Any suggestions much appreciated 

How about this?

Thanks for the opportunity to work with the new Leap Motion Actor. I really appreciate it. It works flawlessly.

 By the looks of it, it is tracking the palm data location and rotation. If I could make a humble request, the one point I find very useful in the ultraleap SDK is the index next distal point (index fingertip). I think it's a useful point for screen drawing and general motion capture for mapping to all kinds of things. I know that the rotation value is not accessible for the fingertips, but I think the position for the index fingertip would open up all kinds of possibilities.

'extend screen'

 Since you have extend screen set, I assume you have more than one display connected. The second display is likely projector since you are mapping?
You need to change which display the stage is assigned to via the Stage Setup dialog. Once you set the stage to use the second display, you should have your output on the second display and still have access to Isadora on your main display. In this way you can open IzzyMap and make changes live. 

Additionally, IzzyMap has the ability to publish parameters for external modification.. this allows live adjustment via any input you like.. for example you could use the color of a video input to change the rotation of a mapping. You can publish parameters by right-clicking points and selecting to publish them. Then when you close IzzyMap you can adjust these values externally. I don't think this is what you were asking about, but it might be of interest.

@plzhelplol

And regarding your second question;

I use the 'Output' value; the output is either a 0 or a 1 (a number value), if you connect that to a true or false (a boolean value) it causes 0 = false and 1 = true

That way we don't need a Trigger value.

We hear you @Woland - the limited staff is the reason for the rate of progress - no spite - just offering a work around - have a great day!!

My apologies, I was a bit grumpy because I'd been at the office for around 34 hours straight when I read your comment yesterday (and then stayed for another five). Hope you have a great day too :)

Great! thanks for the help.

Is isadora the right software to manage this or should I be using something else?

Isadora is great at being the glue that connects a bunch of things together.

@davidcoll

I've got some things that I've made that should get you there (might have mentions of things that aren't specific to your use-case, like the last line of the Comment actor in the bottom right of the screenshot that mentions NDI):

Oh!!! So Great !!!
Didn't knew this Show-Hide Control actor !
Thank you !! :)

@citizenjoe

That could be a nice approach. Each layer object having a blur setting. I think I can understand how that might work.

@wjmackwood

If you follow the instructions on pg 90 of the manual, you'll see that you can use the CueMix FX software to create groups of the individual channels - which you can match to the channels you're outputting from Isadora - which you can then control using the CueMix FX software OR the Master Volume knob on the MOTU.
That would solve your problem of outputting too high a level to the speaker, as you can then use the Master Volume knob on the MOTU (or the CueMix FX software) to control the master volume of your chosen channels. You can then refine the levels in Isadora, and not have to worry about setting the level of the sound player actor. Which you should not have to do anyhow, as there ought to be an overall level control from the Mac to the MOTU. As @JJHP3 suggests, not having control over volume is most unusual.

@shahaf if you go down the python route go pro have a pretty good SDK that is well documented and has some examples for low latency streaming over wifi.

Here is the SDK: https://github.com/gopro/OpenG...

Please outline your audio routing (virtual cables, loops etc..)

And let us know how it is being recorded? To a file via record stage? Or something else.

But now I'm missing the sound in the recorded stage video. Is there a way to get a stage video with sound?

Stages have no connection to sound, they are purely for video output.

If you want to capture audio and video output at the same time you could use OBS. You will need:

The free software OBS.This OSC-for-OBS User Actor of mine to start and stop the recording.The free software OSC-for-OBS. The free obs-websocket plugin for OBS (required for using the OSC-for-OBS software). 

(My notes on this are a few years old, but that's how I've done this before.)

@jhoepffner Always right on the spot, Jacques !

It could be scaling but it could also be projector antialiassing. Curves don't really exist in a digital world - only blocks of pixels. And if there are not enough pixels you get "steps".

As I wrote on the other post, the OpenNI Tutorial can be found here: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-openni-tracker/

It makes this puppet with the "Puppet Two Segments" User Actors shown in your screenshot. Double-click them to go inside and I believe you'll be able to find the 3D actor inside it responsible for rendering each segment's location using a specific 3d model, and you can then change the 3D Model being used by that User Actor by changing it in that User Actor and then closing the user actor and choosing "Save and Update All".

More about how to use User Actors (in general) can be found here: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000091626-isadora-101-tutorial-11-creating-user-actors

I am essentially trying to understand :

- how I get this sort of 3D visual from the visualiser 

- how to alter the aesthetic of this 

The Skeleton Visualizer actor can be used for a very basic form of this like so:

The aesthetic is changed by adding video effects like Motion Blur or Shimmer in the video actor chain (after the Skeleton Visualizer, but before the Projector actor): 

Alternatively, you could send all this to a Virtual Stage and use the Get Stage Image actor to pull it back in, then apply effects to it, then send it to a regular Stage via another Projector actor. (This would be useful if you wanted to get multiple skeleton sources all together in one place before you apply the effects):

More about using Stage Setup to create a Virtual Stage can be found here: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000064618-isadora-3-quick-start-with-stage-setup

@woland @jfg I appear to get stable results by using Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G units in conjunction with its accompanying Desktop Video Setup: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/ultrastudio/techspecs/W-DLUS-13

Mac (Isadora Stage) ➔ Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G ➔ Projector / Screen

Hope this is helpful.

Best wishes
