I have been grappling with the problem (probably simple) of previewing the output of a texture from a GL object (such as jit.gl.gridshape or jit.gl.text3D) in a jit.pwindow, while at the same time the output is being composited in jit.world and jit.gl.node. I have tried various node/videoplane configurations without success.

In this example, I am displaying the combined output of a movie and gridshape object in both a jit.window and jit.pwindow. While the movie can be easily previewed independently with its matrix output, I can't preview the gridshape texture output independently in a jit.pwindow. How do I do this without converting the texture back into matrix output?

Figured it out: jit.gl.syncread as an outlet to jit.pwindow for each sub node. If anyone wants to see the patch, just reply... Cheers. 

hmm, I wouldn't use asyncread for this if all you want is a preview or some object view. jit.pwindow can handle texture output directly without the costly readback. to preview a single object (rather than the entirety of a node sub-context) you can use the new multiple-drawto feature of jit.gl objects. you simply provide 2 drawing destinations (or more) to the objects drawto attribute. the first one being the main context or main node, and the second being some preview node context. This will be the most efficient technique to solve this problem:


Many thanks Rob!! You are truly the bomb... it seems you have solved the vast majority of issues in the C74 forum, and I have taken many excellent tips from your patches. Best, Randall

I'm getting no data coming in through mira.motion using mirawab + Safari on an iPhone (tried an SE2020 and an iPhone 7, both running 14.7.1)

Should this work? Is a security "feature" on the iOS that's blocking the data?

I have a counter that goes 1 to 12 I can route it on multiple route. That create like a step sequencer of value.

It's ok when I use multiplier like 6, 4, 3, 2, but now I wish to do it with 9 and the commun multiplier with 12 is 108. 

And I'm pretty that there's a smarter way to achieve this, like a repeat function or ... ?

route-counter


i dont fully understand question but maybe try this:

you could work with complex numbers for a while, i.e. send individual integers for the step number and the factor or column or whatever that is, route them individually, and combine them as late as possible.

This what is connected to my counter 
I thought it will cyclically repeat the 5 steps pattern 

I can't see the image you posted... can you send us your patch instead (select everything in your patch, use "Copy Compressed" function in Max "Edit" menu, paste it into the forum)?

This was my "plastic duck effect" I replaced my route 12 by cycle 5 !!! 
thank you !! 

Haha... I'm a proud owner of 4 plastic ducks: 2 in my atelier, 2 in bathroom. All of them have already heard many strange stories from me ...


[cycle] means your sequencer will never jump to another position or run backwards.

it also means you could replace counter with metro.


I didn't thought for backwards run - so this is not my solution :/
now I don't know where to go ?!


in older max versions cycle could not even be reset to 0; counter and route was allright and you should keep that.

for suggestions we really needed to see the patch in the one or other form.

This is a part of the patch 
To use the cycle I did three patcher one for each direction (fwd, rwd, fwd-rwd)
It working but if there is a better way to achieve this I like to know (to learn and improve)



using a parallel instance for reversed and palindrome mode is a legit option.

while i have not really checked the details... and it probably works like that... there is for sure an even more elegant way how to generate that kind of output. 

for example you could assign 1, 2, 3 to the sectors and multiply the sector number with 30 degree only at the very output.  1, 2, 3 might have advantages for certain math and routing tasks.

eventually you could also process things as list. have a look into funnel, listfunnel and spray and see if that kind of stuff can replace parts of the patch. it will not be better, but it will be different and that can activate other regions in the brain and then magic things can happen.


Sectors could be a good way, well I saved one operation 
Listfunnel + Coll could be a solution but I didn't managed to create a loop of 12 with a list of 5 for e.g 
Thank you for the brainstorming ! 

Hmmm...  it seems to be something relatively simple achieved with a bit complicated methods.

Here is a simple example how to create a circular numeric pattern from any clock source (with reverse):

And here is a simple and safe method to extract a value from a list (less routing):

Hope this will help, especially compiled with remarks from Roman.

Ok I learnt new things with your patch  I tried to add both in one, but I get similar result that I got before for e.g with a list of 5 steps 1, 3, 5, 8, 10.
The sequence is 1,3,5,8,10, 1,3,5,8,10, 1,3, 1,3,5,8,10 


I think, it's a kind of the "duck situation" here, as I'm not sure what behaviour you want to build. Can you describe the desired behaviour? It is also always a good idea to post a patch (with comments).

I'm making a patch to use with spat revolution in which I use a 12.1 configuration
The patch allows me to set for a source a sequence based on geometric figure (hexagon, dodecagon ...)
So the source will follow the path of my shape. at least the point position base on polar system.
All worked fine with polygon with 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 but the problem appeared when I wanted to implement pentagon heptagon ... as 5 is not a 12 divider.
So I wish to create a simple loop of 5 steps with e.g 1,3,5,8,10 but running on 12.
I used counte because of the 3 play options (fwd, bck, back and forward)

ahah this is so much simpler than what I did.
I hope to get that skill with max ... maybe in few years 
thank you I will integrate it in my patch - I loose the forward backward loop but no matter.

Sorry... this ping-pong mode ("pendulum")... I think, this should be something like that:

Use [umenu] to change playing mode (normal, backward, pendulum).

Thank you for your solution 
I implemented it - some parts are still a bit mysterious, especially the pendulum.


wow this solution is much simpler ?! 
I combined it with my patch (color patch is a game) 
Thank to all - great community !

I'm getting started with Min. I followed the excellent tutorial here to get my dev environment set up. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97YEPCX4d50&t=5s

Everything seems to be working well. I went to Properties->Debugging->Command. And put max.exe as the command to run.

When I right click on my solution and Debug->Start new instance, about 40% of the time Max launches and all is well. 60% of the time i run into the error below. ntdll.dll exception, an invalid handle was specified.

Sometimes if I just try again, it all works out. Usually I have to restart Visual Studio and try again. Occasionally it keeps happening until I reboot my machine. As you can imagine, this is very disruptive to the coding experience.

I don't think this is an error in my code. It happens with try to start instances of the default object, or any of the min-devkit objects.

Has anybody encountered this before? Any suggestions? Thanks!

intermittent-ntdll-dll-exception-when-starting-a-new-instance-in-visual-studio-to-debug-min-external

I went here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/webtopics/pdb-downloader

downloaded ntdll.pdb, and put the file in the max folder  next to Max.exe.
I think VS will look for it in other places too, but I wasn't sure how to find those paths.  
Anyway, this is working for me now.

So it turns out you can just continue past this and Max will go ahead and launch.

These high-quality fabric side bags are an essential element for those bike rider who carries a lot of luggage with them and wants to ride on long tours. These bags can hold a good amount of components. 

On average a bag contains around 18 kg s. They are waterproof and durable in nature. Easily removable.Very useful for touring and long routes.

This appears to behave the same in Max 8.1.11 and Max 8.2, so it's not a new issue. Regardless, we will take a look. It appears that calling post() (with no newline) and outlet() in the same function is causing problems. Thanks for the report!
