	Total number of frames being rendered.
