I am building a vertex crawler which outputs only a subset of a model's verts. My first project in Max 7, jit.gl.mesh is behaving better than ever!

My question is how to accomplish the orange area within gen. I need to be comparing the entire first 3 planes, not each cell xyz position. What is the best way to do that?

Ok, so is there not really a good way to normalize an entire plane with parallel processing???

The use of jit.submatrix instead of gen took out a huge bottleneck from gen outputting the full dimensions of the model. now to use gen on the down-sampled verts:)

jit.normalize is not a naturally parallel operation -- it depends on traversing the space twice (once to find the min/max, once more to scale each cell).

The normalize operator in jit.gen applies to a single cell's planes, not across the matrix. (And is normalization in the geometric sense: square root of the sum of the squares).

Also I'm not sure if what you are trying to do will work for gen. In jit.gen, the dimensions of the output matrix will always match the dimensions of the input matrix. The patcher is defining an algorithm that will operate per cell. The behaviour of objects is more like MSP than Max, so a closed [gate] in jit.gen will output zero (rather than not outputting at all). Which is to say, your patcher is not removing vertices, it is setting them to zero.

Makes a lot of sense, thanks for the explanation.
