PatchBox r206
,
In preparation for its first outing on Sunday, I’ve been putting PatchBox through its paces, fixing bugs, and adding the final bits of functionality.
While the main key feature of PB is that it can draw and project on clearly defined areas of architecture, the gig will (ironically) be on a 4:3 screen, as they’re also using my projector to show the films.
Above are some screen shots of an experiment with overlaying several screens to create an interesting composite.
There are four layers of WinAmp AVS output (only one copy of WinAmp running, feeding the output through the fugVideoStreaming plugins, into PatchBox, then applying that to the four layers), and a single video layer on top.
Each layer has its alpha set to the brightness of its pixels, giving the rather pleasing effect.
As part of achieving this I had to hunt down and kill the bug in the WinAmp AVS plugin that was stopping it reconnecting. Will post an update on the wiki shortly…
