Is there a way of getting a polygon's position after it has been modified by a mograph deformer (in this case a displace deformer)? Is it accessible through GeGetMoData?

On a semi-related issue, is there documentation for GeGetMoData? There is no reference to it in the HTML 12 documentation.

Ok, is there an xpresso node that I can get the data from to feed into a coffee node?

And I've seen someone use parameters with GeMoData but I can't find any reference. Anyone?

I know this is an old thread but is there any documentation for MoData methods/properties?

This is doable using the CoffeeEffector.

main(doc,op)  
{  
  var md = GeGetMoData(op);  
  if (!md) return false;  
  var cnt = md->GetCount();  
  var marr = md->GetArray(MODATA_MATRIX);  
  var fall = md->GetFalloffs();  
  
  var obj = md->GetGenerator();  
  if (!obj) return false;  
  
  var mg = obj->GetMg();// gets the global position of obj  
       
   var i = 0;  
  for (i = cnt - 1; i >= 0; --i)  
  {  
      var pos = marr[1]->GetV0();// Get the global position of this specific clone  
      pos = mg->GetMulP(pos); //pos is the global position  
  
      println(pos);  
  }  
  
  md->SetArray(MODATA_MATRIX, marr, true);  
  return true;  
}

If you then add a step effector and set it to change position. To change the second clone's position. You'll see the coffee effector keeps tabs of it's global position.
Just make sure the step effector is listed first in the cloner's list of effectors.

For the present please refer to the C++ docs. Basic functionality of the ModData class is identical with COFFEE. The COFFEE docs have to be updated accordingly.
