@dusx ah ok...Thanks a lot !

 This works in the 3d Particles actor as textures... so I think it will be the same in the 3d models particles actor. Since the texture image doesn't change (only the section used) the image is retained per particle. If you combine setting the texture row/col (so your texture is made up of rects of images) and you have a series of these that you input over time, you can create a series of different animations. One animation for ever col/row texture cell. 

But again, I haven't recently tested with the 3D model particles actor.

@dusx Thanks Dusx!

What's not clear to me in your aproach is whether the letters should be used as textures or as 3D models themselves?

Thanks a lot...I wiil give it a try !!

I don't know how to apply it to this case, but the Texture remains attached to particles (haven't tested 3d model sorry) when new models are created. So you can control the ratio of each texture used. So in the case of the alphabet, you could start with all A's then slowly replace A with B, by switching the col/row of the texture for each created particle at a defined ratio that changes over time.

Hi Maxi,

You might be close to the limitations of the the '3D Model Particles' with this concept of 'organic transformation'. There is a way to simulate transformation of the 3d model itself and I have prepared the attached demonstration for you.

@bonemap thanks a lot for your super fast response!

I see your aproach, and its super cool.

But what about if I want to have individual control over those models. For example, start with a sphere and at a certain point move to a cube, and so on... maintaining the idea of a gradual -but independent- transformation...or I can think of a sequence of letters (from A to Z)

I hope I'm clear.

Best,
Maxi

Hi Maxi,

multi_3d_model.zip

here is a demonstration set of how to achieve your suggested composition.

The method is to include a number of 3d models into a single 3ds file and then separate the models using the 'group index' parameter of the '3d Model Particles' module.

Dear Russell, I hope you're doing well. I'm working again with the patch you shared about 3D model particles, and it works really well!

My question is the following: starting from this "cascade" of particles that respond to movement, how could I introduce/add new 3D models (object input) or textures (Texture Map input) gradually? Because when modifying the texture or object, all the particles change instantly (it's reasonable), but I want to be able to mix or merge the old ones with the new ones in a more organic way, respecting the "lifecycle" of each one. I imagine a possible solution using two 3D Model Actors simultaneously. But perhaps there is another, more efficient and organic solution.

I hope my question is understood. Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a reliable „mobile“ internet solution to stream live video and audio via IzzyCast (using Isadora) for a hybrid dance performance between Cologne (DE) and Oulu (FI).

The Cologne location has no fixed internet, so I need something mobile (5G/LTE), with low latency and solid stability.

What do you use for mobile streaming with Isadora?

Thanks!
