Hi,

I've been experiencing an issue when I use the quartz composer effects or any effect that has a vid CI as the playback engine I get a blank screen entirely. Like it would go from displaying a movie or a picture on my stage to just black when I add CI-kalida for example and even when I would check the little preview on the link it would show a empty transparency grid. I tried a bunch of different actors and a bunch of different combinations of ci to gpu or GPU to ci but it definitely seemed like anything that went through a ci or QC effect just doesn't work. I did a little bit of research and I'm wondering if it has something to do with the lack of a separate graphics card in the new m1 products?  I haven't been able to find another example of this issue on the forum so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.   I love these effects and would hate to lose them. 

I'm on a M1 MAX MacBook pro 

 Love you guys/gals/NBs!

Thanks!

Very nice tracking and particle work. I have to say I did not see anything in your video that could not be done with Isadora native particle generators. If you want more sophisticated repel and attract parameters look at the 3D Model Particles module. It has very capable options for the style of particle systems that you are designing and are particularly effective when responding to tracking data. The tool set has been enhanced for this purpose about 18 months ago.

Best wishes

Can you share what the issue/solution was so that other might learn from your experience?

Thanks so much for the update news !!!

so quartz composer from vervione 3.0.3 will return to being able to produce actors for isadora ???

I will definitely consider the 3DS option for the cube.

Regards
See you soon
