Re: [[SAMPLE PATCH] Repel Particles?](/topic/7165/sample-patch-repel-particles)

I've been working on the repel patch is there a way I can get the textures of the 3d model to appear. When I export as the .3ds file it doesn't give me export options for the texture except asking if I want to preserve MAX's texture coordinates. I have also tried changing the color of the 3D model particle to white, black, or transparent and still didn't show up. I also was trying to figure out if I can have the particles stay still until it detects movement. right now, I have a mouse watcher since I don't have a web camera at the moment but have a eyes++ patch ready to connect and I know works with the repel patch. I'm wanting to use movement to repel the particles. or by using threshold so that the person is outlined by the particles. I attached the screenshot of my patch.

Hello,

Here is more:

How can I set the baud rate to 250000 in ISADORA?

Protocol for USB DMX 512 Pro Interface MK2

baudrate: 250000

packet format:

1.byte  0x7E  // package header (always 0x7E)
2.byte  0x06  // message type (always 0x06 for sending DMX data)
3.byte  0x##  // DMX startcode + data length LSB (512 channels: 0x01)
4.byte  0x##  // DMX startcode + data length MSB (512 channels: 0x02)
5.byte  0x00  // DMX startcode (always 0x00)
6 to n.byte 0x## // DMX data
n+1.byte 0xE7  // package footer (always 0xE7)

This data packet is to be sent if DMX values have changed. No need to repeat steadily.

I have received the information on the protocol used from the manufacturer:

I want to have 2 stages with different geometries on the same display.

 Another option is to use Virtual Stages for the different geometries and then use a Get Stage Image actor to decide which geometry to send to the display.

Unfortunately, I am time poor to create a tutorial atm.

Once you've got more time we'd love it if you could upload it to the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page if you haven't already.

Cool things like this tend to get buried in the forum over time.

Best wishes,

Well I have 1 camera, its almost new, so I suppose it works:) it worked again when I tested it the day after...

Hi,

There are some options to achieve what you have described in Isadora. You might find a part solution with the 3D Particles and 3D Model Particles modules.

Here is a forum thread that links to an example:

Specifically, I'm trying to get PNGs to follow the portrait of a person or get the image to act as a shape so it can move around and be manipulated to follow the person. I' trying to get a png to interact with the threshold being lower so that the png shows up for different values using a camera for motion capture similar to "portrait on a fly" art piece. I want the portrait of a person picked up by a camera to be made up of a png. even if there is a way to do a connection with motion tracking and particles.
