@artoo Great solution. Many thanks!

@eager-iguana

Hello, you ca still download the 2.79 version of Blender

https://download.blender.org/r...

With it you can open .obj, .abc or .fbx object and export it as .3ds

Be aware of problems of axis, scale or material but, globaly it works and its free (I am not sure about M1 Macs, to be tested…)

@jfg

Nice, thank you!

I am trying to find a plugin for Isadora that will act like a realtime Smudge Tool / Wet Paint effect.

The closest I've found is this shadertoy.com idea: https://www.shadertoy.com/view...

I have been able to get some curious outputs from copying this shader into two different GLSL actors and chaining them - but its not working properly. 

Any help on figuring out how to do this with the shader or any other way would be awesome.

I thought the cost of the USB key would dictate a higher price point

@DusX , bonemap is actually correct about this. An Isadora 3 USB Key License does cost more than an Isadora 3 Perpetual License. If I recall correctly, it's set up this way (with the USB Key added as part of the shipping cost) so that we can apply an academic discount to the base cost of the license without the discount applying to the cost TroikaTronix pays for the shipping and the USB Key (which we sell for essentially the same price we buy them for).

Now I got permision to sell my Isadora 3 License for new owner so it for sale now for 400 € 0 % VAT.

You can buy it with PayPal payment or wire tranfer invoice with IBAN/BIC.

Please contact to sales@spinundergroundrecords.fi if you want buy my license.

Hi, I solved the issue by setting blocked file to trusted ones.

<p>Thank you @jfg, didn't know about this one.<br /></p><p>@mark_m, I was looking for something, which is doing the same like the ctrl + e shortcut (Input menu -> 'Start live capture'</p>

 Yes, @jfg has given you your answer: it's the Capture Control actor that you want!

 Hi Russel.

Thanks a lot for the resources, they work like a charm!.

Ferney

Before the NI plugin was available -- we used Syphon to capture the Kinect information into Isadora.

Good luck. 

Here is a video from 6 years ago showing how this worked.

@dusx

thanks a lot for your very useful supplement. Since I have always used the Actor OSC Multi Listener, I had not paid any attention to the fact that when renumbering the ports, Isadora jumped for e.g. from 4 to 6 when there were two values at 4.

Thanks again

thanks @jfg @bonemap . Reassured to find it's not just me, though disappointed there's no apparent solution at the moment. Let's hope for some expansion in this area in future updates...

@aline

its probably better to use different Movie Players in the same scene and trigger them according to when you need each movie to play. You can add Video Mixers or Selectors between Movie Players and your Projector(s) and trigger values to these using various methods, such as Envelope Generator, Trigger Delay or Comparator.
If you initialise the speed of each Movie Player to zero, it will not play until you trigger a value of 1 to it.

@woland

Hi L,

A 3d model file of a Brain neuron, decimated for use in Isadora with rights approval from https://eyewire.org - Not a waveform but a great asset associated with brain anatomy. Let me know if you are interested.

Best wishes

Russell

@woland

Hi, I found a solution to but Traktor Kontrol to Maschine MK3 input with RCA and Plug Adapter.

@merni

I've already got a feature request logged about actors that interact with Q#'s, so I'll add this to it.

@Vidasonik 

You can also use the OSC Transmit/Receive and OSC Multi Transmit/Receive actors to send data between computers on the same network (so long as you know the right IP address for each computer)

@peter this night not be the easiest thing to do. You can programmatically control the screen brightness on iOS see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8936999/how-can-we-programmatically-change-the-brightness-of-the-iphone-screen

you could make a very simple iOS app that runs as a background service and accepts an OSC message from isadora. OpenFrameworks comes with an osc example for iOS, if you add the needed objective c code from page above you are almost there. You just need background activity. 

Hi there @hagaizenberg,

If you wish to apply an effect to all your stages, I would use a Broadcaster and Receiver and a concept that we like to call a Master Scene. You can also use a virtual stage (Stage Setup > Add an Virtual stage). This is basically a virtual screen that you can grab again with the actor "Get Stage Image"

@jfg Thank you so much for quick reply! I actually discovered this myself after sending the question. Thanks for confirming the simple technique.

Cheers, David
