I’m working on an ob3d external which needs to know some attributes of the
linked jit.gl.render. I currently give jit.gl.render a @name and then access
its attributes using findregistered. This works fine, but I have a feeling
there is a more direct way of doing this. So my question is, is there a way
to know, inside an ob3d object, what jit.gl.render object is used for
rendering, and retrieve an object pointer without using @name and
jit_object_findregistered()?

Thijs

t_jit_err my_ob3d_draw(my_ob3d *x)
{
if(! x->render) {
x->render = jit_object_method(x, gensym(“get_render_ptr”));
}
}

Hi Wes,

Thanks! That’s what I was hoping for.

Best,
