More Gem help for Blockhead-Me please?
by Wade McDaniel 25 Mar '04

25 Mar '04

Hello pd-listers~ I was hoping someone could tell me if pix_data can read from a openGl chain (e.g. from the rasterization frame) or if it only works with objects like pix_video? Im writing a patch that will eventually read from a pix_video object and map that onto a cube that fills the screen, and read pixeldata from that, but as I dont have my camera now, I want to test my patch by moving a cube around in 3-space and testing the fields of pixels the patch is looking at in the window. I cant get any data from pix_data with a white cube sitting right in the middle of the window. I tried x:400 y:300 (screen dimentions are 800x600) and x:0.5 y:0.5, both failed. I have the chain hooked up as follows: [gemhead] [translateXYZ] [pix_data] [cube] and I tried: [gemhead] [translateXYZ] | \ [cube] [pix_data] both failed... Also, B. Bogart said that I can change the bounding box of gem by using the [view< message. Whats the syntax for that message? Thanks for the help B and everyone! -wadeislost

GEM Newbie questions on interface, reaction time, stability
by Andreas Niemand 25 Mar '04

25 Mar '04

Hi ! I am very new to PD, not everything is quite clear in the whole thing to me, also some errors occur in using it. I am using macosx 10.2.8 on a ibook 700 (G3) and tcl/TK 8.4 ( i think it's 8.4.1.). My version of pd is 0.37. Sometimes pd/gem quits unexpected while performing via "bus error" or interface problems ( i don't remember the exact shell-output). Why ? How many times can the same movie of pix_film be connected to different geometrical objects? How many movies in general can be handled simultaneous in a setup? It seems that the tcl/tk-interface is reacting slower and slower over time using it (creating a window, clicking some sliders, destroying it. creating it again... etc)? how does the different things belong together ? pd : the main language gem: the graphic extension to pd pdp ? pidip ? zexy ? freeframe ? paradiddle: an graphical extension to pd is that right ? who does the questionmarked things fit in ? How are the dependencies? Einen wunderschoenen Tag wuenscht Andreas http://www.ein-schoener-tag.de - Dinge des Alt-Tags.

nForce chipset
by Malte Steiner 25 Mar '04

25 Mar '04

Hello, beside me is a box from Shuttle with a nForce chipset. It features somehow 5.1 sound and I wounder if its possible to use these channel as actual ones from PD, either under Linux or WinXP. So far I can only use 2 channels with PD. Anyway, this barebonesystem seems a decent solution for media exhibitions, the SN41G2 features apart from the soundcard a ready installed graphic system with 2 vga outputs, one of them also as TV/Video out. I managed so far running two instances of PD and GEM on 2 monitors although only one seems to be hardware accelareted. Later I try to have GEM and Framestein running, maybe GEM takes OpenGL hardware and Framestein direct x, if anyone interested I can report. I am not related to these companys and get nothing for the praise but maybe it can be changed :). This system is rather cheap, has small footprint and looks beautiful, sort of Apple Cube ripoff in aluminium. I evalute with WinXP so far, a Mandrakeinstallation failed a bit, refusing to use the onboard LAN. Right now I am downloading the Knoppix CD to give it a further try. My goal is to have a decent rig of machines for an upcomming exhibition. But as a 'private' artist, budget is a concern. I would like to have some Apple computers around me but they are still to expensive. I considerd buying some stuff on ebay but prices even for older G3 boxes went close or higher as the new silver box beside me. Apple seems to be pretty solid investment. Besides that the midsize tower formfactor is of course big and so expensive to ship to a remote gallery. In my personal dreamland Apple Cubes where a big success, wide spread and you can get them used for 50 bucks. I see I start babbling :) So I stop that and wish a nice weekend.

PDA PD + GPS
by derek holzer 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

Hi all, I have a few questions about PDA PD: 1) What is the minimum spec for running PD under Linux on a palmtop? 2) Has anybody seen a way to get information from a GPS device into PD? My idea is to have a PDA running Linux + PD which can take acoustic samples at regular space/time intervals and tag them with GPS coordinates. Even the most general suggestions are welcome, but if somebody else has already figured this out, I'd really like to talk to you soon. Best, Derek -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 118: "Make what's perfect more human"
