Hi,

I am preparing three hard surfaces for projection and wondering about ‘high gain’ projection surface paint. Has anyone experience with paint products that they can recommend or critique?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Best wishes

Hi there,I am presently setting up a small map to trace a person with the 3D particles actor.
For some reason presently and yesterday, I have found that it will only draw a dot if the x/y coordinate is = 0, if I change that, to another number, there is no particle appearing. The z is -1 so that should not be the problem. Is there a bug? or am I doing something wrong? It has worked before for me, but not now...
All the best Eva

Hi

What is the most reliable way of Ableton Live triggering events in Isadora? The setup will be two MacBook Pros (10.15.7) one running Ableton Live the other with Isadora controlling video.

Many thanks

Hi,

for those who might need a sound player with positional marker points, I enclose a working test patch.

for my latest project I pimped up the sound player actor with Javascript in order to allow jumps to markers and allow a positional slider (like other players as vlc). My new project is completely driven by audio positions of one piece of music. The marker positions drive the whole setting of video and light changes. 

For setup and rehearsal I need to jump to specific positions in the music. So I designed the marker actor to jump to the exact position, and also to jump to the position 2 seconds before the marked position.

For testing purpose I extracted the relevant parts of the patch and added simple projections as proof of concept. Just use an audio file of your flavor and have fun with test sound player advance .

Hi,
I have an Arduino sending an OSC-signal, and I am trying to find out how to recieve it in Isadora. I watched the video about OSC, but that is using touch OSC. Do I need an external program, or can I recieve the OSC signal in Isadora if I have a network that is sending it?
The arduino is sending via UDP on the network, so question is, how to recieve that in Isadora?
Thanks
All the best

I have a usb midi device coming from an ETC ION

When the cues on the ION are taken to quickly in succession and the cues in Isadora don't have enough time to complete they don't take the latest cue and get stuck and Isadora stops responding to midi. Is there a way to have Isadora have a latest takes priority setting for triggering midi cues or do I have to make my fade times shorter so that all my cues finish before the lighting cues so that this problem stops.

Hello folks, 

I am trying to create video layer which looks like dynamic abstract painting, but when sensor is triggered there is a stop time/freeze/ bypass (depends what actor) and I see concrete picture. I can not really see accumulation of movement and decay of shapes and colors in smooth way. I see lot of chopped pics with occasional some smoother transition. Which means, either I am doing something very wrong, or it is bit difficult. 

Thanks for help.

I thought it was a simple patch: Pulse (24 - 100Hz+) -> Random -> Limit Scale -> Float to Integer -> Pic player -> Motion Blur  ( Accum and Decay  I tested various levels; I tested also Gaussian) -> Projector = does not work!

Hello,

I am trying to caputre a camera during a show, and replay it afterwards. Or actually, I am trying to capture single images every 3 seconds and then replay it as a movie.

Isadora crashes randomly while capturing the images (sometimes earlier, sometimes later).
I replaced the idea of single images and tried capturing the camera as a movie. Isadora crashes in the moment I stop the recording.

The movie itself is playable afterwards. So I guess there is a conflict in adding it to the project, while others things are running. I tried capturing a little bit without anything else going on, and it didn't crash.

Any idea what else I can do or try to find the conflict and/or avoid it?

Thank you.

I’ve been having an issue with Isadora crashing a lot lately on a show. I’m running two blended projectors with PJlink commands, MSC triggers from an Ion with a USB Midi device.

The majority of the show never goes above 25% and the live feed I keep off when not needed and activate it when needed. 

I’ve tried optimizing as much as I can including using HAP files @ 30fps, staggering projector network commands, turning live capture on and off. And when I run through the show cue by cue it seems fine.

However, MSC was tested during preshow and worked and then 2 cues into the show it stopped working. This also happened during preshow and was fixed. I did notice that Isadora was still seeing a Midi event because the dot next to the midi label would flash when the light board cues were taken but Isadora would not change or go to the next cue. Turning Isadora on/off did not help, the only thing that did momentarily was restarting the computer until Isadora stopped taking MSC triggers again.

Also Isadora crashed today and did not show an Isadora crash screen, just nothing. Isadora also crashed 3 cues into the show.

Running all this on an MSI gaming laptop, see specs and OS below.

Hi, I'm currently am wanting to transmit OSC from a PC to a Mac, both running Isadora and connected via ethernet cable. I used to do this okay way back in 2010 but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working with my current setup. I have different static IP addresses on each machine (though am a little rusty setting this up in windows 10). I'm guessing I missed a step. Is there an online guide for this?

thanks
