How do you access the deformed mesh? Usally you have to perform a Current State To Object to obtain the deformed mesh.

I am using this:

  
//get the linked object  
BaseObject* baseMesh = ToPoly((PolygonObject* )(bc->GetLink(BASEMESH,doc)));  
PolygonObject* cloneOfBase = NULL;  
if (baseMesh->GetType()==Opolygon || baseMesh->GetType()==Opoint)  
{  
cloneOfBase = static_cast<PolygonObject*>(baseMesh->GetClone(0, NULL));  
}  
else  
{          
cloneOfBase = op->GetAndCheckHierarchyClone(hh,baseMesh,HCLONE_ASPOLY,&dirty,NULL,FALSE);

You can't simply use the PolygonObject. You must first perform a Current State To Object. This is done with SendModelingCommand(). GetAndCheckHierarchyClone() on the other hand should take care of it when the linke dobject is not a polygon object. Does it work if the linked object is not a polygon object and deformed by a deformer?

yes, it works.. but with joints you need to have a polygon object. so i need to use currentstate to object.. i'll try it out

thank you for the hint

Hi, I got it working. However, i have now a memory leak and i dont know what i need to free?
Using MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT returns an AtomArray and the SDK tells me that i need to free it afterwards. GeFree seems not to work here..

thanks for your input..

Another similar problem occurs when i clone objects that are animated by joints.
how can i clone objects which are animated by joints and apply positions and rotations to them??
do i need to use MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT in this case, too? this could get performance hungry for a bunch of clones...

thanks for any further input.

Yes, you need to use MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT in this case too. Whenever you need to access the deformed mesh you have to use MCOMMAND_CURRENTSTATETOOBJECT, at least in cases where you can't be sure that all caches are build. This is the case in GetVirtualObjects().
