      @particlep yesterdas we have been in the Ars Electronica center in Linz/Austria. There they have a laser tracking system for their 16meter/9 meter floor. For our next performance in Mid November we can use 8 HD projectors for the wall and floor. So I can get Tuio/osc messages from their tracking system. The scaling is from 0 to 1. So your tutorial comes now really handy to test such kind if setup.

      So I tried all your steps:
      Tuio Pad into Osculator works fine
      Osculator to Isadora works fine
      In eMotion I cannot click into message type and select anything (see screenshot)
      There is also no plus button as in the send window.
      For the OSCtransmit actor I choose the same settings in your tutorial, but I dont understand where do I get what to fill out
       in address.
      Havent opened eMotion for a while, so it wanted to update
      Maybe I can route Tuio directly into eMotion.
      @Mark any news about Tuio implementation in the new Isadora?

        @feinsinn your placing at linz sounds rather wonderful :)  really looking forward to what you make there.

        thank you for your post, so good to know that the tutorials do help.  i too haven't picked up emotion for a while. i think it's something about emotion that the relationship with it becomes a little love hate !
        so in this time of love ... i notice from your screen shots that you have no patch cord to the transmit of the osc transmit actor. this will be why you are not see in anything in the emotion osc window.  try connecting the trigger output from one of your osc listener actors to the transmit of the osc transmit actor.
        i think this will cause all things to happen.
        please please do let me know how you get on. xx

          @particlep thank you for your help! The project is something I did in february this year, you can have a look at this forum post: http://troikatronix.com/community/#/discussion/1064

          You were completely right: I forgot about the transmit string, thanx for that one! The next message I get that I have a wrong OSCtype, see screenshot

            emotion does have a couple of drawbacks regarding osc connectivity
            in our tests the particle were generated the whole time rather then when we sended a message while using the osc routing
            what we are trying now is to use tuio as the interface for particle generation and osc to modify the layer intensity, scripts etc.
            concerning your message type problem
            the current tool is a float,float,float type 
            see the attached image
            we hope that we can share our structure soon but it is to messy yet …

              in returning to emotion this afternoon, i've had to update my version, even though the version i had was the latest version from the website.

              as ever patience is needed when working with emotion.  
              i see emotion crashing when i have the incorrect number of inputs to the osc multi transmit actor.
              earlier this year the multi transmit had 3 input and it worked ok.  http://youtu.be/xGKtgnMA8is?t=43s
              i did find some inconsistency between motion brushes working with osc input. i cannot say with any conclusive evidence this to be correct.

                @particlep yeah the 3 inputs did the trick! Great thank you so much.

                I cant get no syphon from eMotion in Isadora. Via Syphoner it works but I have to cut the top. So scaling to a performer could be more tricky.
                But at this moment the next factor is the stability, if its reliable to use in a performance.
                Thank you again!
                All the best,
                Alex

                  @feinsinn great to hear that the inputs are good.

                  i struggled with syphon from emotion to isadora too.
                  i'll be interested to hear about what you experience with emotion with regard to stability and what direction your artistic decisions take as a result.

                    @feinsinn,

                    to activate the syphon output
                    you have to go into your prefs and give it a resolution
                    the default entry isn't working
                    then you have to activate the Framebuffer (debug -> use fbo)
                    great that the 3 float trick worked for you
                    best

                      @m_theater thank you for the hint, syphon works now, great!

                      I´m experience always a crash when clearing a layer.

                        @feinsinn this bothered us the whole last week but we solved this yesterday by a script with a "fadeout + reset" cue

                        it is strange we thought clearing a layer just means the particle are swopped but and reset is killing all infos but the reverse is true
                        …

                          i've added another video today in answer to :

                          Is there a way to use osc to continuously generate particles?

                                  Just wanted to share a little clip of our last rehearsal:
                                  Its our cleaning robot tracked by lasers
                                  Video comes from eMotion, Motion Brush Shake
                                  I get their Tuio messages into my system via Osculator. Then I route it into Isadora and send it to eMotion. Then via Syphon back to Isadora.
                                  Great applause to @particlep for his great tutorials. Wouldnt have managed to do it without them.
                                  Works also great with humans, not only cleaning robots ;-)

                                          I'm from the Philippines. I use Isadora for interactive projections for dance ballet shows.I discovered eMotion in this forum and followed tutorials of particlep. Tuio, OSC, Wii functions work! Great Thanks to particlep for sharing the tutorials. My only problem now is how to properly syphon eMotion. As suggested by m_theater, I've changed the resolution and activated the Frambuffer. Render window can now syphon but it displays a quad image instead. Please see attached images below. On the other hand, I tried working with the old version of eMotion in an Imac and syphon works perfectly. Here are the two scenarios: Scenario 1. eMotion: Latest 0.7.1 installed in a MacBook Pro Retina with OSX 10.9.2. Syphon Status: to activate syphon, I have to click "use FBO" but syphon displays a quad image. Additional Info: When I tried using a demo version of Syphoner by SIGMAMIX, Syphoner reads the eMotion render window without FBO being activated. But I wouldn't want to go this route. Scenario 2. eMotion: 0.6.9. installed in an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Syphon Status: working, no need to enable anything in eMotion. Syphon to and from Madmapper, Modul8, and Isadora working perfectly. ---- I hope someone can help me figure out how to make syphon work with eMotion 0.7.1 66169f-syphon-debug-checked.tiff 20ac34-fbo-unchecked.tiff

                                            @lazandre you're welcome. i figured by sharing we could collectively learn more.

                                            well done for keeping version 0.6.9 working.
                                            right now i have no answers for you. sorry that sucks i know, however my approach has always been i don;t know how emotion is meant to work so i'll find out what i can do with it.
                                            i have always suspected that there are parts of emotion that are not fully implemented in the publicly released versions but still appear within it.  i can share with you that many times i've shut emotion down and walked way from it because it just wasn't being very useful.  
                                            sometime later i see something that answers the problem i had when i walked away ,,, and i go back and try again.
                                            i'm not sure what else i can add right now. sorry.
