hi, below is the patch i've been working on, and now i want to render it to a movie to put it in the final showreel for this year school.

problem is, the matrix doesnt seem to be responding to jit.gl.handle

im obviously missing something, if someone could take a look that would be sweet

and, will the rendering quality increase when the initial preview window in the patch itself is larger?

(does the qt render scale it up?)

you have some errors in the patch, it's hard to tell exactly what's going wrong. I stripped things down and got the handle working, and got rid of the GL errors that were showing up in the Max window. I think the way you had the handle set up, it won't work in the matrix window, but I could be wrong. I hooked it to the jit.gl.sketch and it works again, but I had to remove the jit.matrix. Maybe you can work from this stripped-down version back up to where you want things, check the render-to-matrix tutorial again to get the matrix part working.

For your presets, it's "store $1" not "store $". the $1 is the first element of a list, in this case, a single number. Also it's usually been better in my experience to hook the preset up manually to everything you want included, rather than have it remember everything in the patch, since it'll remember things like gates which you probably don't want included. But maybe it's fine in this case.

Also look into [scale] for things like the lineto commands, so you can take large integer values from [drunk] and make them into more useful values for a GL context (like a range of -10. to 10.) I added a camera zoom so you can get closer or farther views of everything, then tweak the drawing position values to suit.

I'm not quite sure about your rendering question. if you make the GL screen bigger the preview should scale without distortion, because you don't have any textures. The preview window size doesn't have anything to do with how the final recorded matrix/movie will look, it's all about the matrix dimensions (640 x 480 in your patch). Only if you were doing a screen grab (jit.desktop) would the preview window size matter. No doubt there are some other optimization techniques for getting the best recording of a GL scene, try some more searching for those.

here's a stripped-down version, it may help clear some things up. hopefully you can mix and match to get to where you want.

i had it working, the whole camera thing, and then went to jit.matrix to make a quick render, wich i didnt know how to

ill look into the points you've made, thanks for the in depth reply!

BIG problem, matrix jit.gl.handle
