Vaguely related to this: FR: Draw a link out of the node and propose suitable nodes to connect this link to | TroikaTronix Forum
I think I made a feature request for this ages ago, but it would be super useful if the list that appears when you double click in the workspace to search for an actor was programmable. If I could have my top 10 most used actors in there, I would be delighted.
Cheers,
Hugh
Maybe the list could be limited to the 'Favorites' category, that way each user could define for themselves which actors they want to appear in this list. Then to pare it down further you could limit the list to showing compatible data types for that link.
@bonemap Thank you for your reply and the link to that thread! I had a feeling the limit might have something to do with the whole cycles thing. I will admit that I neglected to search the forum before asking this question, such is the danger of posting late at night. Hopefully the repeat topic will show that there is continued interest in pushing the limits of these actors. Maybe we'll get an answer this time around, now that hardware has advanced 5 years and gotten more powerful, as you pointed out.
Best,

It's not exactly what you're asking for, but here's some resources that might help you learn more about this concept in Isadora:
Example file I created that covers the basics of motion-tracking: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-basic-motion-tracking/
In-depth live-stream Guru Session by Mark Coniglio, the creator of Isadora, focused entirely on motion tracking with the Eyes++ actor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKSwV4vjq7o
Example project file I made for someone on the forum that used motion tracking to trigger things: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/6213/dining-experience-using-isadora-advice-please/6?_=1711366182217

Why not combine all these three actors into one?
Because a User Actor can do exactly that.

Just wanted to share a GLSL shader I recently put together/adapted for Izzy in the hopes it may be useful to someone else.
We'd love it if you could also post this to the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page if you haven't already. It's specifically for preserving useful and interesting things like this that are made by members of the community. We created the Add-Ons Page because sadly, since the forum is organized by most recent post by default, after a little while it becomes very difficult to find example files/tools that people shared on the forum because they get pushed wayyyyy back by the new posts, and then it's not easy to distinguish a post with an interesting download from a post that's just a conversation at a glance, so people are less and less likely to run across them as time goes on.
Best wishes,
Woland
We'd love for you to put this on the TroikaTronix Add-Ons Page if you have time to do so :)
It's super useful and unfortunately, example files like this posted on the forum will inevitably get buried as new posts are made.
