[C++] Setting a transform node as an input to a custom deformer node.

[Cameron Fulton]

Hi all,

So I'm making a custom deform node in C++ and ran into something that I'm a bit stuck on.
Basically, I want a input that is a group node. Here's how it needs to act.

• Connect group node as input to Deformer
• In compute, deformer gets children of group and gets the transforms of each child
• When a childs transform is change, run compute.

The only problem is I don't know the best way to go about doing that. Would it be better for me to make my input a list of kDouble3 and just connect each child? Or is there a better way of solving this....

Thanks in advance,
Cameron

You should connect the worldMatrix of each child to the deformer.

Yeah, thats what I ended up doing and it works perfectly. I was just over thinking it with the group node thing. Thanks for the reply!
