I have been able to render a true 360° image by changing the camera rotation for each pixel in the image and saving the 1x1 pixel texture in a matrix using setcell. Obviously this is very slow since I have to render the entire world again for each pixel in the image. What would be a quicker way to do this? I have been able to record 360° videos in 8K using 4 cameras (

) but the resampling of the textures results in some distortion and there is always an empty spot in the top and bottom of the image. Also I would like to move the camera around ever so slightly for each pixel (or each column of pixels) to enable "true" omni directional stereo imaging. That will not work properly with 4 cameras or any amount of cameras that is less than the amount of pixels in a row. Does anyone have some thoughts about this?

This is my current (slow!) true 360 patch:

Right now, I’m totally into Brian Eno and Steve Reich. I’m exploring their music and how it’s composed, as well as how I can “replicate” it using Max MSP and put my own spin on it.

During my search, I came across a Max patch on YouTube created by Dan Reid, who made a “Steve Reich sequencer/composition patch.” There’s a download link in the video description, but it no longer works.

Does anyone happen to have this patch somewhere or can help me recreate it?

Or maybe Dan Reid is reading this and can help us out ;-)

Or perhaps there are other resources you can recommend to me.

When I open max patch the max console is automatically opens in a new floating window.

How can I disable it? best in something similar to this:

Is there a reliable way in Max to know when a patch is 

 initialized — including async stuff like camera devices opening and buffers finishing their read/load — rather than just using 

, which fires immediately and doesn't wait for any of that to actually finish? Looking for a proper pattern if there is any

I'm receiving UDP data from a sensor in Max at 200Hz, and the patch becomes very laggy and seems to get stuck while data is streaming in. As soon as the sensor stops sending data, Max goes back to running smoothly.

I've run the exact same patch on a different machine with very similar specs, and it runs fine there — no lag or freezing. So it seems specific to this machine or its configuration rather than the patch itself.

I have multiple text instances which are positioned using the coordinates of a sphere. I like to rotate each instance around the centre point of the sphere so that the text still faces outward and is oriented the right way up. Any suggestions?

I am relatively new to CodeBox, busy porting my loose file shaders into CodeBox-based jit.gl.pix. I am shocked to discover that Ctrl+F in the jit.gl.pix patcher doesn't look inside a CodeBox for results. And there doesn't seem to be a separate search function inside CodeBox.

Hi, it seems like live.adsr~ and classic adsr~ have different behaviours on note-off.

input: 0/note-off sent to adsr~/live.adsr~ while it is in it's decay phase.

adsr~ transitions smoothly from current env value to release phase

live.adsr seems to drop immediately to destination sustain value wherever it is in the decay phase, and then transitions to release phase. This creates an audible click. Very audible if a long decay time and low sustain value is chosen (say 2 seconds, 10% sustain)

I am creating a suite of UI objects that solve some situations I encounter when using Max. These are not meant to replace any vanilla Max objects. Instead, they are a sort of hybrid objects that combine different functions and work-arounds I encountered over the years. As well as look ahead at upcoming new technology like touchscreen Macs. 

This is an ongoing endeavor and may take quite a long time. So I should check with community - instead of just presenting a bunch of crazy objects all at once that (kind of) work - I should check little by little for feedback.

The first one is a basic button.  Testing new touch and continuous tracking for sliders.  - Also includes some extended features that I plan to use more fluently later- like the open attributes in popup window even when buried deep inside bpatcher.
