Hi ditis_MK,

The Output of the Scene node is in World Space [XYZ], and the UV will be related to the Surface it is attached to. From the image, I can tell not so much. Please always with a scene file. Thanks.

Please check your Private Messages here on Cineversity.

I have sent you an upload link. (I’m not sure if the PM went through… Edit, it seems to be broken again, so sorry/edit)

Or just zip your file, reduced to the parts needed, and attach it here.

Cheers

PS: Since the Forum’s software is kind of buggy, and I can’t get even a PM to you, let me try it this way:

Here is a set up where you can move the Sphere, and the Circle.1 will follow.

Please note that world space, screen space, and UV are not the same.

The Output from the Scene Node will be the numbers that you have from the object. UV range will always be 0-1 (for each axes of course).

To gain information about the set up, it needs to be calculated first. There is no Result Node like in Xpresso. To get this, please have a look here:

Here is a little screen capture about it

All the best
