I came across the need to animate CHOPs based on a cued sequence. I have found that the animation chop is a little difficult to work with quickly in a theatre tech week scenario, so I created a way of cuing parameters with python dictionaries and storage. A dictionary in Python is a data structure that […]
Part of my work on ASU’s production of The Hour We Knew Nothing of Each Other involved making some Previs software. I wanted to be able to work with the scenic designer and the director in order to devise a specific portion of the show called the ‘Panel Dance’ and what the media might look like […]
EDIT: This is now way easier to do from within TouchDesigner using the Threaded Web Comp here: http://derivative.ca/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=9164 . Tutorial to come soon. OH BOY! This one is going to be exciting! Somewhere in my meanderings of Touchdesigner, I decided it was a good idea to try this. Assuming my mantra of “How hard can it be?”, […]
Recently I have been using Touchdesigner to make theatre. Touch is great because it lets you quickly edit content in real time and move along in the tech process, however I was getting really annoyed at searching my network to find components when I had to edit a “Cue”. I was longingly looking over at the […]
Do you want to track scenery in your next production? Do you want to spit that information out via open sound control(OSC) to a media server? Do you want to do that for under $100?! This tutorial/write up will explain how. This can be used in conjunction with Touchdesigner, Max/Msp, Isadora, even Qlab if you’re handy […]
ASU Emerge is a festival centered around questions about the future. I was part of a design team that helped create an environment where we could actively engage those questions. This piece of the design was made to give information to participants as they entered the space. It lays out the agenda for the day […]
In part one we installed and tested the pyOSC library on the Raspberry Pi. In this tutorial we will go through the Python code to send OSC on the Raspberry Pi. I am going to continue using the command line, however the actual python code can be written in any text editor in GUI. In […]
Alright so you have a Raspberry Pi that you would like to incorporate into a media project some how. There are many ways of getting data to and from it, but one of the easiest ways is with Open Sound Control (OSC). If you are not familiar with the basics of OSC you should check […]
