hello,
i'm working on a project and need some advice. in the gem_movie.pd, the example has the movie file textured onto the <cube> object...in a version of the same project i'm working on, i used the <square> object onto which my file is textured. However, ideally, i'd like the movie to retain its shape. in the current version i'm working on, i have the <pix_movie> object connected to a <polygon> with an argument of <4>. the x y z coordinates are assigned so that z = 0. the problem is that when i render, i can't get anything to show up on the screen. what am i doing wrong? i'm including the video section of the program. any help is greatly appreciated.
also, is there a way to create a CASE like statement in pd? i'm using <moses> at the moment, and it seems awfully clunky.
james
