Please put this on the Plugin Page so it's easier to find for future users (if you haven't already) :)

 It'd be great if you could upload this to the Plugin Page boss <3

@madido

Please try running the attached file.

This file works for me.. and I don't see why the incoming data would be managed any differently in your case.

let me know if this file works for you

Hi Ryan,

Here is an updated patch with a user actor that calculates the optimum Pulse trigger setting and Particle Count based on using the properties set in the Isadora Preferences for Target Frame Rate and General Service Tasks.

You are absolutely right! You have raised this issue as a prerequisite, and thank you - your generic formula will assist in optimising patches that use this technique and is a great contribution. I will make sure it goes into the notes for the version that uploads to the Plugins page.

Best Wishes

I might suggest this would be a good demo to add to the Plugins page.

Done

See 3D Game Style Navigation Patch on the Isadora Plugins page.

Just wondering if there are any other thoughts on this - I'm eager to try and consolidate the shader into one bit of code so any thoughts appreciated..

The issue with adding a predefined macro is that you'll need to wait for another version of Isadora. 

The Shader Language version (i.e.,  __VERSION)__) on Isadora currently is 110; I suspect the version in other apps is probably higher. Try something like this:

#if __VERSION__ > 110 // execute non-isadora code here #else // execute isadora code here #endif

Does that work?

Mark

@mark Thank you al for the detailed explanation. I get why I just encountered this problem.

Again, a thousand thanks

@tsmall88

Hello,

I've got a non pro model. I did the same route through Unity. But I'd rather not do that. A c++ would new great. If anyone has some hints for that I can test.

Thanks 

@woland 

Ah!! Amazing. Thank you. I kept trying to bring up the on/off actor outside of the user actor which is why it wasn't appearing. 

Much appreciated! 

@mark It works as I expect now. Thanks Mark and Russel.

Great !

All the best to you

Using the Trigger Delay as the timeout is perfect.
I just added a bit here to calculate a 'good' delay time based on the FPS setting (might use Performance monitor to set this)
I didn't see any need for the Buffer actor.

@mark said:

In the case of the OSC Multi Listener, all OSC messages on every channel are sent to the actor

 Well that is good to know.

@whatnao You could also run the projector in an activated scene with a keyboard watcher that listens for a trigger and toggles the projector on or off - so the movie keeps running and the projector is what goes on or off. Since the scene is active the keyboard watcher will react even if you are currently in another scene.

@mark I can't believe my eyes 🤩 amazing work! Thank you and best wishes

 May I suggest putting this on the Plugins Page, Dear Leader?

Because of the fact it doesn't respond to 0 in the middle, I would not consider this a general case. That will cause confusion which could generate support questions/tickets, etc.

@danielpineiro Many thanks for this. I today got onto another guru session about cue's and scenes which gave me a clue as to how you keep some logic running all the time, and your link will, I'm sure resolve this for me. I'm still at the 'add a bit and see stage', so a full 'show' is a tricky thing to conceptualize for me.

I like to have my 'ducks in a row' as it where before I setout, which is probably not the way to use Isadora, but it's all good knowledge. I'm a bit blown away buy what can be done with this system, it's staggering!

Thanks again, now what was that next guru session.... :-)

@eager-iguana

Yes, this program is great and is the option I prefer on PC.

@dusx

i see, so with time and good choices ;-)  I have plenty to test now ....

Although I'm not sure I can get the same smooth effect around the character that some zoom.us background do... digging with alpha mask seems a good solution !

@woland Excellent, now I have to develop the habit. Thanks.
