Hey, this is just a post about how great live streaming is with Izzy and OBS. I definitely owe it to Mark in Guru Session 10 for laying the foundation on the endless possibilities! I ran my first live stream with a kinect, a few old laptops using NDI on skype, and the Epoch Cam app on my phone to do a colorful feedback loop with performers virtually tuning in or being physically present. If you're reading this and you've done a live stream using Izzy can you drop a link below?
Here's my stream (starts at 12min): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/7...

Just thought I'd share this interactive / generative installation which is up in Montreal until Dec 18th 2020 at the Maison de la Culture Maisonneuve

'La Lune Est...' displays a series of texts - metaphors that describe the moon - onto a circular back projection screen.

The generative element comes from an optical fedback loop, created with a cctv camera pointed at the screen, and a couple of wave generators to oscilate the contrast and mix in effects (an yes - that is DITHER!!!! I'm still using v2.6.1 for this as I love that effect so much.)

The text is read from a .txt file, which is stored on Dropbox, , which is itself updated from an applet on If This Then That (https://ifttt.com/home - very easy to use) - which means anyone can add their text to the piece easily via a hashtag or google form.

The screen was made by https://www.extension.ca/en in Montreal it cost me about CAD$1000 / £700 including local delivery - it has an aluminum frame, breaks down into patrs, and has a IFR stretch fabric screen with a hem.

The recording of our show is up. We performed it live and recorded the twitch stream. Check it out at quincymorrison.net.

cheers @Notdoc @CitizenJoe @DusX @Kathmandale - and likewise would love to see more projects on here :) 

@gertjanb

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing

@woland

Thanks. I'll add to the plug-ins, probably this weekend. I'll want to make a little how-to video since it might not be obvious how to use it.

Also, since I built upon the work shared by @frank522 in his showcase, I'll want to share how simple it is to make scenes from zoom participants. I'm excited about it.

@witmac I am just getting started.   New to Izzy as well other than the tutorials that do not really go into any of this type of work.  What you did is pretty much what I need to do for my next project.. So anything to share is very welcome.

@peuclid I have to study more to understand how it works, but is really impressive and useful work, thank you for sharing!

Francesco

@kathmandale thanks, the community gave me a lot, it was time to give back 😉

@michel, I wasn't suggesting an email notification! Rather, the idea that when you clicked on a plugin it would say that I downloaded it on H=December 12, 2020, or something or something like that. Or perhaps when you looked at your profile, it shows you a list? I imagine that the tech is already built in, because it knows when you look at a topic or when the topic has been updated?

Happy holidays!

@liminal_andy Sweet! I think this actor may be the shortcut. thanks so much!

Great work with ZoomOSC Andy! With the capabilities of Isadora and the Window into zoom through ZoomOSC we have been able to do some wonderful virtual theatrical happenings! I hope the Office Hours Group plays with isadora more. They will love it.

I love blind mode! Well worth exploring.

Cheers,

As a Dance tech guy I am amazed by what you have achieved Andy. Thanks !

After helping some others, I see that I didn't give info about how to set up ZoomOSC to work properly with this. Since it manages the user info based on ZoomID, and uses the /zoom/list command, you'll need a few settings in ZoomOSC turned on:

OSC Output Rate: (at least) 10ms

Galler tracking mode: TargetID

Here are my full settings to compare:

Hello!

I created this convoluted patch to do the following:

Project two remote performers via Zoom. Desaturate the videos of the remote performers at first Throughout the dance, there were short moments where the hues of the videos need to change at a certain frequency and go back to black & white. At the crescendo, the colors come back and change their hues at a higher frequency.  During this sequence, live feed of dancers on the stage gets superimposed onto the videos of the remote dancers. The videos go back to black & white, and fade to black (space bar)

I used four keys:

‘a’ to turn the colors on and off‘v’ to superimpose the life feed of the dancers on the stage‘d’ to change the frequency of the hue change‘o’ to change the frequency of the hue change back to the original setting, just in case.

This patch worked and the performance turned out great in the end.  But, if possible, I would like advanced Isadora users to give me some advice as to how I can simplify what I created or make it more fun and effective.

Thank you!

<p>@skulpture: Thank you for this “something to explore“.</p>

 Thanks. It was just a bit of fun but it made me smile so thought it would be useful for others. 

So I am just about done building a new user actor that I hope some of you can find a use for. It will allow you to work with Sprite Sheets. I think this offers some interesting creative opportunities. 

Watch a little screen recording of it running thru a Sprite Sheet with 256 character frames.

Features so far:
Play forward or backwardsselect custom frame ranges or full range (default)override numeric selection, and select by Column and Row positions

*currently only works with Square cells. Adding rectangular support is the last planned feature.

Hi all ! I once again I wanted to propose the possibility of having videos about the work done with isadora in this community. Both students and educational/artistic institutions continually ask for "concrete" references about Isadora and what she can do.

Thanks a lot !

Best,

Maxi

@woland

I would love to do that, was not sure if it is up to snuff I suppose and so shied away from that - but will do.
