Dear All,

In assisting @Woland with a project, I created a patch that might benefit some of you. It implements 3D style navigation using the mouse to determine the rotation (i.e., the direction you are looking) and the standard w-s-a-d keys to move forward, backward, left, or right, respectively.  There is a 3D model in the scene that has the letters AAA / BBB / CCC / DDD to give you an orientation.

The patch uses a combination of a User Actor called "Keyboard Navigate" which calculates the correct x and z translation based on the current rotation, and another Javascript actor that computes the translation and rotation in the orientation the 3D Stage Orientation actor requires them.

Note that the included three.min.js javascript library must accompany this patch, and must be at the same level as the Isadora .izz file that uses it.

Enjoy,
Mark

Hi....I have PRO hd 1080 form works extraordinary, have everything set up with my presets yet I was thinking about how to get the camera to follow development. for instance I have ptz presets going from extreme left across to extreme right ( much like perusing a screen or book). I needed to have the camera track whatever development and follow it across the presets varying. Like if its pointing at a parking area, vehicle enters extreme left by ptz 1 and track it as it gets across ptz 2 and 3 while recording video. Is this at all conceivable or have I missed something basic? I read the manuals, poured over the settings and am puzzled.

You've posted this question in a thread about motion tracking cameras, like the Kinect and Orbbec Astra and others. This thread isn't really about PTZ cameras. You might want to start a new topic and specifically mention you have a question about interfacing and controlling PTZ cameras.

Best Wishes,

Thank a lot

excellent indeed! i especially love part3

well, this laser device looks like good fun. I've been doing some projects using coloured laser pens and Izzy for a while but i'm not so experienced with proper laser hardware. It would be great to have an easy and affordable laser device that I could control via Isadora.

It seems to take midi, which can also be used as a way to link to dmx.

If you have a pending file it does to stop you from adding new plugins. The problem might be that the file size is to large. I can't imagine that 40.1mb zips to 3.9mb, there must be some kind of error for showing such a small size after compressing. This would also mean that your file size is to large to upload it to the plugin page. 

I would suggest you create your new entry with a screen shot and all the text and send me the file you want people to download. I then will upload it to the backend. You can send it over with https://www.swisstransfer.com/ (the Swiss version of wetransfer), but you upload up to 50GB for free. I will PM you my email address.

Please try running the attached file.

This file works for me.. and I don't see why the incoming data would be managed any differently in your case.

let me know if this file works for you

Dear All,

Users who have installed OBS v26.1 or later will find that the current version of Syphon Virtual Webcam (v0.9.5) does not work as expected. For Users who have not installed OBS at all, or who have versions earlier than v26.1, Syphon Virtual Webcam will work well.

I haven't tried it yet, but it probably will work to downgrade OBS to v25.0.7. You can download that version here. If you do that, you should still follow the instructions below.

Syphon Virtual Webcam relies the open source driver obs-virtual-webcam. When running OBS v26.1 and later, a new built-in version of obs-virtual-webcam is installed by OBS, and this new version is incompatible with the old plugin.

For the moment, if you want to use Syphon Virtual Webcam, you will need to do the following:

1) In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder..., enter /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/ and hit return
2) Delete the file obs-mac-virtualcam.plugin
3) Run Syphon Virtual Webcam again -- it will automatically install the old plugin

This means Syphon Virtual Webcam will work again, but it likely means that the built-in virtual web cam offered in OBS v26.1 and later will not work any longer. 

So you'll have to make a choice between the two for the moment.

I will be looking to fix this as soon as possible.

Best Wishes,
Mark

I'm having issues getting the OBS Virtual Cam to display the feed coming from Syphon Virtual Cam.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was able to reproduce this with the latest version of OBS.

You can read more (and find a workaround) in this forum post about this issue, which I've just posted because of your issue.

Best Wishes,
Mark

@juriaan

You are correct. I didn't notice that. It came automatically from the Facebook creator backend. I'll have to watch for that in the future.
Its fixed now.

@dbengali 

We may have already fixed this in the most recent beta. Feel free to open a support ticket using the link in my signature and I can add you to the beta program so you can try it out. Certainly, it is a thing that should work.

Hi

A friend of mine is selling a lanBox LCX in berlin. Barely used.

DM me if you would like to get in touch with him.

@woland

exactly and perhaps easier to do an equivalent to "Get URL Text" an actor "Send URL". I use at this time the QC Webbrowser to send command to a PTZ Camera but sometime this old QC actor crashes without any reason.

I hate Apple for this yearly OS change. No time to work on other things (sound , etc…)

The return problem in different controls is solved for me on Mojave.

Thanks for all

Jean-François

@michel THANKS A LOT !

@dusx

Please put this on the Plugin Page so it's easier to find for future users (if you haven't already) :)

Awesome!

Please put it up on the Plugin Page too if you haven't already <3

Hope some of you can make it.
