Motion Control Particles (e-motion software)
-
As far as I recall (I have been checking on eMotion for some years) Adrien do not use this app per-se for his projects. It is just one version of the custom software he uses given to general public. Maybe to chew on or be inspired by.
When I first saw his work and learned about the eMotion I was very exited to get that tool to fill my needs. But I never got anywhere with it and since then I have become happy with Isadora, OSCulator, Junxion and shifted my focus accordingly. -
@vanakaru thanks for mentioning junxion. jamie introduced it in a workshop and i"ve so forgotten to look at it further.
-
Junxion is very powerful sensor(HID, camera, Wii, Arduino, audio OSC) to MIDI and OSC converter. There are video tutorials to most basics. Great fun!

happy new year to all from the Amazon forest,
don't know junxion but I'm already searching for it, connection permitting.... -

hi folks, i came up with a few nice motion controlled particle systems for the final show, i wil share the patch and explain a bit of it tonight if anyone is interested still.
-
i am, sorry i"ve been off with a girl discussing an essay, only now seen your post.
-
Yes, very interested. -

Anyone ever used Plask?
http://www.plask.org/Could be a good alternative to eMotion? Seems to be a lot more documentation on Plask than eMotion that's all as not many of seem to be getting anywhere fast with it.http://vimeo.com/27737392 -
@Skulpture thank you for sharing about plask. it's new to me. maybe if i get snowed in over the weekend i can use the time to catch up with all the new info :)

here is the particle system i ended up with, it's kind of messy. you should load in a movie and a .png for the paticles of your choice and of course you have to turn on video input, i hope this helps someone

Dear Colleagues,
I search a solution to make emotion working with isadora from several years. I had somme success with OSC to modify some parameters as "oscillation" or "gravity" in emotion from isadora but i never succeeded with "animation tool". It seems that tuio messages coming from isadora are not recognized by emotion.
After a look on messages sended by reactivision, i succeed tonight. If some of you are looking for the solution, this is how i did :First, i created the patch in isadora.
I wrote a patch in PureData wich receive informations from isadora and format for tuio protocol.
Launch Emotion. Create a particle grid (experimetal/FX => create textured particle). Show tuio tool (tools=>tuio) and mouve mouse on a stage in isadora (it works with mouse, so it could work with everything else with x/y coordinates). The data should be recognized. Click the checkbox on tuio tool in emotion and affect the datas to "animation".
All the files are attached. A video can be seen here : http://www.frvaillant.com/videos/emotion-cellulaire.m4vBest Wishes

This is very interesting. Good investigation.Could you post the rest of the files(better if you zip all of them). -
Yes of course. I'll do this on monday evening. Can't do it before.
-
I recreated the Pd patch and I get eMotion to react somewhat. But I have problems with eMotion crashing. So a saved eMotion patch would be really helpful to troubleshoot mine. If I can open it without a crash obviously. e84a76-emotionosc.pd.zip
-
I am getting on with eMotion using the method I learned from my son. You just press any button and hope for reaction. If it gets out of hand you pull the plug and start over again. I with there would be more intelligent way to do this.
-
Sorry for the delay,
I'm afraid E-motion often crashes. But, in the tests i did, it didn't. You'll find my files here.
Sincerely
