@BabaJ, ok, thanks for your answer
@ObeidaZakzak ... ohh good to know, thanks a lot!
I also recommend using the Bindings tab if you can, as using any of the point/prim/vertex functions, you will take a severe performance hit over direct attribute binding, even if you are just reading from the current element.
A lot of people in production are not aware of this.
I've never done performance tests for this, but how much slower is it? I think few people know about this feature because few people talk about it at all in their lessons. It is easier for artists to call the appropriate function.
VEX: Is there a short way to specify return type of point()? April 20, 2024, 12:42 p.m.
There really is a difference between them, the first form of vector() is essentially a constructor for creating an object of type vector, the second entry of the form (vector) performs an implicit type cast to a vector, which will not work in this expression since we need to explicitly indicate what type it returns point function.
