Hello list,
The answer may already be on the webpage, but to a graphics newbie such as myself, I could not find the answer.
How do I create a translucent object? And for that matter other "vital" effects?
I personally learn by example, and if anyone would be willing to supply
me with some really exciting looking patches I'd be more than happy to
break those patches down into "tutorials" for someone like me who is
just learning to use the material. Some of it has to do with the
basic ideas behind objects.
For example, as a beginner to audio production, I might discover that I
could get a "neat sound different from osc~" by using phasor~, but it
might not occur to me that phasor~ has other uses besides just as a
saw-tooth wav that would help me later on as I tried to accomplish more
complex tasks.
If someone thinks they have a bunch of varied, interesting, patches, I
would LOVE to look at them, and I'd be happy to try and put together
some "help" files like those found within Pd if somebody would be
willing to proof them for me. I found the basic things in the GEM
HTML manual currently being worked on by IOhannes, but it was not
enough. Is there more out there already? Whether there is
or isn't, tell me what I can do to be helpful, and tell me what I can
do to learn.
Thanks list!
