Hi MichaelMany thanks for the pointers and the help.All now works perfectly.I have been a long time fan of Isadora and have only just come back into the realm of it due to a new job. I do appreciate the effort and advice I have received. It has been very helpful and has made me look good to a lot of people...:)!Thanks again.Eamon

@dbengali said: publish the blend mode (transparent, additive, opaque) for elements of IzzyMap mappings.  At the moment, it seems the only solution to have multiple blend modes for one mapping is to make separate copies of this mapping and manually change the blend mode for each.  However, if one has encapsulated the mapping in a user actor so that it can apply to an entire show, one must manually copy and paste mappings back into the other blend mode versions, and manually change the blend mode again.It would be amazing if we could just use an input parameter on a scene by scene basis to use the same user-actor-contained mapping with different blend modes.  I have logged this feature request in our sheet

you're welcome. i use the Video Fader into Multimix combination regularly - often linked directly to the slider channels of a Korg NanoKontrol. the slightly confusing thing about it is that at zero it lets the video stream through, but at 100 its fully faded across to the background colour, so i tend to swap the MIN and MAX values so it works more like a hardware mixer.

@juriaanI was just testing and playing around on the patch you sent me. I copied and pasted the actor in the patch.@jhoepffner They had DHCP on so had the same subnet and ip class on the same network. I will be testing it again later today to see if it was something stupid on my side.ThanksAndy

Thanks a lot for the quick response. I guess, I better keep coordinates and "offset" separated... ;o) Best regards, T.

@dillthekraut That looks brilliant.All these suggestions look great. It took a while for responses to come so I didn't realise anyone had responded but I've just finished touring my last project and started on the one with the interactive walls. I've got a lot of tech and experimentation to begin but this is a fantastic starting point. I got a kinnect for £8 and a webcam and am away from home for 2 months so I'll have a play with those then try out the Pi/Arduino/touchboard suggestions in the new year. I'll share my progress.

@skulpture Thanks very much!
