Looking at the project, I suspect that the 2 JS actors should become one. It will be easier to build the array of names and sort them in one go, then build the output string.
Is there any ZoomOSC demo config for testing? It would be easiest with actual data coming in.

You may benefit from the Troikatronix Guru session on this topic.

@woland Thank you !

(Make sure your students know that the forum is always open for any questions they may have) Yes of course !!

Best,

Just bumping this feature request up for attention, seeing as how it's been recently requested by someone else :-)

@emredur

Hi there Emre!

Welcome to the Isadora community forum, glad to have you here.

Isadora doesn't offer any native functions that are specifically intended to streamline the process of projecting onto a sphere. We do however have the tool called "IzzyMap" and the Stage Setup (Edge blend tool) that will allow you to get quite far with what you are trying to accomplish.

If you don't have access to programs like Vectorworks or CAD to pre-visualize the throws of the projectors (based on the make, model, and lenses) onto the sphere you will however have a lot of trial and error to do to figure out where the projectors need to be hung / etc.

It seems that you are just starting with Isadora. So I would suggest the following;

Isadora is paid software, but we offer a demo mode that allows you use to use all the features of the program. The only limitation that we have is that you can't save without a license, you can however rent a license for as little as $10/week.Watch the Guru session that Mark (Creator of Isadora / Media artist) did on the subject of Projection mapping Ask the community! If you ever become stuck or need a hand post a topic on our forum and members of the community will give you a hand.You can also send us a Technical support ticket ;)

Have fun!

Just for the people that find this thread through search / Google.

We just published the M1 version of Firmata to our Add-ons section

Hi there lo-0,

We just published an version of the Firmata actor that also works on M1.

Let us know or you have any problems with it :)

@oscar

No, it's not currently possible.

But I made this feature request some time ago:

https://community.troikatronix...

Perhaps time to bump it up :-)

In the meantime, I have found that setting the movie player to view timecode, and using the timecode comparator actor (IME set to ge (equal than or greater to)) works well.

Yes, it's a long way 'round.

Mark (not that one)

Thanks @Woland for explaining the differences illustrated in your attached video

I should have been more specific with my question. If input a constant stream of changing numeric values into a Smoother and a Multi Blocker with the Smoother's smooth setting set to 0, the output of both will be the same as i increase/decrease their corresponding frequency/time inputs - right?

@dcarmich said:

how can I have a trigger automatically sent on startup to connect to the dLive system when the patch is opened?

The Enter Scene Trigger actor can be used to trigger things upon entering a Scene, so put one in the first Scene connected to whatever it is you want to trigger immediately when the file is opened.

@dusx when I got the results above I literally just had a video in actor hooked up to a projector and the RTMP actor, and the whole thing choked itself down to about 12fps.

I don't remember what the project resolution was, so I'll do some optimisation experiments over the weekend.

Thanks for your help

@the_navigator

Hi.

Sound very similar to a project I was part of a while ago in Helsinki called Reveal in 2012/13 [https://vjskulpture.wordpress....]

The touching part is also possible! Drop me a DM!

Dear all,
Oh my, you are the best:) Thank you so much! I will try this out:)
All the best
Eva

@woland

first of all, thank you very much. 

I applied the 3rd example and it worked. I had to tweak a few values but it works perfectly.

The project, which is part of my practice-based PhD, is an art installation.

I walked from England to Italy last summer, and I want the visitor to the installation to experience part of my walk.

When they enter the space, they are presented with a walking machine (along with other things). 

When they start walking the video, recorded with a 360 camera, of my walk is activated and when they stop the video carries on without showing, and you can just hear the sound. 

It is a way for me to create a sort of reward, where if they walk they can see what is happening.

I was really stressing out, and you guys here are so knowledgeable and really helped. 

And if you are ok, I will mention all of you in this topic and the troikatronix community, in the acknowledgement of my final thesis.

Really thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@kellyruokay

We haven't seen a ticket from you. Did this get sorted out?

Best wishes,

Woland

@woland Thank you, I though MA wasn't taking Midi show control, I'll try that way!

@kathmandale I hear what you are saying but for now the only thing that I'm trying to solve for right now is the live streaming element of the project. So if the most reliable way to sync the audio over multiple camera feeds is to run our sound through one of the those cams mic inputs... that's what I'm going to do. In reality at the venues we're going to using we probably aren't even going to need to amplify the cast in the theatre space itself.

This thread is really only about trying to that syncing problem sorted, and primarily its about getting the right hardware for the job. I'm going to do some experiments with a PCI video capture card with 4 inputs next week, which should at least remove USB bandwidth issues from the equation and I'll come back with the results of my testing so there's a resource  on the latency of various devices available for anyone who needs it.

@antcaramelo

Hi,

I can chime in to this as I use a USB microscope with Isadora. I have had no problem with the camera being recognised by the Live Capture Settings...

Best Wishes

@mark_m
Hi there Mark!

That is quite a big ask.. This will take a few weeks of full-time work to get at a level that is 'production' safe..

Let me look this over and see or this is something that I wish to bite into..

@woland 

of course you can. if anyone finds a need for , most welcome. i will add  some sound to it and also send you. once again so much thank for your help!!!
