Is there a way to plot attribute values on a graph? Sept. 17, 2024, 10:38 a.m.

Whoa wait what - how? How do you render geometry to an image and import it as an image in the network view? Is this a live connection, or has a static image been rendered out and is just imported to the network view?

6 degree of freedom Mouse3D CHOPs network March 9, 2023, 5:40 p.m.

Leaving some breadcrumbs here for future 3d mouse users ... this network seems to do the trick. I'm no CHOPs expert, so I still need to figure out where I'm creating redundancy that makes things lag and my wrangle VEX code is a little dodgy. But I now have a full 6 degree-of-freedom continuous transformation from local coordinates flight simulator-style camera navigation.

Hat tip to this tutorial which helped me a lot with managing transforms: https://vimeo.com/307156961 [vimeo.com]
