Barycentric coordinates in Custom Expression Node

[francois85]

Hello,

Im wondering if someone can help me with the Custom Expression Node. Im not sure why it is not working. Basically Im trying to use it to blend 3 textures together inside a given triangle.

Im my example I broke it down the the smallest components possible.I pass the 3 points of my triangle (a,b,c) and p (vertex position node). I calculate the barycentric coordinates(u, v, w). Then I check if p is inside my triangle by making sure the sum of u+v+w is <=1 (image has typo of * but I use +). If true I return the desired blend weigh (u,v,w) to a Weighted Blend node and a texture index to my texture array.

Im not seeing any affect, I would expect my triangle to have a different color than the surrounding triangles and have a gradient blend.

Please help I not sure if the Nodes are used correctly

Ive narrowed it down to the Custom Expression Node. Either its a bug or I have it setup wrong. In the setup below I try and return a float3 to the summed blend node weight and it renders black but when I connect the same values through a vector it works. Im I doing something wrong in the expression?

Hey there!

From what I can tell by the screenshots you've shared, you'll need to specify the type of the values you're assigning to the variables.

Please consider the example shared below:



In this example, I'm declaring a variable within the function's scope, "myVector", which will be returned through the Out port, and a I'm initializing the custom Out0 output as a different value.

Please let me know if this helps, thanks!

Very helpful as alway thanks for the reply. I got confuse when the out mode created an input plug but your help got me back on track

Awesome tool love the power it give
