Hello,I have a channel shader and I would like it to store some custom data that is not freed over the whole rendering (means allocated in InitRender on first rendered frame and then only freed on destruction, not in FreeRender).
This is no problem, but I would like to be able to read & write this custom data in the Output() function. Doing so somehow results in the custom data being corrupted and not containing the values I have set during Output() call.
So my question is, is this possible at all or does the channel shader pipeline doesn´t allow permanent class members?
Or is it only the writing of the data in the Output function making it not work (reading shouldn´t be the problem), due to maybe MP Threading of the function or whatever other reason?Thanks in advance for any info

Wouldn't that be problematic anyway, for instance you have the material preview and stuff interfering. I think best way would be probably to store the data in a videopost.
cheers,

There is a quite big pipeline involved which makes sure that the custom data is only allocated when it indeed needs to be, so this shouldn´t pose a problem, but I´ll try the videopost way. This sounds much more logical.
Thank you!
