I once had to debug a Ventuz scene and needed to visualize the outputs of some Damper nodes to find some discontinuities.
As Ventuz is a visualization software I thought it should be possible to draw some graphs.
Unfortunately it’s not that easy – the existing Graph nodes did not match my requirements. Then I remembered a ‘trick’ which Ralf showed me: recursive rendering on Rendertargets.
After some experiments I managed to build a Hierarchy Container which works like an oscilloscope.
I think this node can be pretty handy if you have to debug your scene. There are still some issues: e.g. it does not work with too small resolutions.
Here is a small demo scene with the ‘Plotter’ node: http://inside.ventuz.com/wp-content/uploads/Plotter.vzs
I hope it can help you.
