Hi there!

Welcome to the Isadora community forum.

What kind of Skeletal tracking are we talking about? We support a variety of Body tracking solutions with our OpenNI intergation, which can be found here;

https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

This bundle includes our OpenNI Tracker Plugin, the Skeleton Decoder plugin and our Skeleton Visualizer that allows you to draw the Skeleton on your stage.

You said that you tried this / had issues with it? Could you elaborate a bit more about your setup, what kind of sensor, what kind of computer are you using (Mac / Windows, and what version of the operation system)

@mark many apologies for this extremely late response.  I got caught up in tech and then no longer had access to the systems where i was running into this.

Current tests with Mojave and the latest NDI Watcher 1.0.1 -

NDI 4 Watcher 1.0.1 on Mojave Isadora 3.0.8 reports correct resolution

NDI 5 Watcher 1.0.1 on Mojave Isadora 3.1.1 reports correct resolution

in brief test, all is working as hoped!

thanks so much

"Reverse-Engineering Zoom with Isadora

Site-Specific Performance for the Internet

04 January 2021

Jared Mezzocchi has been systematically exploring what Zoom and the editing program Isadora can offer theatre practitioners during the pandemic. He has been working in the field for over a decade and has explored it from multiple points of view—designer, director, playwright, artistic director. As a theatre educator, he launched an MFA program at University of Maryland in projection design, and he recently designed and co-directed Russian Troll Farm, the highly acclaimed Zoom theatre production. We Zoomed in November to talk about the production, how to reverse-engineer Zoom, Isadora as the way forward, and more."

The thread you replied to has a step-by-step instruction: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/6841/using-osc-between-computers-in-separate-locations/2

I think you should be able to find a 'FFGL Tile' plugin that may replace the MultiVid actor, depending on your exact usage.
Try the 'FFGL Tile' actor in the oficial FFGL bundle first: https://troikatronix.com/plugi...

@DusX @Fred @GertjanB @Juriaan @fubbi Are the Windows-based Isadora Wizards. Perhaps one of you can provide insight?

Any clues how to optimise Isadora 3 on a Mac?

 Hi,

This might be supper obvious, but I have had issues running Isadora with other apps open on the same machine - namely Microsoft Office programs and there is the old chestnut of the Adobe Creative Cloud conflict that may be an issue for High Sierra.

@citizenjoe thanks for the info, very nice page! I was afraid that my machine had some issue, fortunately it isn't the case. I would like that the sound player had the same features that the movie player... and the windows version these of the mac! Cheers, AZ.

I bit the bullet, sold the Z820 and am going to stick my current 5960x workstation into a 4U shorty case with a 1080 and assign it double duty as a render node and traveler workstation. While less portable than a laptop (I work 99% of the time in Toronto), I have become increasingly interested in (obsessed with) Isadora and think this change will make for a very sizable change in performance. Thanks again @DusX for the information you shared. 

I could only find a posting on this topic in the forum from 2012:

http://troikatronix.com/troika...

Is it still correct that a Mac Pro with a faster CPU will provide Isadora with better performance than a Mac Pro with more cores but a slower CPU speed? ...assuming the GPU, RAM and SSD speeds are the same on both computers?

Specifically, would Isadora work faster with a 3.5GHz 6-core Intel Xeon E5 Mac Pro compared to a  3.0GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5 Mac Pro, both using the

Dual AMD FirePro D700?

thank you,

Don

Added a bit to my original post about using the Data Array actor with textfiles, containing my controller and note values, to map my midi controller to parameters. It is a super useful actor that made quick work of mapping the controllers, and allowed for flexibility in making changes.
