Hiya!

I’m gonna confess to still being a little iffy on the whole color-object thing. I get the basic idea and how transformations are applied and I think it’s fantastic, but I’m going to need more practice.

Anyway, is there a way to sample a particular pixel from a bitmap image? Ideally I’m take a global position and localise it to the bitmap then will sample the pixel it comes to rest on.

Cheers!
