      Hi guys

      is it possible in Isadora (Actor, Actor-combination) to move an object (Picture) along a path (like in After Effects for Example??). I have to produce stuff where a simple shape is moving on a predefined path.
      Regards Birdhouse

        I would use MouseWatcher(or whatever tool) to write the path coordinates into DataArray and recall these to construct path in Envelope and run path into Projector position.

          Not like after effects, ie; via keyframes no.

          But you can do very similar with envelope ++ actor.
          Hope this helps.

              I made this rough path recorder with 26 points not using DataArray but writing direct into Envelope++. Press r to reset, then on active scene window make path by clicking desired points(26) and press a to run object on the path.

              It works from the end to the beginning - so needs some more work, but I have no more time.

                great vanakaru thanks a lot i will have a look at it.

                in the meantime i made it quick and dirty. tracking movement from a video with eyes actor and the let the object follow the movement.

                  You could also send in data from software like http://www.duration.cc/

                    i will have a look at it Skulpture.

                    Try to use as less programs as i can during a live performance (means, try to do as much as i can with isadora) to limit possible error sources.
                    thanks for the replies

                      If the path is really pre-defined why not render it in After effects???

                      Otherwise the DataArray actor is the go- you can feed the data with Duration (this will really help as it lets you create smooth curves and tween between values)- you can use it to record edit and create the data, then record the data into the data array for play back - meaning you dont have to use it live just for producing the path.
