@ Alessandro, A structure output will only connect to structure or virtual, so you can't just connect it to a Billboard, or 3D transform, you need to place that extra structure index, key or count, which isn't horrible, but what I believe Mehmet is referring to.
Vade, that is an excellent reminder about the Log patch. I will be interested to see if it handles mesh and also what happens if one plugs in an interaction port. I usually keep a virtual splitter and 3D transform, as I've found it can handle any type of data type I've thrown at it, 3rd party as well. -GT On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 3:11 PM, Alessandro Sabatelli <[email protected]> wrote: > You can connect to the enable port of any consumer.
