Jit.gl.multiple, or how to get rid of the original?
Just like the title says. Is there a way to hide the original gridshape when using jit.gl.mutliple? At first i thougt/hoped :) this would be some attribute-message to the jit.multiple or gridshape but in both helpfiles i couldn't find anything covering this. Any hints/tips? Thanks.

@automatic 0 doesnt appear to work with jit.gl.nurbs?
hi Ernest,
Don't seem to have a problem here ?
Hi Phol, thanks for following up. I worked through all the different parameters until I find, if needing to use jit.render to draw to a pwindow, then it works the multi object is directly connected to the nurbs object with a wire. If the nurbs object has a @targetname attribute, and the nurbs object has a @name attribute, as in the help example, it still draws the original. But if you dont want a jit.pwindow, so you can use the jit.world object instead of jit.gl.render, then you can use @targetname and @name attributes without a direct connection. Strange.
I also am a little confused about how to attach colors, shaders, and materials. It appears ambient_color only works if attached to nurbs, but for jit.gl.materials, some only work if attached to multiple, but others don't seem to work at all. Shaders have to be attached to multiple, but shader colors are attached to nurbs. And once I attach a material or shader, the original shows up again. My workaround is to set @anchor 0. 0. 50. on nurbs and set @far_clip 10., on jit.gl.render.
Maybe if you have another working example, I could clone something that works, because it could be something I am doing which doesnt work in the specific design, as above.
I presently am in a hurry to go in depth, but a quick insight on what I understand is that gl.multiple works like a poly~,
so if you want to include a shader , you have to include it in the @glparams . You probably knew that though.
Sorry, but come to think of it, i'm not exactly sure on what you're trying to obtain at this point :-)

got colors and textures working without transparency using glparams, thanks. Still working on materials and transparency :)
here is what i am working on
jit.gl.multiple sets @automatic 0 on it's target object when connecting via patchcord. if you connect via attributes, you have to set @automatic 0 explicitly on the target object.
for transparency with gl.material, check the following patch:
I'll try your material with a multi, thank you very much.
