I' cant find any info about this in the archives and I'm really stuck.

I want to process my mesh with some jit.gl.slab shaders and then pass everything into a videoplane, but I cant find the way to put all the content from my mesh into a matrix. Matrixoutput doesn't work for jit.gl.mesh..

mesh-into-matrix

try [jit.gl.asyncread.] then feed the output matrix again into a jit.gl.slab

mmm, one little issue.. I'm processing the mesh with slab and then I pass everything inside a videoplane, but the original mesh is still visible and if I turn automatic to 0 (on the mesh) I get a black screen..

here is a small example patch to show what I mean, if I put the mesh to automatic 0 the output of the videoplane also disappears.

sure I'm missing something.

while your method does work, you really only want to readback opengl to a matrix if you want to do further matrix processing or recording to disk.

the "proper" way to do what you've described is to capture to texture with the @capture attribute on your gl.mesh.

here's your patch modified to demonstrate capturing to texture. it will be much more efficient than using asyncread.

Robert - thanks for this example. Any reason why @capture is not documented in the help or reference files for jit.gl.mesh or the generic OB3D?

none i can think of. thanks for the report.
