Mike,

You seem enthusiastic, but we need more info on your setup, your use, what do you film, where do you project… Be more precise and it will be profitable for  other ones. On the iogeni website, I see only a remote for house devices. Thanks, Jacques

Dear @ioio,

That's true, but screen capturing like that might affect the frame rate and thus the latency. Seems better to capture it with an external camera. Best Wishes, Mark

There are a wide variety of methods that one could use to achieve this... and it will really depend on your show (setup time... requirements etc..)

If you have successfully been able to add a video texture to a 3d sphere in Isadora.. you are on a good path in my opinion. (this may take some doing as you need the sphere to be texture mapped in a specific manner to not loose video around the back side of the sphere) This method should give you true 3d warping. There is also the 3D mesh projector... and I believe that sphere mesh files are available for download (the manual has the wrong link currenlty: http://paulbourke.net/dome/warpplayer/) With Isadora 2, the 3D mesh is currently not my recommended option, since it renders direct to stage (using vid-cpu) and bypasses the option of using IzzyMap. Another option, that is dead easy.. but less exact would be to simple fish eye the video and mask to your sphere...

What 3rd party ffgl plugins are unable to pass vid-gpu to an user actor?
This shouldn't be a limitation and needs testing.

I'm interested to know what graphics card you are using? I've not seen this either.

Hello,

Activated background scene, using broadcaster/listener for video is my solution concerning global masking/mapping. But user actor stay a necessity to learn and use! Jacques

+1 for doing this in Max. The plethora of nodes available in Max to perform granular analysis of the Midi stream makes it ideal and once these data have been filtered I'd wrap them up as OSC data and fire them over to Izzy.

Thanks Michel !! the answer was around the corner, but I didn´t see it

hi VidE

Did you end up making a 'Playback Pro'-type patch in Izzy?

I'm working on incorporating 'instant replay' for a section in a new project, so any pointers would be welcome. -mike

You could do some basic stuff in Izzy I think but does it have to be?

I know a lot of people do this in a gaming environment like Unity... for example: http://zigfu.com/en/zdk/unity3d/ 

I have never used, Net Broadcaster...

I would like to, but haven't had need yet. Perhaps its something to add to my ToDo list. Right now I am doing a bunch of dev with Tcp-ip, but in a totally different way. I am running a small webserver that I can communicate with, it is working well for outgoing messages, but incoming like you are looking for would require leaving the connection open.. not sure how reliable that would be.

OK, see attached screen shots. I am using Lemur ap on my iphone with the Studio Combo for iPhone template. Using the drums tab/page. I get 16 messages when I press any button. 9484d6-screen-shot-2015-07-03-at-14.21.42.png 94f47a-screen-shot-2015-07-03-at-14.23.04.png

Have you gotten the arduino to control the motors? There are several threads about controlling an arduino with isadora, but first you need to program the arduino to control your motors. 

@jhoepffner posted a patch for this: http://troikatronix.com/troikatronixforum/discussion/comment/13074/#Comment_13074

Thanks @Fubbi.

Thanks Primaldivine !! this is very helpful and exiting for all the possibilities.

Big Hug Maxi 

Got it!,,, well we thought..

Thnx to Jacques lines of code for the serial watcher actor we manage to read te correct value's. Never the less did we have to cut the amount of sensors from 8 to 4 and later on even one. somehow everything worked separately but when we got the patching going the Isadora decided to read ghost values. some didn't, some did. after three days of switching sensors, checking cables and connections we just picked the best we thought we had and kept it with that.

It was a great lesson and practice but it reminded me that stuff mostly fails when systems and logic meet.

Anyhow it didn't work as we'd hoped, but people are very excited and surprised by the fact that they trigger a sequence mapped on paintings. thnx again for all the help

@lpearse

and you took the vfx folder and put it inside of the FreeFrame folder? If you take the plugin folder with the afx and vfx folder they will not get recognized.

Best Michel

Or make an alpha mask (select the white, invert the selection, save the selection…), leaving the white, saving as .psd and isadora recognize the alpha mask.

Jacques

Dear Fubbi,

The new Shared Resources feature, which will appear in the next release, allows you to do this. The team is testing this version now, and we will make it available as soon as we feel it is stable. Best Wishes, Mark

@Mark you are very welcome, looking at your patches let me learn more and more ;-)
