Thank you so much! This explanation was incredibly helpful.

By the way, I bought your tutorial a while ago, and it was excellent! I really appreciated the in-depth focus on optimization. Just out of curiosity, do you have any plans for a Volume 2?

Hi Animatrix,

Thank you for your quick response! I didn’t realize Inline is the older option. Are there any downsides besides the use of ch() expressions? The documentation doesn’t seem to go into much detail about this.

I use Inline for its convenience with input and output management. It allows me to have one input, "P," and multiple outputs, which feels more intuitive. However, as I mentioned, many aspects aren’t entirely clear, and I’m wondering if there is an ideal use case for each approach.

I have another question: Isn't a wrangle essentially a VOP with a snippet inside (well before H19 anyway)? How does it manage to propagate ch() with better performance? Also, did the wrangle HDA change (Attribute Wrangle Core)? Was that related?

Haha, here we go... down the rabbit hole!

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

Is it possible to use ch() expressions in any capacity inside VOPs? Ideally, inside an `Inline Code VOP` node, instead of creating a bunch of inputs. I tried multiple approaches in both nodes, but had no luck.

I found some mentions in the documentation for the Snippet VOP node but it didn't work or i missing something:

You can use the VEX function ch to evaluate parameters. The path is relative to this node (ch("parm") will evaluate the parameter parm on this node). This evaluation will be done at the current time.

Thanks!
