Hi List,
I'm looking for something suitable to use in developing generative audio-visual pieces that I can distribute as CDROMs.
At the moment, I'm using Macromedia Director, which does the job, but has rather limited A-V capabilities. I'd also rather not use a piece of proprietary software.
Whilst considering other options, such as C++/DirectX, Java and "Processing" (www.Proce55ing.net), I stumbled across PD, and noticed the following comments by Guenter, in a recent thread :
The ultimate goal would be to be able to build your director-like GUI within pd directly. .. or implement a flashplayer etc .. :)
PD/GEM looks like an incredibly flexible and powerful A-V development environment, but am I right in thinking you need both installed and configured on a target machine in order to run a completed patch/abstraction?
If so, are there any plans to develop a PD "Projector" or equivalent, so that performances can be played on machines that don't have PD installed?
Forgive me if any of the above seems idiotic, but your comments, nevertheless, would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Richard Skelton
