Did you check on an embedded output? I've also had issues in the past trying to get audio out of the AES-outputs, but Embedded for me it always works. Then leave it up to the audio engineer to get it on air... #XPression

Altering the Lines-Coordinates dynamically

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hi all, I have received a request from a client to create a template where they could enter a series of values which then get translated in a graph. I was looking into this request and I was thinking of creating a number of dummy textfields which would then be translated to XYZ-coordinates ...

RE: Detecting Dimensions of a Material

Hi mgoetz, The easiest solution would be to use scripting for this: dim obj as xpBaseObject dim mat as xpMaterial dim shader as xpBaseShader dim maxHeight as double = 500 dim maxWidth as double = 500 Self.getObjectByName("Quad1", obj) obj.getMaterial(0, mat) mat.getShaderByName("Texture", ...

Hello all, I'm having an issue with the slab-primitive. I'm trying to create a graphic using a skewed slab with rounded edges but I want to keep the texture which has been applied to the slab straigt. However, the texture is a repeating background so I have used the WRAP-mode to repeat the ...

RE: Script to move Sequencer Take Item

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hi Jerryylu, Although there is no specific move-command I think the best way would be to get the takeitem, copy the contents into temporary variables and insert a new take item (with the data from the temporary variables in it) in the desired group and then deleting the original take item. ...

Hello all, We're doing a quizshow in Augmented Reality where we are using the XPression to generate the augmented graphics. This morning when we were testing, everything was fine but this afternoon the graphics started flickering. Initially I thought it was the videocard so I restarted ...

RE: Auto-Squeeze: Needing to match the sizes.

Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Hi, Interesting question as it's not a common thing ;-) Usually when you put two lines of text in a textfield where one line is longer than the other, everything scales when using the autosqueeze-function which is not always what you want. However, in this case I see what you mean and I understand ...

RE: Font assignment through Visual Logic?

Hey moviesign, The (ID) works fine, it'sjust a bit more difficult because you have to lookup the ID all the time. However, the (NameOfTheFont) should work fine. Just to clarify, the name of the font that I used was fntTest1 and fntTest2. I might have confused you by using a name that starts with ...

Hi, "‹While the solution of @icingo44 is definitely a possibility, it might not always be practical to have to create two different textfields for every possible text that you might want to change the font for. Let me give an example to clarify. Imagine that you have to create a list of names ...

Could I suggest to the moderators of this discussion forum to add a Sticky post to this forum where users could add suggestions or feature requests for XPression? For instance, I would really like to suggest two improvements to Visual Logic in XPression: "¢ Auto-Increment when copying Visual Logic ...

RE: Scene Director script events not working

Posted By Kenneth Gilbert 02-05-2019 15:12
Found In Egroup: Graphics \ view thread
Thank you for the suggestion @amignon but I'm afraid this is not a workable solution for me. The item on my Scene Director track is an OBJ-sequence that holds a number of animations and not an animController, as such I can not use the Loop or PlayRanges. Also using separate Scene Directors ...

Scene Director script events not working

Hello all, I'm having an issue with a script placed on my Scene Director. I have created a scene with an animation in it. The animation is actually broken down into 5 steps with after each step a sort of living hold. So there is a small loopinganimation so that it keeps on moving before ...

Hello all, This is a question which is probably suited best for @patrick or @bford I have noticed that since version 8, FBX-models are supported, which is working great. However, are there any plans to support FBX-animations any time soon? Currently we are working on a show which ...

Thank you @bford. I noticed it indeed when I got the email from the Build System ;-) I have to say I like the reactiveness at Ross! I have another feature which would be very welcome to me (and to many other too), and I think it's not so difficult to implement. In the Visual Logic Editor, ...
