Kantan Mapper - an approach on simple mapping in TD

Hey,

just updated the file on the first page here.

The window problem was exactly because of the change in parameters. The second problem was a newly introduced rounding issue in Panel COMP positional parameters - it’s fixed but needs more investigation where it was introduced.

Hey,

and fixed the same magic moving mouse bug in the texture editor. Plus switched color map interpolation from Mipmap to Linear in order to get less blurry textures.

Update posted here.

Hi
I use several masks i Kantan Mapper overlapping each other. The images in these masks have transparent background, but the masks themselves do not handle the alpha channel…or do I miss something ?
Is there an easy ways to do this ?

Thx Markus for this nice mapping tool !

I try to use the Colors Sliders to change the intensity of my Masks, but nothings change (and i don’t see any TOP level in Base). It will be nice to change easely the RGB values independently.

Problems with blending alpha on overlaping too. Resolve by activate transparency in MAT Phong Base(free)

MadMapper is an good example to follow.
Cheers

I’ve noticed a change in the way Kantan works when opening up the Output window. Previously, when Output was open, you could edit things in the main window of Touchdesigner. As of the latest update while on Build 56020, this is no longer true.

Now, when the output window is open, the program goes into performance mode, and you can no longer edit things. Is this intentional behavior?

I’ve seen that the fix for this is fairly easy within the code that is triggered on the Output: Enable button. But I was also wondering if normal use of Kantan should always be in performance mode.

Thanks

I have a moving mouse problem. Every vertex/point i touch starts moving down when i press it.

EDIT: touch 56020, kantan mapper um downloaded 18/11/15

Could you possibly share the fix to this? I haven’t been able to find an archived version of Kantan, and I wasn’t able to locate the fix myself, as I’m still a beginner with TD. However, I’ve got a project to do for school, and getting Kantan working again would be huge. Thanks!

I hope you have figured it out by now. But in case not, maybe this will help. I am a newbie myself and started using kantanmapper only today so if I got the solution wrong do not be angry :slight_smile:

zedmaster,

Sorry for the very late reply. Boardmisha did essentially the same thing as I did. It fixes the performance mode problem.

Hey,

this slipped my todo list. just uploaded a fix for Kantan which mainly concerns the output window opening in performance mode instead of a separate window.

cheers

I was wondering if there is way to use an alpha channel inside the projection? I’d like to use two shapes that overlap and I’m driving the opacity of the shape in the front (level TOP opacity) expecting to reveal the other input connected to the shape below. But all that happens is that the top shape turns into gray.
Appreciate any tips, Cheers!

Hi, I’m a bit new to the Kantan Mapper. Is there a way so that I could hide the points of a selected layer (polygon), or turn its color to black? I’ll need to select layers while performing live (moving specific layers up/down once in a while). I’ve already turned the ‘selection outline’ to black in the ‘master’ node of a polygon (i.e. ‘masterfree’) but I can’t seem to hide the points.

Basically, is there a way for stealthy selection? Any help would be much appreciated!

I have question on kantan mapper.

  • how to get the output in a node in the network Editor

  • is it possible to lock a mask

  • when we put a video as a texture is it possible to keep it aspect ratio, map the rect shape as the video size. Or have a control of the rect size, example to make the size 200 px by 300px.

instead of playing with all corner of the shape can we control the size. example if i press S key the shape will scale in proportion.

thanks for any info on that.

GameL and ajk48n:

I have the same problem – when 2 projectors are connected the rectangles do not match the edit points – also the display window is not correctly aligned with the projector output. Did you guys find a solution?

I just downloaded Kantan for the first time today (7/25/16). I should add that I am absolutely a beginner in TouchDesigner – though I have visual programming and textual coding experience.

I am finding TouchDesigner to be very unintuitive as far as visual programming goes – so I’ll go take some tutorials in the meantime.

Thanks,
Marc

Any thoughts?

Does anyone have a fix for the grid warp issue? The grid points kinda go off on their own when trying to move them.

I am new to TD. I am following a video tutorial on derivative.ca/Events/2014/T … hopVideos/

As I follow the tutorial, have downloaded kantanmapper.tox file from the forum. It will not let me drag and drop the file onto my project.

It just does the circle with an x in it.

I can open it on its own. Seeing that this is my first project in TD I wouldn’t know where to go from that point “opening it as a new TD session” and then starting the project via the tutorial.

The file they are using in the tutorial is kantanmattper4.tox ? I don’t know if that was special to that particular Toronto Workshop or what? I would think not.

Do I need to place this file somewhere else before I drag and drop?

I am using Non Commercial TD with DVIDIA GForece GTX 960
Current build of TD 61910
I can’t wait to start using this!!
Thank you for you time!

Update;

Ok, so I just opened the kanatanmapper.tox file, TD then opened a new session, then I sort of followed the tutorial in reverse. WALLA. It worked and works well.

I still don’t understand why I can not drag and drop?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Strange you can’t drag and drop. You’re trying to drag from Windows Explorer and dropping it into a blank space in the network editor (the grid)?

Yes elburz. It is strange. On an amazing positive note! I was able to download TD Non Commercial for Mac last night, downloaded Kantan and dragged and dropped it into the new build! It was amazing, I am predominately a Mac user so this is just too rad!
