Re: SDK : connecting an object to a matrix port on a shader

[Alok]

Sorry to jump in the conversation unawares but what are adding on to input port ? For me it has always worked if I add : customOp.AddInputPort(obj.Kinematics.Global) and later access it in the update callback by: xform =  ctxt.GetInputValue(0).Transform.Matrix4 and can then get each of 16 float values in a array by: xformArr = xform .Get2() On 10/09/2012 3:06 PM, Steven Caron wrote: i even changed it to ask for the input port by name... #     xform = ctxt.GetInputValue("InGlobal").GetTransform2("") # AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'GetTransform2' On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 11:53 AM, Steven Caron <car...@gmail.com> wrote: hey matt have you had any trouble where when you open a scene with a your custom operator in it, the inputport seems to be missing? it works fine initially. i have code that is failing because i am blindly assuming my first input, my only input, is always present and its failing. it says the input port is a 'float' and it doesn't have an a Transform attribute. I am using a single input of a global transform of an object, which i pull out the index i need based on the output port's name. any ideas why this doesn't persist? s No virus found in this message.
