Hi, 

We're really close to releasing the debugged Volvox, where this bug should not happen. You're always free to go with the expression... the truth is you can write any code for the expression which is one line of code and returns double (and doesn't use any other libraries than system).

Best,

Mateusz

Great news, just saw the add data working, from the other post.!

what would be a one liner expresion for this case of getting Hue and then culling? (if there is any).

sorry my code skills are in an infant state.

cheers.

hm...  while it seems the hue equation could be done with a one huge line of code:

(its possible to merge this code to one line, srsly).

...you might just want to wait a bit for new volvox. I will make another Expression component where you can actually code with more than one line.

luminance could be done i guess that way :

((max(max(r, g), b) + min(min(r, g), b)) / 2)/255

this gives the values in 0 to 1 domain.

i see, thank you again for the help.

i got discouraged, because i tried using max and floor,before asking, but failed. i guess i did not write em correctly.

will try this again. i am wrapping up the whole thing for delivery.

will wait for the update, to improve the definition.

this plugin combined with anemone opens up lots of possibilities for what i am searching lately.

keep it coming!

cheers
