Hello

I try to use the MRenderUtil::renderObjectItem but I don't understand, how to use this function. I access the objectId while softwareRendering with this code:


--initialize--
aObjectId=nAttr.create("objectId","oi",MFnNumericData::kInt,0.0,&stat);

--compute--
MDataHandle aObjectIdHandle=data.inputValue(aObjectId,&stat);



I use kInt, cause the docs tell us:

objectId (oi) int unique ID for the object being shaded, may not be the same ID across frames

now, I want to get access to the corresponding MObject to my object Id. For this, i want to use MRenderUtil::renderObjectItem but unfortunately, this function doesn't expect a int value as objectId, but a const void* parameter. In fact, I have no idea, what type of parameter this function expects. Any ideas?

Best
