Hi there,

after compiling my plugin for r11.5 and using render instances i found that vd->lhit.GetPolygon() doesnt work with renderinstances (i guess thats just because of what renderinstances are).. is there a way to get something similar information from those renderinstances??

thanks,

ello

What do you mean with it doesn't work? Render instances give back the same polygon ID as the instanced object.

hi, sorry for being not precise enough.. I have a shader which is changing the color for every polygon.

i used this line:
LONG id = vd->lhit.GetPolygon();

it workes as long as i use normal instances but when i set the INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE for those instances, it doesnt work anymore.. all instances have the same colors for the according faces...

hope you understand

cheers,

Ah, ok. That is a limitation. Render instances point all to the same polygons.
