Hey Koichi!

I have a quick question about how you get the color values in your plugin...I wrote a plugin awhile ago for doing some deformations using color from an image but the only way I found I could evaluate the color of the image at the given U,V space was to use MRenderUtil::sampleShadingNetwork

I would much prefer being able to use the color input directly somehow, I was wondering how you grab the color information in your particle node that you wrote...Really great stuff here! Thanks again!

Hi tony,

> Really great stuff here!
Cheers!

I used MRenderUtil::sampleShadingNetwork() too. I'll give you the source if you like.

By the way, if you happen know a company which could be interested in hiring me please let me know!

Hey mate, im writing a similar node of the color sampler. Im also using MRenderUtil:sampleShadingNetwork.
But it seems im not able to get my node to sample.

Could you be so kind to share the sampling part of the code if its ok with you?

Thanks!
