Howdy list,

I'm very curious about getting smooth animations (using OpenGL),

especially for non-realtime (frame-by-frame, using bline to drive

presets) recording. I created this patch as part of a system for doing

that - starting a save, stopping a save, all without losing frames, and

recording frame-by-frame without skipping any. Can someone look this

over and tell me if this is an efficient method for doing this? My

biggest issue was working out a way of banging the jit.gl.render

object, reading that video to a matrix, saving it via jit.qt.record,

and then banging again when done, without causing a stack overflow.

There are comments in the attached patch that explain the process.

Basically, I use onebang as a gate after the main qmetro (which drives

the patch) to prevent the state of the jit.gl.* objects from changing

before the frame finishes rendering. But it's possible that I'm

missing something, using a qmetro on one end and jit.qball on the

other. It does seem to work very well, though.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Best,

Evan
