merge_meshes
This is an internal node that does not normally appear in the Tab menu or Node Library. Internal nodes are not intended to be used directly in graphs, but instead are used to implement more user-friendly compounds. You can make internal nodes available by setting the environment variable BIFROST_DISABLE to hide-internal-nodes before launching Bifrost's host application, but be aware that graphs and custom compounds that use internal nodes may break in future versions.
Inputs
geometry
The geometries to merge together. Objects that are not valid meshes are ignored.
properties
The names of geo properties to transfer to the new geometry, such as point_color. Make sure to include all geo properties that you want, including those that target components other than faces (such as points and face-vertices). Properties that are not geo properties are always transferred.
- Separate multiple geo property names with spaces.
- You can use the wildcard
*in expressions, for example,point_user*to transfer all geo properties that begin with the string "point_user". - The default value
*transfers all geo properties. - Use an empty string to prevent any geo properties from being transferred, except for those that are required by meshes (
point_position,face_offset, andface_vertex). - Use a
*followed by a!to exclude a property. For example* !point_user*includes all properties, except ones that begin with the string "point_user"
point_collections
Prefix for generating collections per input geometry. If an empty string is passed in, no collections are generated in the merged geometry.
face_collections
Prefix for generating collections per input geometry. If an empty string is passed in, no collections are generated in the merged geometry.
Outputs
merged_meshes
The result of merging all of the inputs together.
