There is a yhat GroBoto program makinf ED geometric things or what so ever like the PD teapot but much more complex though easy to use

is there anybody having experience to use such geometric objects and especially creating ne ones and using them in PD GEM I tried BLENDER but thats really for
"Big shots" I am afrid...

Thanks

I make use of GEM rendering of particles cubes or speres etc
i put my own picture on them via pix multi image when i stop rendering and make a capture of the screen with CAPTURE from MAC or SNAPZ pro I can't avoid having pixel saws and even with 20 Mo the picture via Photoshop saws pixel saws

is there a way out - via vectorisation or what so ever

merci

Suppose You have a good PD GEM patch and You want to send the visual output via internet somewhere in the world on a screen (via modems etc) in order to make a sort of "on the air distant video installation/happening"

Does some one has an idea what I should integrate into my PD GEM patch (a message above gemwin???) in order to send the output via my modem into the modem of the receiver and thus into the video projector at the destination (having or having not the PD program)

Thanks for evry idea or solution.....

I downloaded SNAPZ ( from Ambrosia )in order to make a 'video' from what I see when my Patch with GEM particles show the result on my screen.

Now I am able to 'capture' the movie via the SNAPZ program without any problem

but

the movie will not take into account any changes when I push a slider or 'bang' for something else say change the size of a picture while the patch is still rendering

only the very first situation is captured as a Quicktime video when starting:
1. rendering the patch
2. switching the video SNAPZ to ON

Even the patches rendering will change when if I push the slider
but the video capture
will not take into account this new situation I mean the new flow of particle which however I can see on my screen.

I have asked the Ambrosia people but they don't know - for they are not familiar
with Pure Data

so if some one knows I would be very glad

Gottfried

ps

my aim is to make movies on a DVD in order to show to people the outcome of our work.....

Bonjour

Does some know how to make use of pictures for instance a fish, a personon on a bicycle or what so ever without the frame or the whole paper sheet

my aim is to render them as particles running over the GEMWIN just as a fish a person and not as a sphere or a cube etc

I have heard about using the alpha..... and what after the alpha and but what kind of background in the GEMWIND?
merci

Gottfried

hello

have first of all a look into the reference menu into the GEO section

the pix_preview im afraid is a wrong writing

it doesnt work for me neither
Gottfried

hello

i think things are much more simple:
suppose you make a picture of what you want to show say.XXX.jpeg
put this picture or series of them into your patch via the: pix or multipix and rotation or translate and so on

dont try every thing with the same tool look into the toolbox first thats more pragmatic

Bonjour from paris-france

of course you have many possibilities to make mooving your particles in Gem
even you can put your own mictures or textures on them
there are no tutorials

i can send a coomplete/complex patch via email to you
mine is

beyreuther@wanadoo.fr

...i dont know how to put my exemple on this forum, so don't hesitate

best

Gottfried

....Thanks
I think I will try, a bit later

what is the purpose now more precicely, "open sorce" or the specifications pd versus blender?

see you hopefully

there is another question or even a problem with the model or multimodel in GEM on MaC OS X 15

does someone knows how to make a good patch with 2 or more models and the open multimodel object via a radio:

• is ther a limite in terms of Mega bites or I don't know what
