Luminosity

I just stumbled across this… This is amazing! I’m watching your video and learning as I go.

I’m still a little new to Touch Designer, but I have been a circus performer for many years and want to use this in some projection pieces.

Quick question…I’d like to integrate the kinect into several clips. Of course, the moment I use the kinect in one clip, it won’t let me use it in another because it’s being used in that channel. Is there an easy way I can refer to the kinect data from across all of the clips?

Good to hear.

Yes there is a component called devices inside of database where there are main inputs such as a Kinect where you can select from. There are storage key you can use to select them and they are also hardwired into some of the video sources. Or can just select them manually if that is easier.

Amazing! Thank you. I ran into one more problem and one question.

The problem is that I couldn’t get any effects to turn on. I’d drag in the effect from the browser, I could edit the parameters, but for some reason, the on/off button wasn’t responding to any mouse clicks.

I also can’t click on the “C” to bring up the window (like with presets). It doesn’t respond.

So I updated my Touchdesigner to the latest version (Mine was last updated in Dec). Now it brings up a page full of errors: “Skipping unrecognized parameter” when it first loads. I used a fresh copy of Luminosity (no saves) and it still generated that error.

Do you think perhaps the newer versions don’t fully work? If so, do you happen to know which version it works 100%?

I know you mentioned not wanting to sell this, but would you be willing to take a donation to update the tox to be compatible with the latest version of TD?

Hi Ruvidan it looks like that version of Luminosity was saved in build 2018.16620 . If you install that build it should solve your issues.

Flowtricks I would consider donations.

Cheers

OK cool. Do you have a paypal address? I’d be happy to donate to help the cause.

Also,I’m not hearing audio playback. Under Windows/Channel Settings, Audio box is active. Volume slider is up. But can’t seem to hear mp3s or audio from video clips. Suggestions?

Make sure the master channel audio is enabled as well then make sure that your audio device is set properly on the audiodeviceoutCHOP inside of devices.

If you like PM and I’ll send you my email. Not sure how soon I’ll be able to work on it though.

New version pushed to Github everyone. You can now run LM in the current official version of TD (2018.27840) without any major issues (hopefully).

cheers

Hey there…
what a great peace of work…love it, many tnxs for shearing this beast!

1 question, (probably stupid but anyway, i’m just scratching the surface of TD)
how do i get my second monitor showing a fullscreen output from the master? :confused:

Loads of greets Jeffrey

Mighty fine dev. Thank you.

Thanks Brik.

Jeffrey there is a toggle parameter on the component /Luminosity/perform called Master Perform On that needs to be toggled on.

Hi everyone, there is a new branch called experimental-update on the github repo. A number of things have been fixed and LM seems to be working for the most part in build 2019.12330

I’m sure there are still a few things that might not be working correctly so if you find any bugs please report them in issues section on Github.

thanks
Keith

Nice work!

I havnt hade time having a closer look but is it possible to drop toxfiles as a clip and display the toxfiles custom parameters?

Not at the moment. Peter Sistrom did make a component a while back that would convert a tox with custom pars into an LM control panel but it never made it into Luminosity.

It could easily be developed again though. Then either a manual conversion could be done prior to using the component in LM or function could be made to the call the CustomParsToControlPanel() function that automatically did on drop.

Ah ok. But it is possible to drop toxfiles as well as videoclips? Maybe I will try to implement the display of custom parameters. But need to dig a bit under the hood first to understand how the system works. I think this would be handy.

As well as implement kantan mapper so you can do mapping without a 3d modell because guess that is needed with cantanmapper right?

Actually if you watch the video you’ll be able to see the method to turn your components into either an effect or a generator (clip)

Thanks a million Keith! The world doesn’t even realize that the Ableton of visuals came out. You mention in the video you would like to see a community build around LM, I think this needs to happen, whether it’s a new section of the Touchdesigner forum or whatever. I know I’m going to be hacking it and making new features as soon as I can figure out how any of it operates, and we need a space where people can continue developing it together and documenting how to use it.

I actually have the same question, at 3 hrs 41 min of the intent dev YouTube video you mention you are going to do a demonstration of how to create a new effect but then don’t go into it. When in the the video do you explain making your own effects?

Will we need to add our own hack that keeps it from cooking all the time or is it automatically built in? Thanks

Great to hear.

Actually how to build in an effect/gen is in a second video here:

Wasn’t what you were talking about cooking all the time? What is cooking all the time?
