Re: [PD] Sending Textures
Hi Hans, thanks - it does work! what had changed was that pix_texture wouldn't do anything untill it was in a gem chain (which it didn't need in .39, but was probably an accidental 'feature') I realised after posting that i forgot my technical details, then got it working (and also realised there are soo many combos that problems can be hard to reproduce (esp with linux, seems to have an order of magnitude more combinations than osy?/windoze) 2008/10/14 Hans-Christoph Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that should work on 0.40.3.

[PD] video processing removing feedback
hi all, I would like some advice, i wish to track objects using a video camera and pd/gem (easy enough) but I would then like to project video into that same space, but avoid it interfering with the video object processing. is there some simple way to do: (live video) - (gem generated video) = video used for blob tracking ?

[PD] int.lib for PD? (interpolating between numerous preset values)
Hi Pders, I recently saw a presentation by a fellow using Max and he was using int.lib that allowed using a 2D space populated with presets, and as he moved a marker around the space int.lib would smoothly interpolate all the values in the various presets depending on the distance from their markers in the 2D space he was using it to set up 'moods' for effecting the audio, so he had more of a conductor role than an individual musician role when controlling his patch I was wondering if there is anything like this for PD (interpolation of groups of values) -- Joseph Barrows live video performance; web site design; new media artist jjbarrows.artwww.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] re-using texture data without re-loading (across subpatches)
hi, is there a way to re-use a texture (without reloading) across multiple subpatches? i am using a modification of a pmpd example that uses constructor.pd to create a large collection of objects (each as its own subpatch) now i would like to texture the objects, but so far adding texture to the i3d.pd template patch makes it load up the same image several hundred times (wastefull using an image, hopeless if i want to use a movie as a texture) -joseph -- Joseph Barrows live video performance; web site design; new media artist jjbarrows.artwww.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] linux sound architecture
hi, this is not strictly PD; can someone inform me how sound works in linux ? i am very confused about alsa, jack, pulse, oss, hardware device name, I dont use audio a lot, but would love audio to work on my machine. today PD cant connect to any audio (in or out) yesterday the mic input was stuck feeding through the speakers (without PD) but PD could get input (with a lot of noise). I want it to 'just work' ie all apps can access the inputs and all apps can access the outputs (mixed). ideally there would also be the option of a PD like patching environment to re-patch a programs output to become another programs input (EG cd-audio out -- pd-audio in (fun patch)-- hardware line out though even better would be such a system for video (eg: mandelbrot program video -- PD/gem -- hardware output) -- Joseph Barrows live video performance; web site design; new media artist jjbarrows.artwww.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

[PD] automated subpatch creation
Hi Pd'ers, i've seen some examples where a PD patch creates it's own subpatches on load (or on bang), but havent seen anything in the documentation about it, is there a tute or some details on howto do this i can read up on and refer to while patching? my aim is to create a large bunch of gem/pmpd objects, with slightly varying characteritics (ie: texture map, gem text, physical properties). they will not be created all at once, but need to be done as inputs come into PD (new text file at the moment - though on that point, is there a HTTP API for PD? or not necessarily http). thanks, Joseph -- Joseph Barrows live video performance; web site design; new media artist jjbarrows.artwww.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] pd extended build environment
use ffmpeg : no (forced) hmm, maybe i should compile it myself then probably not. ffmpeg support in Gem is not something i would consider stable. (the API is changing so fast...) i'll leave it out - stability is even more important than reading wide range of video formats (i can transcode video, having PD vanish in the middle of a performance is very bad form - happened 4 times last night) my system reports the standard pix_film:: quicktime support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support pix_film:: libaviplay support though i think i do want ffmpeg (i think someone mentioned it would enable support for .flv files) i see, does it help if you create a table-of-contents first? iirc, there is a tool mpeg3toc which will create TOC from an mpeg-file which can then be fed into [pix_film] to allow frame accurate accessing of mpeg-files (and probably the exact number of frames in the file). otoh, it seems that this has stopped working some time ago... probably you should just check. i seem to remember using the TOC when i first started using gem, but yes, it did stop working and i havent checked for some time. gem still causes PD to completely die when given a video file it doesn't like. which is not fine. i suspect that it is libmpeg1 (if it is really used; check out which APIs are really supported when creating the first [pix_film]) - this library is highly unstable; it's only in the code in case libmpeg3 is missing and you still want to decode mpeg-files. thanks, i'll try removing mpeg (guess i'll have to compile my own, oh well, since i'm going to do that any ideas how i would go about making Gem use opengl 1.5 instead of 2 (which i think it does now), i want to use it with chromium, which insists on opengl 1.5 the crashing is more random than i thought (sometimes happens with video files that worked a few minutes earlier) (some of the crashes were due to one of my subpatches, that i removed last night, but i think that was the part causing the GUI lockups - it was giving a lot of stack overflow messages) ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
