Vat animated picking

Its been a while, I can’t find similar reports and not sure if I missed a setting (api isn’t helping :frowning: ). If you try to pick the beak? of the thin instances above the bounding box, the action manager won’t fire. Ditto for mesh.thinInstanceRefreshBoundingInfo(false,true);

I do not need real-time bounding info update, what do I need to set for accurate picking of vat driven thin instances?

edit: i forgot to add, I’m using gpu picker with onPointerObservable. Was expecting pointer pick to fire when picking on a vat driven mesh but it seems like scene.pick is not registering the thin instance picked after animation.

Way more accurate than scene pick, try picking the legs! Leaving here for posterity, checks not included, adapt to your own use-case. Cheers!

edit: on 2nd tots, I think smthg is still wrong…hmm…
