Shared Mem Out COMP

Summary

NOTE

License: Only available in TouchDesigner Educational, TouchDesigner Commercial and TouchDesigner Pro.

The Shared Mem In TOP is only available in TouchDesigner Commercial and Pro.

The Shared Mem Out COMP will write transform data to a shared memory block. This memory block can be read by another Touch process using the Shared Mem In COMP.

sharedmemoutCOMP_Class

Parameters - Setup Page

Active active - Controls if this node cooks every frame or not.

Shared Mem Name name - The name of the memory block it writes to.

Parameters - Extensions Page

The Extensions parameter page sets the component's python extensions. Please see extensions for more information.

Re-Init Extensions reinitextensions - Recompile all extension objects. Normally extension objects are compiled only when they are referenced and their definitions have changed.

Extension Object 1 extension1 - A number of class instances that can be attached to the component.

Extension Name 1 extname1 - Optional name to search by, instead of the instance class name.

Promote Extension 1 promoteextension1 - Controls whether or not the extensions are visible directly at the component level, or must be accessed through the .ext member. Example: n.Somefunction vs n.ext.Somefunction

An Operator Family that creates, composites and modifies images, and reads/writes images and movies to/from files and the network. TOPs run on the graphics card's GPU.

An Operator Family that contains its own Network. There are sixteen 3D Object Component and ten 2D Panel Component types. See also Network Path.

Any component can be extended with its own Python classes which contain python functions and data.

The sub-Family of Component types that are used to render 3D scenes: a Geometry Component containing the 3D shapes to render, plus Camera, Light and other Component types. "Objects" also refers to Python objects.

An Operator Family which operate on Channels (a sequence of numbers (Samples)) which are used for animation, audio, mathematics, simulation, logic, UI construction, and data streamed from/to devices and protocols.
