Any ideas why it might not be recognized or what I can have her look for?

Well, it's a bit hard to tell because sometimes there can be a system library (DLL) that's missing, though in every case I can think of Isadora should throw up an "missing DLL" dialog message if that's the case.

Since you brought it up in the Isadora User Group, I need to ask if your student read and followed this part of the READ ME document?

Windows: Install the Kinect SDK

To use OpenNI Tracker on Windows, you must install the Kinect v2.0 SDK (software development kit.. This SDK is required if you have a Kinect v2.

You can currently find the download here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-u...

Some users with Kinect v1 cameras have reported that only the v1.8 SDK worked. We suggest trying the v2.0 SDK first. If you do not see an image from your camera, then try the v1.8 SDK, which you can download here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-u...

If either of those links don't work, simply do a search for kinect v2.0 sdk or kinect v1.8 sdk and you should find a download link at microsoft.com.

Take note of the part that says "Some users with Kinect v1 cameras have reported that only the v1.8 SDK worked"

It would be helpful when porting projects with 3DS texture files that there be an option to locate or otherwise produce the disassociated file and reset the texture, rather than be told that 'the default color specified by the material will now be used instead of a texture map."

FYI:  It's a bit of a big ask because then we have to be able to update that file name in the 3DS file and write it out. Isadora knows how to read those files, but I have no equivalent code to write them.

For the moment you can expect that you'll need to change those files in a program designed to open, edit and modify 3D files.

If you're comfortable sharing this, it'd be great to have a version of this on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons page (link in my signature) if it's not there already :)

We'd love it if you could put this workaround on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons page (link in my signature) :)

For everyone's benefit: the crash the user is describing can be caused by a bad font being installed in the system.

When you install fonts on macOS, don't just put them in the font folder. Instead, drag them into FontBook because then the font will be analyzed for problems.

For example, one font that was causing a user trouble generated this dialog when dragged into FontBook.

If a font shows errors like this, it may cause Isadora to crash.

@fred

I am unsure why Isadora would not recognize the codec. Send me a small-ish test file via WeTransfer (you have my email) or other method and we'll look into it.

Re: [Syphon Virtual Webcam - Questions & Assistance](/topic/6747/syphon-virtual-webcam-questions-assistance)

is it possible to force a 'float on top' function with the SVW? so stays in the foreground when working on an Izzy patch and flipping between streaming tools etc..?

if not - it would be a cool additional function for a very useful tool...

@liminal_andy

I would consider it,  but would prefer it to be automated.   It's in a worship environment, and hoping to allow it to be run by semi-trained volunteers.  

However, I hadn't thought of using companion  - that might be a workable solution.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Do any of the tools similar to OBS allow for communication with other programs?  Seems like they are missing a huge bump in usability if not.

Thanks,

El

@bonemap I know cool ,right! My next one is to test out the main Lidar camera on the iPad Pro . Hopefully I should get a much deeper range .I'll let you know after I've scrounged one from some where.

@lighting273

Have you checked out the Body Tracking Guru Session? It comes with a set of files that may prove useful.

The OpenNI Tracker Tutorial file (for the OpenNI plugins) may also be helpful as a starting point.

This forum thread has some helpful work from @bonemap you could try to incorperate. 

From the TroikaTronix Add-Ons page, there's also this 3d lines puppet for the OpenNI actors, which is also from the fabulous @bonemap.

You could probably also adapt the work that @mark posted in this forum thread.

Searching the forum for "3D particles" may also turn up other treasures for you :)

@bennnid

I logged this feature request and also added on that any actor that can open a dialog might benefit from the addition of a trigger input so that the dialog can be opened using the Control Panel (like you can with the 'izzymap' input on a mapped Projector actor).

Anyhow: you were right. I just put the gui monitor onto the M2000 and one projector on the 770 instead. Now Spout works.

Thanks to a prompt from the fabulous @liminal_andy, I've started making a tutorial file for the Stage Mouse Watcher (it incorporates some brilliant programming of his as well). Here's a sneak peek:

3.0.7

 I just checked my 3.0.7 mac install and it is top of the list when I type 'CUR' as you did.
Maybe try a re-install.

@woland Yes I think it should be possible to simply record all the content ie the audio and the video.

hi, ( I don't know a lot in lightning softs, but after doing this I realized everybody was using Q-lab for the lightning part... too bad! but at least Isadora rules everything nicely ! " 1 ring to rule them all "

So, I made this one for a friend- light operator, who needs to cue the lights (left), sound (right), and remote control a 2nd computer offstage with Atem osc,and movies to be played ( on the right too) 

Each scene uses several matrix send value for light and all "crossfad-able" values ( volumes, pans ), and broadcaster for all triggers ( sound, movie num, etc).

The bomb button allows to "kill" a fader to 0 after a set time, even if you change scene ( there is a turning mechanism on stage that needs to be turned off after a precise amount of time, to be in the "good" position, but other cues are continuing in between. 

There are also 3 oscillator I can assign to any light fader, it's scaled for each fader with the min value ( little fader on the side) and max value ( actual main fader position that can be updated even though it's following the oscillator with "show value of linked properties"), and though midi in (0-127) and control panel in (0-100) it stays coherent thanks to the "scaling" function of actors ' input in isa, ( thanks so much ) and it's really cool to use ! 

@bennnid

Thanks ! There will be bore, this is just the beginning....

I think it would make it clearer ;-)

@dbini Thank you very much !!
