Hi All

puredata.info & the mailing list seem to have disappeared- has anyone else experienced this? NY hangover perhaps?

Hi

This is a bit off topic --I have a few PD patches I want to share with the world some of which would be in zip files etc--does any one know a good file hoster?

Thanks!

here is a pd patch I made with Gem, it makes sound based on the colours of a loaded video file, so if a movie has allot of greens it makes one sound and a movie with allot of red makes another sound etc.

It kinda works-i made it becuase I wanted to sync music with some Blender (GNU 3d app) animations

comments/advice welcome! (^_^)

Hi

In case anyone didnt know the book is no available to purchase, you can download a free pdf version.

oops!

sorry i deleted the very thread I started...duh!

Big thanks to all those who gave advice and uploaded patches

Pdub

does anyone know when the new pd extended will be relased? or any other PD news?

there is a new version of gridflow...I think it now supports ruby .8 so I reckon those complie headaces i got using osx might go away with this version...Ive wanted to use gridflow for ages!

http://gridflow.ca/

I havent tried to install this yet but it looks good:

Hi

In Audacity (and maybe some other sound file editors) you can import raw data-like say a .png file or a mov file and it turns the data into sound (or noise rather)---Is there a way of doing this in PD?

Thanks for your help!

HI

This may seem dumb but Im trying to install gridflow for pd on os x and it tells me I need ruby 1.9, but I dont know where to get this from...can anyone point me in the right direction?

is it a developers version?...im clueless (!)

thanks!

Hi

I am having trouble using pdp_v4l, pixelTango and osc patch on PD-extended .38 on mac os x (tiger)

If I try to load a PiDiP patch from the help file I get the following error message:

pdp_v4l /dev/video RGB24
... couldn't create
error: pdp_v4l: can't load abstraction within itself

pdp_v4l
... couldn't create

pdp_help_input.pd 13 0 0 0 (bng->canvas) connection failed
pdp_help_input.pd 35 0 0 0 (message->canvas) connection failed

If I try to put OSC object i get this error:

... couldn't create

And PixelTango crashes completely. Has anyone else experience these errors or maybe I have my start up path set up wrong or I need to add some thing?

I deeply appricate your help and advise but I am at a loss!

Thanks again

awesome!

yeah that got me too...

Hi
Attached is a little patch Im working on to switch Gemheads/turn them off/set their rendering order. The toggle boxes turn the respective gemheads off and the numboxes set their rendering order...still a work in progress!

quick test and everything is good on Linux-thanks for sharing this...any tips on learning how to use shaders with Gem?

Guido ....your a genius...kudos!

I was thinking how to implement a depth of field in Gem all this week ...Im not a shader expert so I was thinking of sending a 3d object to a pix buffer-using pix_blur and then another object in the foreground that wasn't blurred- sort of a layering technique

probably wouldn't of worked as well...:)

Hey

Im on Linux and the pdvj tools dont work for me either--you could try out mediagrid instead of video grid

http://code.autistici.org/trac/planetQ/wiki/mediagrid

and I have a pix_preview alternative that uses gridflow's [#see] object to send to gem- needs a bit of work

http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/gem_see.pd

this question comes up now and again...how to save gem activity as a .mov or .avi etc. --- it stumps me too so I tried work arounds like using gridflow objects like [#from_pix] and then record with [#record] ... now I just use screen recordings which as you say isn't the best but I wonder if someone could clarify 100 % how to use the [pix-record] object? Thanks all (ubuntu user so I don't think this is windows specific)

This is really cool- thanks for sharing

Hi

Here is a good resource of shaders, Im going to try them out
