This was a very interesting session, as usual ! I never made soft edge with 2 or more projectors, but I remember that the position and the distance between the 2 projectors has to be the more precise possible, even if Isadora let user to make changes through Izzymap and Stage Setup.I found in my notes this drawing which explains how to calculate the best set up, if it's useful for someone. Best wishes.ClementSoft edge_distance VP.pdf

@astridRemove the space between ISADORA_FLOAT_PARAM and (So the second one ;) The first one is your example // ISADORA_FLOAT_PARAM (noise_level, noil, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5, "This is the text that helps"); // ISADORA_FLOAT_PARAM(noise_level, noil, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5, "This is the text that helps");

@bonemap not from zoom but you might be able to find them. It's not really a good option as it may give connection problems and incompatibility for other users. I have seen older versions give trouble with the shared stereo audio setting for groups.@mark as far as I know this is Mac and PC.The good news is they have reinstated access to Blackmagic drivers and other non-usb webcam video input. You can put your Isadora stage on an HDMI output that goes directly to a capture device on the same machine. This is a very neat and reliable solution with great quality.

@juriaanah, thanks Juriaan, I missed that. I use OSCrouter a lot, which is a great tool, but still often need other bits and pieces to set up with Isadora when OSCing out of ETC world.

My 3D ropes actor assignement.Not sure if replying here is the way to post an assignement, but here it is. I tried to mimik watching algae move whilst floating above them with a snorkel. Summer feelings came up.I've got a bit of trouble in properly "repelling" the algae with the mousewatcher (possibly I got lost somewhere in rotating spaces). Anyway it kind of works.Older machines may struggle a bit, mine almost hits the 50% load.Cheers to all of you,  (justy noticed that "all of you" sounds pretty similar to "I love you" ...    )guru7_Assignement_Baal.zip

@mark Thank you for a brilliant session! I didn’t have time to join it then. But after seeing it through yesterday, one question emerged into my mind. Back in the times of Isadora v1.x, I remember reading that using excessively User Actors / Macros with heavy load video processing within them would have slowed down the processing (compared to that that they would be all in the base level – no macros or user actors).  Hopefully I remember totally wrong, but I would like to ask if – with Isadora v3.x – it makes any difference to compose complicated heavy duty patches using “heavy” actors inside “multi-layered” User Actors or Macros?Thanks in advance!

@tomthebom said: roughness, reflection or transparency  There is no bump map in Isadora, there is no reflections either. You can texture with alpha channel transparency. Here is a demo patch I created that forces an alpha transparency onto a movie file. The movie files works for MacOS 10.15. Kind Regards Russell 3D Alpha texture-demo.zip

Hi @nandada  The data array is going to be very helpful for what you want to do. I would suggest you determine where your data is coming from and what form it is in. One thing about ocean tides is that there are a number of variables, for example location, time and height. So you would need to consider how to represent the data in a way that is appealing for you and your audience (you may already have that worked out). What are all the variables you want to use? There are parameters you could add such as water temperature, wave height ... so the diversity of data can be interesting to increase/decrease to recreate sonically or visually. You can access data on the internet through data providers such as those listed as free API sources in this GitHub: https://github.com/public-apis/public-api Storm Glass has a free plan for up to 50 data requests per day, after that it gets expensive: https://stormglass.io/ It is then about your patch configuration to make sense of how to work with the data collection over time - and this is where the Data Array can be implemented. If you are interested I have made a demonstration patch that has used free open data from online sources.
