[GEM] problems with pix
by yasmin ahmad 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi, I'm trying to load an .AVI file in a Gem window and the play it a different frame rates. This should be simple but the only movies that seem to work are the ones that came bundled with the GEM examples. I have updated to gem_0.90.1 (03/08/2004), although when I load Gem it still says version 0.90.0; I'm sure I've put it in the correct directory. I am running pd.037, on Win2K, I have an Indeo codec v5.10 so that shouldn't cause any problems. I have also tried with pd.038, and with WinXP - the same problem keeps happening: the file loads (according to the "verbose" option) then when I turn the rendering on pd crashes. The errors seem to be memory allocation errors - they don't appear when I run pd with the "verbose" option. I hope someone can help me because I've pretty much exhausted all the solutions I've found in the archives.

Newb: Problems cutting connections in edit mode
by Rob Bennett 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Hi - I'm attempting to join the Pure Data revolution. A major impedance is my inability to disconnect patch cords in edit mode. The documentation leads me to believe that if I mouse over a patch cord and see the hand change to an X, a further click will disconnect the objects / messages / etc. I see the X, and I click, but the cable simply turns blue (highlighted) and stays put stubbornly. After it turns blue, I've tried pressing "delete," grabbing the cable, and a number of various other things to no avail. I've tried both pd 0.37 and 0.38-4 under WinXP SP1 on two separate and very differently configured machines, with the same problem on all versions and hardware. Connecting and moving objects is not a problem. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Rob

Many women (and men as > well) find this quite annoying. This is indeed sad. I wish more women were (openly) into computers. Perhaps A geek like me could relate to such a girl. :embarased: Plus who knows what new perspectives women could bring to the digital field, like Angela Bulloch for example. I LOVE her work. Its not audio (at least what I have seen) but it is some of the most amaizing visual stuff! I would kill to have her skills. I know what you mean though about the emergance of harrasing emails. Apparently my name (wade) is given to both males and females, and once I recieved a request for a pic! :P :D I tried to drag my X here, but I was/am a horrable teacher :( I havent seen much of the Macho thing, but then again I dont develop. I am just a user... I think the developers are pritty nice, at least from my point of view. Giving their time to an appreciative community like this. :) Thanks! two more cents makes four... -thewade

Yeah. It has a lot of potential. At share we had a workshop and it was demo'd there. Very responsive, and a lot of possibilities.. the lack of pressure / velocity information is kind of a letdown as is the pricetag..., but otherwise it was very very impressive. I think we are going to try to put the video online from the workshop. Ill be happy to post a link to the video when we do. :) On Mar 10, 2005, at 5:25 AM, cyrille wrote: > hello, > > i quickly tried one. > my point of view is that : > - sensing the finger are surprisingly fast : it look like you can play > percussion on it. > - I like the physical point of view for the movement of fader or other > objects. :-) > - I really like the possibility to change the layout of the gui while > playing > > - no haptic feedback (of course) > - no pressure information > - max velocity of the fader in not so fast. > (i hope this limitation could be change in future upgrade) > > i don't think you'll ever be able to have the gui of your software in > this device, but a custum made gui. > it work a bit like gripd (you build your gui and then connect to the > software) but for any OSC software environement. > > image and surface quality are ok, good manufacturing quality. > it's very cool.

by Riccardo Visinoni 14 Mar '05

Hi to all PD users, I have a question for you. I've created a friction model with PD for my thesis exam and I have to control it with a wacom tablet. That we have is Intuos, is someone there who know if it is supported by PD or GEM or I have to write the drivers? The wacom intuos is a usb tablet. Thanks in advance Riccardo

gem - pix_buffer strangeness
by Thoralf Schulze 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

hi list - It would be really great if someone could shed some light on this issue. i'm trying to merge some pics with the pix_composite object. now, instead of using [t a a a a a ...] and (numberofpics - 1) pix_composites (simply enough - got it to work), i tried to do it in a less clumsy and cpu-demanding way by using pix_buffer. my idea was to read all images into a buffer first (say, into slots 0-7) and mix them afterwards (using slot 8). The actual mixing would be some sort of iteration: first the images in slot 1 (left inlet of Pix_composite) and 0 (right one) will be mixed into slot 8. Afterwards slot 2 (left) and slot 8 (right) are mixed to slot 8, the same would be done with slots 3 to 7 ... This actually works, the only drawback is that the mixed pics are not only written to slot #8, but to the currently processed slot as well. Although the only pix_buffer_write object in the whole patch gets an [8( banged to its right inlet everytime a render cycle occurs. This sounds probably a bit confusing ... please have a look at the attached patch, that should make it more obvious. thank you in advance, thoralf. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
