Is there a way to get a polygon's position (a,b,c,d) if it is being deformed by a mograph deformer (in my case, the displace deformer) with COFFEE? I can get the position in its idle/neutral state but not the deformed value.

If I can't do it with COFFEE, can I with an xpresso node?

XPresso is the easiest approach. The Polygon node has a Use Deformed Points option. When this is enabled it will output the positions of the deformed polygon centre and the individual points.

Thanks. I'm re-structuring my whole script to fit around the xpreso nodes that have that check box. Seems silly there isn't something similar in COFFEE.
