Hello,I've been asked to design a light installation for the outside of a building. I usually use projection for this kind of work, but the building is painted pretty dark and it would go way over budget to hire a powerful projector for the period. I was thinking of buying a laser and installing it in a nearby building and squirting some interesting patterns on the walls - maybe with some mapping to highlight the shape of the building. Thing is, i have no experience of this kind of kit, beyond reading about the different types of laser available, and the different communication protocols involved. does anyone here use lasers in an interesting way for performance or installation? could you share some advice of what to take into consideration - both technically and artistically?It would be nice to use Isadora and control the unit through DMX, but i think ILDA is probably more powerful, so would that take me in the direction of specific laser control software?all the best,john

You need to be certain that both Unreal and Isadora are using the same GPU.You can set which GPU an application uses in the video card control panel. ( I am most familiar with nVidias, where it is foudn under 3D settings)This article explains. Once both the EXE for Isadora and for UnReal are using the same GPU it may work (your setup is untested, so I am not positive).Hopefully that's all that is needed.

@OhranGoing from one scene to the other does not fade values from an actor, it only fades/crossfades the video and the audio. If you want to pan the video horizontally you need a envelope generator where you give the starting and the end point and the time it takes from one to the other value. But I guess you also have to zoom in the video to have a sort of panning feeling.Best Michel

You can also use Midi.I have connected to MA with Artnet and Midi.Midi is a bit easier sometimes.

@MichelThe pictures start to get clearer. And, as always, the remarks of Mark shed a lot of light.Thanks for your answers.

Hi all,updating this topic with a quick question about this CCTV setup. I would imagine it working this way :CCTV > AHD to HDMI converter > HDMI input in Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle > USB input into computerI supposed the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle is recognized as video source in Isadora, isn't it ?Does anyone have some feedback on this kind of setup ?

@bonemapHi Russell, thank you very much. Both apps work fine, TouchOSC is easy to program, stable and reliable. GyrOSC works as well but the sensors are very sensitive even with the smoother at max.I was thinking of using it for motion captures the range of the Kinect and Orbbec sensors is very limited.Will keep you posted, Hendrik

Bumping this because I just did an update, adding all my bookmarks for images, video, and audio to the document.I still to integrate the following folders of bookmarks: Stasi filesVJ FilesVideo ConvertingMotion GraphicsTypingAlbums3DGeneratorsVoice SimulationTest ImagesClip ArtArtworkFluid SimulationFacesFile Size CalculationEnjoy  Woland

@plem I run into this problem over and over on mac! And the Solution from PAZ is the one. the surveilance of mac os is amazing. not only within downloads. 

@eamon A good test would be to feed the Syphon Virtual Webcam feed back into Isadora as a Live Capture Source. In Stage Setup, enable Syphon output for your Isadora StageUse Syphon Virtual Webcam to simulate the Isadora Stage as a webcamIn Isadora's Live Capture Settings, setup the virtual webcam as a capture channelStart live capturePlace a Video In Watcher and connect it to a Projector actorIn Stage Setup, make a second Stage and aim the Projector with the Video In Watcher at it (so you get the virtual webcam feed in a new stage).See if the content degrades over time just looping back into Isadora without Zoom in the mix. If it still degrades, then Syphon Virtual Webcam is the issue. If not, then Zoom is the issue.  P.S. It's not at all implausible that Zoom handles webcam feeds and screen sharing in different ways, and to me it'd make sense if their code prioritized keeping things high-res when screen-sharing but let webcam feeds occasionally dip in resolution when the connection gets bad. If at all possible, try to connect your computer to your router directly with an ethernet cable, you'll get a better connection than just using wifi, which might solve the issue if it's related to Zoom letting webcam feeds slide a bit when the connection is spotty. Best wishes, Woland

@fubbi yes and it is useful to calculate the lenghtr of the curb ;)

@Skulpture thank you! 

@DusX said: <p>@Skulpture said:</p> <blockquote>You can create any virtual canvas size in stage setup but not in IzzyMap. Possible feature request?</blockquote> <p> Its being looked into.</p>  Great - would love to chat to you about this. I've discovered a few limitations and possible feature requests. 

Thanks for the replies.

@nicMaybe one could try these mobile phone, clip on lenses for a wider angle.Some DIY would be necessesary though.

VLC should do it.Best,Dill

@kdobbeCurrently the blend mode can not be published. We do have a feature request in place for this, and hopefully it will be added in the near future.Your workaround is what needs to be done currently.

@Woland said: Also, I've logged this as a feature request. I couldn't agree more: I find it a "must-have" in Corona-times. I am just checking out  Skulptures tip:  https://www.chromacam.me/. 30 bucks for the full version and a very slow download are not very promising ;o(

@craigw said: <p>The Virtual Stage is what I’ve been looking for.</p><p>Thanks</p>  Yes this sounds like the best solution. The get stage image is amazing in combination with a virtual stage.
