Hi there,

i am facing a problem for quite a while now, not being able to solve. I have a generator plugin and a channelshader plugin, where i want to use the generated objects position to get represented by some color value.

if the child object is a PolygonObject it works like i want it, but if it is a parametric object, for example a cube, it doesnt work. i tried ToPoly, static_cast<PolygonObject*> but this doesnt help..

\>  parent = static_cast<PointObject*>(robj->link);  
\>  tempVec = parent->GetPos()  
\>  ...

`

any ideas?
i tried this, too, but it just crashes cinema
parent = static_cast <PolygonObject*>((robj->link)->GetClone(0L,NULL));

thanks for your help,
cheers,

ok, i managed to get this working, by using the objects Matrix.off instead of its position..
