Ok, just lost the lengthy topic due to auto log - out function and hitting preview button. Yay! Exactly the reason why I avoid forums.
So...
I've been playing around with QC plugins in VDMX.
First one I've done was image sampler to create semi autonomous feedback system or for some simple image analysis. Works very similar to blackburst plugin but uses whole frame (resize to 1x1 pixel) to pass the R, G, B, A, RGB and color values as data sources. It also displays the contents of chosen layer as a visual source. Please find it attached. It should be installed to user/library/application support/vdmx/plugins
The second one was step sequencer, but with Record option.
BTW: Hey VDMX guys what happened to the included step sequencer plugin? AFAIR it did have a record option at some point - now its pretty useless in live performance situation when you want to record that sweet knob twist.
It works pretty simple:
Has 4 inputs:
Position input - to be controlled with clock signal (4 BAR f.e.) current position in Array
Record - boolean to turn recording on/off
Value - we assign whatever we want to record here
Queue size - amount of samples in Array
Has 1 output
track_1_value - which outputs the sample at current Position.
It works in QC, works in VDMX, but...
I wanted it to have a nice graphical representation and used iterator to display the contents of the Array as a video Data source (the other plugin does it and it works). Worked in QC, but no luck in VDMX. Have tried the render in image - billboard combo. No luck either. Overall spent half a day over this trivial bug and still not sure why it isn't working. One of these days...
It may have to do something with the wrong use of plugin "class" but can't say its described anywhere really.
Ayone having a clue about what's wrong with my Sequencer plugin?
