| I used your math interpolation equation a while back to make something just like this for an effect I've been working on for VDMX. I never thought to publish outputs and stick it in the patches folder. That makes it so much easier than copy and pasting that thing in from one quartz comp to another. You learn something everyday. Thanks! |

These days if I find myself doing the same thing more than twice, I usually make a macro for it. Now if only I could make a macro for washing the dishes... |

Hey Marcos, good to hear from you!
The coordinate system works correctly for the VDMX 2d point picker. I guess TouchOSC assumes (0,0) is at the top left of the screen, which is common for most graphic programs. And VDMX assumes it's at the bottom left, which is more like how it's taught in math class. And then QC assumes (0,0) is in the middle of the screen. Sigh. Go figure. That's where macros come in so useful. Figure it out once, and then don't worry about it anymore 
How are you connecting to touschOSC? I have a custom qcplugin for VDMX that receives the OSC data, and also handles the conversion if you're interested.

hey joris. I used some qcOSC plugin, made by hexler, the guy behind touchOSC.
http://hexler.net/qcosc-v0-5-released
works really well! (your plugin is better?)
hey, i have a (i supossed) easy question for you: i have some 3D patch in QC, with an input splittler with the range -30 > 0, but the sliders in touchOSC goes from 0 to 1 only. I found a way to do that with a math patch, but i supossed could be better with some simple JS... no? anyway, thanks, in advance.
ps. i forgot to tell you in berlin about my love for your modul8 VDMX plugin.
is one of my top 5 plugins!
ok, i need to cook a meal....
cheers from madrid, at 29 ºC! |

This one should work for that I reckon: http://www.hybridvisuals.nl/downloads/linear-value-translation-qcclip/. Takes any value as input, and translates it from the old min and max to the new min and max (0...1 and 30...0 respectively in your case).

I use the built-in OSC receiver from QC. The Hexler one was a bit buggy for me. Don't know if it's any better than what you're doing, but I have one instance of it running as a qcplugin in VDMX, so I can forward the xy and pressed information to multiple patches at the same time. I don't have my laptop handy right now, but drop me a mail if you want to have a look! |

Thanks Joris! the linear value translation is what I need, it works perfectly. the funny think -or not so funny, i dont know- is I dowloaded this QC twice, i have the same QC doc in my downloads folder for -maybe- months, here in my face. I have to many things in my mac. puf.
About the hexler OSC plugin, I like it because when you touch some control in your ipod/ iphone automaticly appeears as an output in the qcOSC plugin, so you dont need to make almost nothing. is very fast to programate. anyway i'll send you an email, i like to see your plugin! 
hi Thomase, maybe you can't find the awesomelinedrawer, because is the name Joris choose to his qc comp in the workshop he made in visualberlin. I was there Actually I made the qc in my laptop when he explain how to make it.... and he copy me some doc too, maybe the original awesomelinedrawer... i can't remember exactly. Joris, Maybe you have your next tutorial here, the awesomelinedrawer tuto.
cheers! |

Well, the way I do this, is to load this qc patch (http://www.hybridvisuals.nl/uploads/touchOSC_xy.qtz) as a plugin in VDMX (put it in the 'plugins' folder of VDMX). It will take the TouchOSC data and separate it, and then make it available as a datasource for any slider in VDMX.
It uses the built-in OSC receiver patch, and assumes you're sending the following OSC data: /1/xy1 and /1/xy1/z
Hope that makes sense!
Joris |

Good idea. It's been a while since I did a tut, and that's a good introduction to the Kineme GL Tools. If only there were more hours in a day |
