Hi!

If I've made a matrix in vex, how can I get the Translate Rotate and Scale values to use in a Geo Node?

As far as I understand, VEX is modifications in SOP, i.e., within the object. But you want transformations of the object itself. I think using VEX is ideologically wrong. It's like trying to pull yourself out of a swamp by the ear.
If you want to take transformations from a specific point for an object, then a rivet node at the object level is probably best.

cracktransform() function.

Fantastic, the cracktransform does exactly what I need! thanks, Babaj!

For anybody looking into this, here's my example. I had a matrix (4@m) on a point and needed the rotation value (v@r). I did this in a point wrangle:


...and to apply it to do the rotation on my Light, I used this in each rotation channels:
