AUVI objects and matrix

Hans Mittendorf's icon

I spent some time again to go through the Auvi set of objects. I tried to send from an Auvi object to a matrix but get only strange results. Then I read "
"supports: 4 plane char 2 dimensions ONLY"

How do we prepare the matrix to receive the output from an Auvi object?

Hello Kurt, is 2 dimensions a fixed limit because of technical reasons or is it a cpu saving decision?
Since one can often see that it is 2 dimensional, I wonder what it would look like in 3D?

Hans, yes, most of the Auvi objects handle 2-dimensional 4-plane char matrices ONLY. This was a design decision made to give Auvi its speed in processing ARGB video.
It's very unlikely that I will be able to change this, because it would require a rewrite from scratch.

Hello Kurt, thanks once more for your generosity to offer the Auvi set.
Maybe only au.fear or au. aura in 3D would be something one would like to see....but I do not know how much work that represents. I am happy with what you gave.

You may be able to decompose a 3d matrix to a series of 2d matrices and then reassemble them to 3d post processing. This can be accomplished with the jit.matrix dstdim attribute, or with jit.scanwrap.
