The sGrid node
The sGrid node replicates the shape on an X and Y grid and adds the ability to offset the rows and columns. Like almost all Shape nodes, you can only view the sGrid node’s results through a sRender node.
External Inputs
The following input appears on the node’s tile in the Node Editor.
— Input1: [orange, required] This input accepts the output of another Shape node. The shape connected to this input is replicated on a custom grid.
Basic Node Setup
The sGrid node takes a single input from a single or compound shape from am sMerge or sBoolean node. The sGrid node places the incoming shape on a grid of rows and columns. The output of the sGrid can then be output to another Shape node or a sRender node for viewing or compositing into the greater node tree.
