I'm searching for ideas for visualizing GPX file data.

I already wrote a little python script that extracts the latitude, longitude, and elevation points from a hike i did. Now i want to transform these into a visual representation.

E.g. the lat and long values could be used to draw the route. This would be my first approach, but i don't know where to start.

I thought about filling up a jit.matrix with these data points. How could i do this?

I am digitizing a large collection of scanned family photos (1920s-1990s) and would like to batch color-correct and restore them. Right now I process them one by one and it takes forever.

Has anyone built a jitter-based pipeline for this kind of work? I am thinking of something like: jit.qt.movie / jit.bfg to load scans, auto-levels with jit.expr or jit.bfg.color, then write back with jit.qt.record. Also wondering how people handle dust and scratch removal in Max - is there a known external or a clever jit.gl.pix shader approach?

Another question is rising in my journey with jitter:

I'm currently working on a project, where i want to record my jit.world render output via syphon in OBS (btw: is this a up-to-date way to record the jit.world output?).

The jit.gl.syphonserver help file says you have to include a jit.gl.camera object in your patch. This brings the syphon output in OBS in the correct format - this works fine!

But also, the enabled jit.gl.camera object changes the output in the jit.world view. This seems to be normal i guess, because the camera object should introduce a new viewpoint for the rendering scene. But can i prevent this behaviour? 

The camera object is in my case only needed to bring the syphon output in the right format.

When using a jit.geom.texgen with a jit.geom.shape, result seems ok with type planner or triplanar.

With type spherical, texture mapping is linked to face, not vertex (whatever the shape: sphere, cone...)

Really like the Polish Your Pixels package, and the Max 9 amazing improvements in jitter, and have seen some of the visuals being produced on the youtube shorts, and really impressed! Great work, very inspiring.

I have been trying to get to grips with the tutorial viewer in polish your pixels, and have had some great results (in my opinion!), but I have been struggling to figure out how to use the jit.gl.pass object with @fxname dof-hq properly. 

I was using a gl.gridshape going into to a gl.multiple to produce lots of shapes, and then have some in and out of focus, much like the examples look like in the scale and distance tutorial viewer side bar. But I wasn't able to get anything like it. I also tried to use the same settings I could see being used in the tutorial. The focus controls seems to bring all of the shapes in or out of focus. I even just tried with 2 gridshapes, positioned quite far apart on the z axis to see if I could see the focus 'working', but had the same result, again everything in or out of focus. Also when I use the 'show in focus' toggle everything disappears.

So I think my question is, am I using the wrong object (gridshape) to try to see this camera focus effect? Do I have to use a setting in the 

 to enable this? Does the @position of the gridshape not effect it's 3d depth in the depth of field fx? Are the patches used in polish your pixels available somewhere? I'm using a windows 11 machine.

I'm using noise to position multiple instances of two different shapes in 3D space. In Gen I'm sorting the noise based on it being greater than or less than 0.5 so I have two black and white matrices which are then multiplied by normalised coordinates to get the position values. As there are a number of cells that have a value of 0 in each position matrix, a lot of the shapes are positioned at 0,0. 

Is there a way to only pass values greater than 0 to the jit.gl.multiple objects in my patch?

I'm making a 3D environment to position sound sources for spatial audio. I'm using jit.gl.tf to take the pressure off the CPU. I want to use a separate buffer for a target that the particles are attracted to. How come in doing so the other three particles disappear (or are maybe all rendered at the same position?). I can't have a buffer with the same POSITION state so I'm using VERTEX_ATTR0 instead
