Hi all

Some sops have the ability to use point color ('$CR' for example), as per point ‘weight’ or scale.
I can't find a way to do this with the Transform-node.
Being able to use this would result in a sort of paintable mask for the transform.

Is there someone who could tell me if this is possible or if there is a much more convenient/efficient/natural way to do this?

Thanks

If you just wanted a blendshape-style mix based on color, you could paint your weights, perform the transform to put the entire mesh into the fully-transformed target position, and then wire this into a Wrangle with the un-transformed mesh plugged into the second input. The Wrangle's VEX code would just be this:

If you wanted to have blended rotations, you would have to do things slightly differently, perhaps by specifying a rotation, converting to a quaternion, interpolating using the slerp() function, and then rotating the point by the resulting quaternion. Depending on your overall goal, that might be overkill, though.

Hi James

Thank you very much for your answer. This works like a charm and gives me as a bonus an extra entry in the vex realm. Rotation is not an issue (on the moment). I use it as another method of softtransform for modeling.
