Using the Copy POP

Overview:

The Copy POP is a quick way to make many copies of your 3D geometry. The Copy POP can be used two different ways: by itself, or with a template POP.  Connecting a POP to only its first input allows you to specify the number of copies and their behavior on the Copy page. Note that the transformations applied on this page are cumulative. For example, if you connected a Circle POP to the first input of a Copy POP, set the number of copies to 10, and set the Translatex parameter to 1 – the first copy would be transformed down the x axis 1 unit, the second copy would be transformed down the x axis 2 units, and so on. 

You might also use a template when making copies. The template is the second input on a Copy POP and represents all of the data that will be used when making copies. This often includes Position. For example, if you connected a Circle POP to the first input of a Copy POP, and a Rectangle POP to the second input, you would end up with a circle being created at each of the corners of the rectangle. Templates can also include other attributes that can be used for rotation, scale, and other operations. A template can also transfer attributes to copies, which is often helpful for applying the color from a template point to the copy.
