I'm working on getting depth of field to work with jit.gl.pass, and have encountered a problem when jit.gl.gridshape isn't located in the same patch as jit.gl.render, jit.gl.node, etc...

I've attached a couple of images to demonstrate the difference.

The patches are below - the "parent" is more a less a copy of jit.gl.pass's help file.

I'm not really worried about the difference in geometry - that can always be fixed with messages, but I can't seem to get the Depth of Field effect to work when the jit.gl.gridshape objects are in another patch.

Is this a bug, or am I just missing something fundamental about the rendering pipeline?

Well, I always seem to find the solution as soon as I post the question.

In this case, I simply needed to give my materials the appropriate render context - in this case the @name attribute of jit.gl.node in the parent patch.
