Hey!
Something that bugged me the whole night are soft copies that are
created of nodes. These nodes are instances of the same op that, as far
as i understood, are used to work on different frames at the same time.
I can observe many instances of these are created. My Node, as it has
more internal data calculated than what i have in the knobs, is reacting
on that by checking if this == firstOp(), which works very well.
However, i just wonder how they work exactly. Here's my further
understanding:
It is a new instance with the same name of my node that is not visible
in the UI. It shares the same data that is defined in the knobs. They
operate on the same data set as defined in the knobs. If there is
additional data in your plugin (which is very likely the case for more
advanced stuff) the developer need to take care of this and probably has
to share up-to-date data between those ops.
Please correct me if i'm wrong here.
Now, where i'm not quite sure is how they might get called. Is it
possible that e.g. engine() is called for instance 0 and instance 1 at
the same time? How is the exact threading behavior? I just want to make
things bomb-proof :)
Thanks,
Thomas
