no the transform object is a node and the transfobj.xform is a port not the xform value this is an essential difference.

Pose difference on skeleton in APEX May 13, 2025, 5:36 p.m.
are you after something like this?
having only a matrix multiplication with the pre calculated offset is even cheaper. And fast rigs make the animator a lot more happy It allosw partial evaluation to kick in better and only update tha matrices it needs.
I would definitely not recommend to have stashes in your rig, that can easiliy slow things down! If you really want to read from geometry then add the Geo as an input to your rig, that will be always a lot faster and also a lot easier to maintain than the stash.
