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

@mark you did it great !!! Thank you for all you've done.

(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/)

@crystalhorizon and @Woland Thank you very much !!

Best,

@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.

Bezier Curve Particle System Tutorial

Hi,

I am making this tutorial and file set available to the community. I would love to see what can be made with this visually and conceptually.

Bezier Curve Particle System links to a .PDF file description/tutorial of the prototype development.

Demonstration Isadora File links to an .IZZ file with the functioning prototype.

This might be useful for educators looking for interesting Isadora tutorials for their students.

Best Wishes
Russell

Hi,

You will need to submit a support ticket making the request to join the OPenNi beta testing program. I am assuming that you have a Isadora 3 license because it will only work if you have that?

Best wishes

Russell

Dear @woland thank you for all your support !

@skulpture Looking forward to see your recreation. I somehow lost it in snapshots as my patch evolved.

@dusx

thanks! I am going through it.

Wow! I just found your tutorial this morning. I've been tinkering with the 3D Particle Actor forever and not not making any progress. I will study your tutorial. Thank you.

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.

Hi there all,

Please use the new official plugin for Isadora 3 instead 🙂 Works as a charm, Mark did a fantastic job on it with the input of the community.

The OP will be here for Isadora 2.6.x users.

@crystalhorizon I take this opportunity to tell you that here in Buenos Aires we have been making meetings every fifteen days, throughout 2017, as a production technology laboratory for the scene. Something similar to your meeting in Vienna but with greater continuity. The participants are all the students of the workshops of Isadora that we made during this year and want to continue developing artistic projects under our guide. On December 2, the works will be shown as a closing of the Laboratory.

Estimados colegas y amigos !

Desde la Red Isadora Latina queremos contarles que están disponibles los tres primeros videos tutoriales sobre el software Isadora en español. http://www.redisadoralatina.co...

Esta serie de videos tutoriales pretenden acercarlos al mundo del software Isadora. Para el primer tutorial nos pareció mejor comenzar por mostrarles algunas de las muchas posibilidades que nos brinda este programa respecto de la creación de visuales en tiempo real. Este video fue hecho íntegramente con Isadora, sin cortes ni proceso de edición.

Los tutoriales 2 y 3 abordan las configuraciones básicas, la interfaz gráfica y los actores

También está disponible para descargar el primer patch introductorio sobre las funciones básicas del software. http://www.redisadoralatina.com/index.php/descargas/

Nos gustaría saber sus áreas de interés para tener en cuenta en futuros videos tutoriales y patches. Ojalá les guste !!

Queremos agradecerle a Mark Coniglio, creador del software Isadora, por su constante apoyo a la Red Isadora Latina. Tambien a la bailarina y coreógrafa Maida Withers por su ayuda, y a Dawn Marie Stoppiello por su interés y colaboración en este proyecto.

 Saludos cordiales,

RIL
