    hi! i'v got a problem with some drawing in opengl..
    first i generate the plane in @poly_mode 1 1 with @dim 20 2, to get the stripes, then i store the texture in jit.gl.node, and with jit.gl.slab i am substracting it with an alpha mask and next to jit.gl.videoplane. untill now everythink goes right, but when i*am trying to turn on the lighting on videoplane, the resolution is geting low. the only solution that i found, is to increase the @dim on the videoplane, but then i loose the performance.. anyway i have posted here my patch, with the sample video, and skeleton data from kinect. the other problem is when i turn on the fullscreen, everything is getting buggy, and the axes of light is moving with +- 0.5 fps. i would be thankful for any help! adam
    i take the alphamask from kinnect

      Could you post something other than a RAR? A ZIP file would be better and a compressed patcher even better.

      For whatever reason, the zip file doesn't work for me.
      You shouldn't need to increase the dim on the videoplane to create a spotlight effect. If you need 3D lighting, have a look at jit.gl.light (Max6). If you just want an image of a spotlight to modulate the texture, you could use jit.gl.slab and a custom shader in Max5 or jit.gl.pix in Max6. Using jit.gl.pix it should be pretty simple to make a nice looking spotlight.

      yes yes! i would like only to modulate the texture. i'am using max 6 and using jit.gl.light, but the jit.gl.pix is some sort of magic for me.. could you help me with this?

      i was able to open the zip file.
      napentro, i think these are simply the artifacts that appear when you draw lines with opengl. you could get better results by setting @antialias 1 on your gridshape, and @fsaa1 on your window. you might want to add some gaussian blur to your output texture as well.
      the fullscreen slowdown happens because you are reading your back to a matrix to view with the pwindow. get rid of that, and you should be fine in fullscreen. a better solution for a pwindow preview is to use a shared_context.

      i dont know if you get me right, because my problem begins when you open the "jit.gl_stuff" patcher, and turn on the lighting. only then the fulscreen is getting buggy and the problems with resolution is starting. sorry for my google translator english, but i think, you get me

      hi! i have made another atempt, and stopped on quite similar thing. with this less complicated patch i am trying to get silhouette, with lights on hands and foots. i have got problem, to improve the quality of lights with no lose of performance. next i want to add those stripes some how.. maybe the jit.gl.material will be usefull? Thanks in advance!

      so... i have to continue my monologue :)
      i found that now the problem is in the gaussian blur, that is eating my fps :)
      do you know why is it happened? it should be done with gpu and i am messed up..
