Hello all, I’m attempting to emulate a "Smack" of Comb Jelly fish- because they are cool * QED.

To that end i’m attempting to animate the shape of several spheres (using jit.gl.multiple) and have them be semi transparent with color animations along their edges.

My thought is to warp the a sphere shape using jit.gl.mesh as is displayed in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzQOiwMkESU by the amazing Andrew.

As you can see a mesh is being fed by a gridshape. That obviously works. 

The issue arrises when i try to create several of the forms using jit.gl.multiple. I’m not seeing any shapes when I add a jit.gl.multiple. Please see attached code.

looks like jit.gl.multiple is drawing to the wrong context:

YES!!! Thank you. That name, target, context is a bear.

Thanks a bunch Matteo! I'm hoping to apply a transparent layer to the spheres you fixed, would you suggest jit.gl.material or jit.gl.pbr. or something else? I'm hoping to wrap these shapes in some blinking noise like this. https://cycling74.com/forums/blend-mode-alpha-jit-gl-texture

See rob's solution. Does that seem like a reasonably elegant approach?

Hey Enki, you should be able to just apply a texture to the spheres like this:
