here's the image of the set if that doesn't make sense. img_0879-resized.jpeg

Also, just a general tip for anyone who's working on a production with complex mapping surfaces: It's a good idea to get a flat image of the set as an image and use that to make a rough IzzyMap setup of the different surfaces. That way you can do design work ahead of time and have some form of previsualization, then when you get access to the physical projectors and the set, you have something to start from and tweak instead of having to start building from scratch.

It will be entirely possible to use that kind of sensor with Isadora when interfaced with an Arduino. I don’t have any of those sensors myself, but there is useful information and a hook-up guide available through Sparkfun: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/force-sensitive-resistor-hookup-guide?_ga=2.146800052.1210378344.1648068913-1689748914.1648068913

Hola @victorzapata87 como bien dice @jfg esa es la forma de trabajar con el actor Sound Player si lo que necesitas es que el audio inicie de forma automática al entrar en la escena. Cuando utilizas archivos de audio no comprimidos ( wav o Aiff) deberás usar el Sound Player en vez del Movie Player.

Si hay algo mas en que pueda ayudarte quedo atento a tus inquietudes.

@woland hey mate.

Just had a look at that actually. I always forget about that actor. It sort of works if you use your feet too, I need to experiment more.

@jump

depending on your projectors, it could be possible to select just a part of the image send to them. This way you could crop the picture on each projector to the needed part. But this would result in a quality loss, as only the slice of the full picture would be used.

there were 2 active installs. i'm not sure where one of them is [...] I think it was on a Mac Mini i have in a drawer somewhere....

When you activate an Isadora 3 Perpetual, Subscription, or Rental License, the dialog gives you an optional field for a name at the bottom. If you put a name in there, it'll show up in the Online License Portal too (which makes it handy for choosing which computer to remotely deactivate your license on).

i've deactivated it remotely. Awesome! I was not aware this was possible.

It's super handy. It also means if a computer breaks, needs to have the data wiped, gets stolen/destroyed, etc, you can go on the Online License Portal and deactivate your license on that computer remotely and then immediately activate your Isadora 3 Perpetual, Subscription, or Rental License on a different computer hassle-free :)

Thanks @woland !

Thanks @maximortal !

Thanks @limina_andy ! Yes, live projection masking is for what you are saying what we can achieve. Not familiarize with duvetyne fabric but will . search. By masking you mean work inside Izzymap with a composite layer ?

Best,

I was wondering if anyone tried to use the Lidar scanner associated with Isadora to create content. [not necessarily the Lidar from iPhone]

It could be either by taking the real-time points or after connecting with an Arduino, to get data in to trigger some effects with Isadora. 

If anyone has some knowledge to share, please let me know.

Thanks

I would maybe combine Wave Generator (set to square wave) - Video Fader and a string of Video Delays to get full control over the trails. A feedback loop could work, or a feedback loop with a Video Delay in it, or even Motion Blur might be a solution. The niceness of this effect is a combination of splitting the image into a series of separate images, and having control over the time between them. Buffer might give you more control.

@spenserspratlin

I was wrong about not requiring 'println', if you don't use it the Isadora buffer may overrun.

Just to add to the conversation, I wondered if anyone had any experience with the Kiloview N1/N2 Wireless NDI Encoder (N1=SDI, N2=HDMI) for when the NDI-HX app isn't necessarily suitable? 

We've had good success with full NDI wired encoders (Bird Dog Flex) for when wired signals can be sent (although, latency is comparable, even if a little higher than with the HX app). 

@dusx I have used the v3 drivers with the Leap actor before. In my experience, it works well under tightly controlled conditions with a user that has a base knowledge of how to interact with the Leap. This installation will be out in the wild. In my testing I found the v5 platform to be much better at guessing in low confidence. Things like tucking the thumb into a fist and rotating the hands track pretty well.

But I might just go with blob tracking. I ran through Mark's eyes++ tutorial yesterday using the depth feed from the D435 and I'm kind of stunned at how well it's working. I don't actually need gesture recognition or digit tracking in this instance, so, blob's ftw?

Thanks for the response!

@jfg

Oh thanks, I will try this! And see how it works, great! Thank you :)

@dbini

Thank you John and Woland,

John's idea seemed to do the trick. The images are basically in sync now. There is a little white edge around the body, but we can absolutely live with it. Woland, I may be missing something, but your suggestion seems to give me a red colorized body  against a black background. That only works for some of the students' poems. I was trying to isolate the regular video feed because some of the kids want to to see themselves (not just their colorized bodies) in their poems.

Thanks,

Kirsten

As a workaround, you could consider some automatic mirroring software like Mirror Folders or AOMEI Backupper for PC.

I didn't find any kind of automatic app for this on macOS, but this command will create a synced JavascriptLibs folder in your documents folder.

rsync -va --delete "/Library/Application Support/TroikaTronix/JavascriptLibs/" ~/Documents/JavascriptLibs/

One nice way to automate this is to create an Automater script that runs at system startup

Open AutomatorChoose to create a new documentChoose the "Application" optionFrom the list of possible actions, choose "Run Shell Script"In the "Run Shell Script" Item that appears on the right, paste the rsync code from aboveSave the Automator workflow to your Documents folder as "backup-javascript-libs.app"Quit AutomatorGo to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login ItemsClick the "+" button and enter your password if necessarySelect "backup-javascript-libs.app" from your documents folder and click Add

Now, every time you restart your computer, the JavascriptLibs is backed up to your Documents folder.

If you're comfortable with with a bit of low level stuff, you can go even further and schedule the rsync command to run periodically using cron. See this StackOverflow article for help on that.

Hope that helps,
Mark

DISCLAIMER: I have not tested this functionality with the latest releases of Isadora so can not vouch for its current compatibility.

 

 I can confirm it works with Isadora 3.2.1

@mark Thanks for your reply!

I've now tested it with an external source and it's rock solid - it seems it was the software generator that was the issue.

Question, translated with Google Translate:

Hello everyone, is there a way to insert a preview monitor of the next cue in the control panel? a bit like there is on powerpoint in order to keep under control what's next before we send it on stage.

(Italiano Con Google Traduttore)

No, purtroppo no.

Per poter vedere cosa c'era nel cue successivo sarebbe necessario attivare il cue successivo, ma ciò non avrebbe davvero senso perché il video per il cue successivo verrebbe mostrato sullo stage (uscita video di Isadora) contemporaneamente a il segnale corrente.

Potrei essere possibile utilizzare l'attore Attiva scena e una programmazione intelligente per attivare la scena successiva senza mostrare il video sullo stage. Ma non è una funzionalità integrata.

English

No, unfortuantely not.

To be able to see what was in the next cue would require activating the next cue, but that really wouldn't make sense because then the video for the next cue would be showing on the Stage (Isadora's video output) at the same time as the current cue.

I might be possible to use the Activate Scene actor and some clever programming to activate the next scene without showing the video on the Stage. But it's not a built-in feature.

Ciao,
Mark Coniglio

@mark Thanks! That's really great to hear, I didn't realize NDI was compressing, that explains a lot. This is a huge help, thank you both so much for the thorough explanations. Just got my new video computer and I'm going to jump in. @Juriaan

I think it could be great to have a board of included/excluded from snapshot parameters... just to see them and be able to have a global vision instead of looking around the "excluded from snapshot " values.

 This is a nice UX idea. I will add this to our feature requset database asap.
