Isadora and Animata

Maximortal

Anyone know how send Anamata's animations in Isadora? I'm on win version and I have no idea how to do it through Spout, is it compatible with animata?

On windows I am not sure. @DusX is the man who can answer the most about Spout.

Maximortal

@Skulpture I know u solved on OSX...I saw your post in NI-Mate forum... ;-)

Skulpture

hehe - I get about :)

I don't know if Animata has added spout support.
You may want to ask on the forum there.. if they have support it will be very new.

Animata has not been updated in ages. You can try to add spout yourself, but you need to program. There is a way with spout to capture the screen and forward it to the virtual camera. This setup is extremely old school, but animata is an old school app.

I think you can download an SDK so you'd have to implement it yourself (or pay a dev?)

Maximortal

@Skulpture Yes, I must do it!....pay some one I mean!!! :-)

Any dev out there?

P.S.: or beg Mark to add an Animata actor in next relese......I'm a lazy boy! XD

Skulpture

There is nothing much Mark could do actor wise.

A developer would basically just need to find the name/reference for the main output window and link it to the Spout (and Syphon?) library. Then both mac and windows users could take full advantage of animata. I am really surprised no one has done this yet. Bu saying that I am no coder/developer so it could be much harder than I think?

Maximortal

I agree with you, probably it's no so difficult to do it, but far over my knowledge...I'm thinking to send a request over my facebbok contacts (full of nerdy people off course) some one else would like to do it too?

Skulpture

Good idea - keep us posted :)

Maximortal

Ok, I did it...is quite a workaround but working.

Basically I send animata full screen to a secondary monitor then I open Mapio2 pro and use secondary monitor as source and spout as output......then in Isadora I use spout as source...and finally animata is IN!!!! Gosh....20 FPS....!!

BTW now is the best solution I found...probably usin two different computers and sending image trough TCPSpout performances can improve...stay tuned

Cool :)
