Get Object Transform in VOPs of Object

[Anti-Distinctlyminty]

Hi all,

I'm coming from Lightwave and, as you can see in the attached image, when shading I can have a node that refers to the current item (Item: Self) and get supplied various bits of information about that item.

Any idea how this would be done in VOPs?

I don't have much experience with shading myself, but I do stuff with VOPs in Surface Operators.

you can import geometry attributes in VOPs: point, vertex, primitive and detail

If you have a multiple geometry nodes, you could store this kind of information in the detail attributes in the geometry and access it in the shader that way
Detail Attributes have one single value for the entire geometry. If you want information for parts withIN the geometry, you may need import point, vertex or primitive attributes instead.

However, you can also "Bind" attributes (especially point, vertex and primitive) that way it will automatically get the correct data from the right point, vertex or primitive to the right pixel,
or at least for int, float and vector attributes. This doesn't really work for strings or array attributes.

Hope that helps.
