Cons (Transform) loses Billboard Pixel space attribute

Hi, there is a bug with Cons (Transform) if you attach a Billboard (Transform) to it with Pixel space set. It then loses the (kind of magic) attribute which lets objects be transformed pixel-wise. [image] The big quad to the right should actually appear just as the red pixel quad in the middle (it has the same Transform plugged into it). See attached patch if you want to play with that. As a related note: I still find it a little weird that some magic seem…

Switch (Transform Advanced) [vux] allows invalid frame loops

hi folks, please see the attached image. it explaines the bug on the basis of the help patch when linking the output of the affected node as input to other nodes which occur earlier in the process sequence. i think this should never be allowed for any other node than the framedelay, or at least not for this node! cheers, johannes [image]

This needs some proper rebuilding of how transforms are exposed to the plugin developer.

microdee is right. We allow a connection that we should not allow. But besides that, the node does evaluate in the moment it gets asked for data as it should.
