It sounds like you have the animation working. Is NodeBox too slow to keep up? Is it freezing up from time to time?</p></div>johntag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/421870732017-03-20T15:23:22Z2017-03-20T15:23:23ZCapture animation in OSC setup<div><p>Hi</p>
<p>Well, it works with limited amount of shapes, but as soon as I use many shapes (with the grid or so) animation starts lagging quite a lot....</p></div>ABtag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/421870732017-03-21T09:50:33Z2017-03-21T09:50:33ZCapture animation in OSC setup<div><p>Unless there is some significant inefficiency in your network, I doubt there's anything you can do for live performances. You might be able to create videos by saving the animation as either an MP4 or a series of stills and then sync with the recording of the music. You can get much higher frame rates in NodeBox by doing this, but it requires post-processing.</p>
<p>I recently posted a question in the general discussion forum asking if NodeBox could be faster. No responses yet. I think in theory there might be some way to compile NodeBox code and/or run it on dedicated hardware for purposes like this. But I don't have the chops to do anything like that.</p></div>johntag:support.nodebox.net,2012-11-01:Comment/421870732017-03-21T11:58:19Z2017-03-21T11:58:22ZCapture animation in OSC setup<div><p>Yes, I know. I just hope that the developers will look into this. A version for live processing would make NodeBox a worthy art installation application similar to vvvv and others....</p>
<p>Btw: Do you know of any alternatives for Mac?<br>
There is PD and Max, I guess. Any others?</p></div>AB
