Geometry Import TOP, how to process in batch?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I was stumped last saturday on how to make the geometry import TOP to just process 1 work  item at a time.

Im doing some particle advection workflow, where i made multiple sourcing variation to fill the gaps so it renders smooth.

but after I finished the wedges for the fillers, I made a partition from frames then feed it to geometry Import to merge the partition contents to one geometry per frame before feeding

it to a mantra TOP, howerver, the processing  in geometry import TOP are starting 8 workitems simultaneusly, right on the bat, which means 8 frames of every wedge i got, i got 10 million particles per wedge per frame.

I would rather have it to process 1 partition at a time instead, like how geometry output TOP does when in batch mode.

 PS I already setup my scheduler to single and 1 slot per workitem. I even added the local parm single, like what mantra TOP has by default, and I'm also on houdini 18.5 at work. 

anyone can shed me some hope please.
