Thanks @bonemap for pointing that out, and thanks to the wonderful @gunther for making such a helpful tool ❤

I've seen it on the plugin page and I've been meaning to try it out myself for some time now. Maybe today is finally the day 🙂

Best wishes,

Woland

@woland

exactly and perhaps easier to do an equivalent to "Get URL Text" an actor "Send URL". I use at this time the QC Webbrowser to send command to a PTZ Camera but sometime this old QC actor crashes without any reason.

I hate Apple for this yearly OS change. No time to work on other things (sound , etc…)

The return problem in different controls is solved for me on Mojave.

Thanks for all

Jean-François

cheers @deflost the Note Off Watcher actor does the trick

rgds, Mr J

First of all, thanks very much to everyone who answered, that's what I love about this forum.

Special thanks to @Woland for your long and specific answer.

I've been doing some testing on these things, I post what I found in case somebody else finds it useful:

- The error in 2.6.1 was indeed caused by my 3D models, but not by the file itself, rather than the path. For some reason, if I put the 3D files in my desktop, Isadora has no trouble, but whenever the files are inside any folder, the error window pops up.

- The mouse watcher error only happens with an imported 2.6.1 patch. The mouse watcher works as expected in Izzy 3 if you make a new patch, but it doesn't if you open an old file. Maybe if I was able to save it (updating it in the process) it would behave correctly afterwards, but I have no way of knowing this... yet.

- As for the Blur taking up a lot of CPU usage, I found out that a missing FreeFrame plugin could be the actual problem. After I installed the FFMotionBlur (which was in the 32-bit plugins folder but not in the 64-bit one) the scene runs in Izzy 3 more or less the same way than in Izzy 2.

Thanks again everybody. I think I will be updating to Isadora 3 very soon, since it's clearer now than the problems were more closely related to using Izzy 2 in Mojave and I really want to try some of the new features (like Blind Mode and such). Cheers.

Thanks for your help, I use the actor smoother and so far moving my sphere is smoother. Thanks again and see you soon. Thierry.

Yes that's true it works without the trigger value actor, but only to activate the button, except you invert the values of the button. Trigger value gives you direct control to what state the button should be.

@notdoc

...and part of the problem is that i fail to read to the end of the tutorial where some important scene-control stuff gets explained... a lesson for the future 🙂

You can create a fisheye lens effect with the 3D Stage Orientation actor. It has a FOV property that simulates a camera lens. There are other camera controls there as well. It requires a 3D object - perhaps 3D Quad or 3D Projector with a Virtual Stage routed to it. I know it is not as simple as a pass through video actor, but just so you know it is there.

I got a question yesterday about how to do dome projections and it turns out that fisheye effects are a great solution for that, which led me to re-discover this topic. 

I'm performing this act of thread necromancy because I've made an example file based on what the ever-brilliant @bonemap wrote here: fisheye-using-3d-actors-2023-11-17-3.2.6.zip

Hi, those are great solutions and I didn't realise Isadora could do that. I have some ideas regarding linking multiple eyes together to lock on to the eye shape and then put a cluedo cutout over with a gaussian mask. Have attempted a couple of versions attached sans eyes prior to this. Obv foreground faces not always more luminant than background and a variety of other problems inherent in a non machine vision approach. ndi fakebg.izzndi fakebg2.izz

Ultimately for our application we're going for zero user requirements so trying to avoid asking the user to do anything. However, it could be possible to gamify this step in the interim as an onboarding... Thanks!

hi , 

sorry my bad, it was the nano control 2 macro that is all wired with comparators that was trigger all envelopes... I have to clean my version of it regarding my use...
maybe you can delete this post now !

@dusx thanks I've opened it but lots of infos there, I need to take more time to understand it more deeply;-)

Open a support ticket, and we can have a look at the font. It may be something specific about the font. This is not a common issue.

Belated thanks for this session, and thanks so much for answering my questions. Really appreciated. Look forward to seeing you again when the Guru sessions resume!

Hi @nandada 

The data array is going to be very helpful for what you want to do. I would suggest you determine where your data is coming from and what form it is in. One thing about ocean tides is that there are a number of variables, for example location, time and height. So you would need to consider how to represent the data in a way that is appealing for you and your audience (you may already have that worked out). What are all the variables you want to use? There are parameters you could add such as water temperature, wave height ... so the diversity of data can be interesting to increase/decrease to recreate sonically or visually.

You can access data on the internet through data providers such as those listed as free API sources in this GitHub: https://github.com/public-apis/public-api

Storm Glass has a free plan for up to 50 data requests per day, after that it gets expensive: https://stormglass.io/

It is then about your patch configuration to make sense of how to work with the data collection over time - and this is where the Data Array can be implemented.

If you are interested I have made a demonstration patch that has used free open data from online sources. You are welcome to download it here: https://community. https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis.com/topic/6591/sharing-a-demo-patch-getting-and-parsing-data-from-api-url-s

It requires the JSON Parser plugin provided by @mark here: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/6503/json-parser-actor-for-macos-and-windows-public-beta

Kind Regards

Russell

(I used one CI actor, so unfortunately it's Mac-only, you'll also need the TroikaTronix FFGL Plugins: https://troikatronix.com/plugin/tt-ffgl-for-isadora-2-3/)

@bonemap Thank you for your detailed response! I understand your point about the difficulty of sharing examples or creating them. In any case, the personal examples you have told me help me to understand better. I will investigate the manual to have a more complete picture.

Best,

nice to have it this way, but what about the other directon?

 What other direction? Typing and having it translated to morse code? Like this?

Watching Guru Session #4 reminded me of this Feature Request, which although you agreed to implement this, has not yet been implemented.
So I am just bumping this up!

Thanks a lot
