Pass variable from frameSetup to render

[JamesWhiffin555]

I’d like to send some values from frameSetup to render, so I created a refcon in EntryPointFunc and passed it to frameSetup and render functions.

I modify the refcon values in frameSetup, though for some reason the values go back to default by the time the render function receives it.

This may be a totally incorrect way of doing things and if so, could someone please tell me the right way to send a value from frameSetup to render? I could use a global variable but I assume that would be heresy.

Hi!

the easiest is to store it into sequence data. Sequence data is unique for each instance of the effect, and you shouldn't get any trouble with UI thread as you want to call it from FrameSetup and Render.

Hope it helps,

Ah thanks Francois, I remember gamma table doing this! I'll give it a crack.
