I'm getting a box by connecting the output of a previous geometry on its imput.. (therefore a bouding box).. middle click on box node shows me sizex,y,z as their real size.. while parameters shows me (greyed as they should be) 1,1,1… the problem comes when I want to get its channel from another SOP .. which takes 1,1,1 instead of real values… I'm a wrong or this is a bug?

this also happen with bound SOP.


cheers

Those parameters are just being disabled and don't have the correct bounding values stored in them.

You can use the bbox() expression instead of ch() to fetch the bounding info.

If you use the bbox() expression, do you really still need the Bound SOP?

No, but everyone likes a nice visual cue.

true, but maybe it might be nice to have parms on the box or bound sop that go un-greyed when using to determine a bound so you can just easily ch ref them.. then again, using a bbox() isn't really that much harder to type up than a ch().. but it could also be nice to have them there so you can keep an eye out on the values for certain purposes.. i know i wouldn't mind seeing the values as easy as selecting the node and checking out it's parms..

thanks.. yeah i'm now using the bbox expression.. was just missing that (read.. forgetting) ..

btw i'm now showing bounding boxes anyway.. for viewport speed reasons.. that's why i was trying to fetch data from there.


cheers.

We all know that if looks simpler, the computer must be doing less work right?
