Working with isadora, for a show like this, is like painting with moving images. I love it.

 I hear you!

Hi,

The 3D models have been rigged in 3D animation software. The model has been saved as a new mesh file for each pose in the animation cycle. For example, a walk cycle is made up of eight key poses - foot fall and cross over on each side with arms following opposite.  Therefore, the 3D media bin has a series of 3ds files that make up the sequential poses of the animated model. It is then just a simple implementation of a Counter actor replacing the mesh file to create the illusion of continuous internal movement of the model. 

So there it is - effective but inefficient and ultimately very limited. But it does help to fire the imagination and glimpse what a future might be like, in terms of 3D animation and real- time rendering etc.

Always searching for new ways to extend from what appears to be a limitation in Isadora.

I just want the software to be great and find another level of interaction.

Hi everyone,

You know how the CI projector doesn't have a spin parameter?
Is there a CI actor i can use to rotate the image before i send it to the projector?
Thanks.

@luciedance pm me maybe we can organise something

@topherbb

Here, see if either of these solutions work for you.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to Isadora and trying to use a Kinect to create some projects where I can interact with other objects in the space. I've followed the Isadora Kinect tutorial using Processing and have gotten the skeleton appear in my projection, but I'm struggling on how to get the skeleton to potentially interact with other objects in the space (such as shapes). 

It doesn't seem as if there are any actors that detect either edges or collisions. I had thought about using a comparator to see when the skeleton and shapes had the same positions (which would indicate a collision at which point I could change the trajectory of the shape) but it seems position is only an input and not an output that can be tied to a conditional. I had also thought about getting the position data of the skeleton from Processing (since the figure turns blue once in frame so the data is there) but I'm not exactly sure how to transfer it over to Isadora. 

Is there a method to create something interactive involving collisions with the Kinect using Isadora and potentially Processing?

Thanks.

I meant the Texture Map, since its defined in Cols and Rows, I think of it as a tile. (basically a sprite sheet: https://gamedevelopment.tutspl...)
Anyway, I was just suggesting that it could be made dynamically within Isadora. 'Matte++' might be a good actor to use to build such a grid.

Can real time audio spectrum wave could be achieved? https://www.shutterstock.com/v...

Love it mate. It is a nice track got to say.

A similar vibe but using 3D Model Particles (with no 3D model!) 

Hi Clement, I have the same problem. Did you got the problem solved?

A little late to the party, but I recently worked with John Toenjes of The Laboratory for Audience Interactive Technologies using their Mosho app to send audio, video, trigger vibrate, flash screen, etc. to audience cell phones, pretty similar to @eight 's app.  They were super helpful, their documentation was straight forward, and cues were easy to tweak.  While it wasn't quite as successful as I would have liked, it had more to do with not fully explaining to the audience how to interact with the app, rather than the app itself.  Overall, it was a great first experiment...

I sometimes take a color to rgb and a color maker rgb and link them together and manipulate the rgb values individually between. You can make a fade with 'effects this way.

Thank you!
Best wishes,

Thanks Ryan. I'll work with your solution!  - John

Following an old text based tutorial I had written a few years ago (Isadora V1, and CPU only) this new Tutorial walks you thru building a fun little component that I refer to as a Video Step Sequencer.
~20 mins to build this gem. 

Build Art with Isadora.

Not bad at all !

Thanks @Maximortal

Is this assumption correct?

 Yes. That's right. If you choose a render speed that is < 100%, every time based function in Isadora is slowed down proporionally (i.e., Wave Generators, Envelope Generators, Trigger Delay, et. al.) This gives Isadora more time to generate every frame and thus should result in full and accurate frame rates. The only caveat is that you cannot have real-time input because it is not slowed down proporionally.

Best Wishes,
Mark

thanks Ryan!

to get a video to move with the skeleton

 I am not fully sure what you mean by this. There is no way to direct link a video (a 2d plane) to a 3d skeleton from the kinect. Do you have any examples or research inspiration we can reference?

@bc131

Nifty! My solution is part of a system I built a couple years before Isadora's integrated MSC Scene Number feature. I'll have to update it now.
