Maybe there's something obvious I'm missing here, but I couldn't find anything about this on the forums yet: jit.gl.meshwarp works well with basically any video source (usually even with direct matrix input) but won't display a specific source video I'm sending (which is a standard 4 plane jit.matrix - generated by some basic color controls). 

1) The source video displays fine when I connect it directly to a jit.pworld, also after I put it through a jit.gl.texture - so it's probably not a texture conversion issue 

2) The jit.gl.meshwarp connected to the source video is making a layer as expected, but it's transparent / showing nothing 

3) Basically anything else works - I included a fairly random jit.expr here which displays fine when connected to the same jit.gl.meshwarp 

(Sorry for the badly organized patch, this is pulled out of a bigger patch)

jit.gl.meshwarp doesn't show video? 

This is a bit of a niche question, but does anybody happen to know what text encoding system jit.gl.text uses to read from matrices for numbers outside the ascii printable character range? Everything from 33 to 126 outputs the correct corresponding ascii character, but I can't find any information about the higher numbers. 229 outputs a Chinese character; 239 outputs a Korean character; neither outputs are particularly common characters - so far the output seems completely random. Just to check these weren't somehow unicode, I also sent in matrix information encoded in three layers, but found that only changing the first layer char input actually modified the output. I know jit.gl.text can display any character (including non-alphabet characters) directly from a text message object; however, I specifically in this case need it to read from a matrix. 

Asian characters do also give, according to atoi, five-number unicode codes (for example, 日 outputs 26085). I tried changing the matrix data type but jit.gl.text only accepts char, so this five-number string can't be inputted anyways. I don't know of any standard which encodes Asian characters as char (literally impossible given the 1-byte limit), so I'm not sure what else can be done beyond the aforementioned (failed) strategy of sending multiple layers. A bit stuck on this one.

I'm a super beginner maybe doing something way out of my scope but I'm trying to create a point attraction system where the points in the mesh are my own custom image, I'm not sure how to make that happen trying jit.gencoord but it makes it so the points reflect a whole image rather than each point being an image itself.

i want to read a movie file and instantly play it not from the start, but from a random position. i'm triggering "read" followed by "jump" and "position", but in both cases the result is i see the first frame for a moment, and only then does the playback start from the desired position

(using playlist~ with "selection $1 1" works, but I don't want to preload my videos into a playlist~, i'd rather read them in as needed)

 randomly. I want the random argument to update automatically whenever a new video is added or removed, without manually adjusting it. How can I find out how many items are in the playlist?

I'm trying to create an audio interaction using jit.phys.body, where when the mouse hovers over an object for more than 5 seconds, the object defaults to the bound target object, such that only operations such as rotating, moving back and forth, etc., can be performed on the object, and the sound changes accordingly, both near and far. If the mouse does not move for more than 5 seconds, it means the binding target object is ended. How do I get the mouse to realize the binding and end the binding to the target object in this process, and how do I create a waiting animation while waiting for 5 seconds?

I'm using it.phys.body because I was looking at jit.phys.body's help to create multiple objects, but wasn't sure if there was another way to accomplish this.

I play an organ with an upper and lower manual transmitting midi on CH1 (upper) and CH2 (lower) note and velocity.

I want to use the midi values to colour 2 shapes (

.gridshape) - 1 shape for left hand and 1 shape for the right hand. That works fine.

However - I want to combine this with some beautiful point lights like in the  "point light" example from GL3-launch.

I managed to route the shader to my shapes but I had to duplicate 

 in order to make it work......but this also duplicated the shapes. :-( and also the jit.gl.gridshape "plane" receives now midi values and gets coloured what I do not want.

I'm struggling to understand how to use rotatexyz on a 3d object. I'm not sure if there is a bug, or it is just my limited understanding of how rotatexyz works.

I have an object I'd like to rotate around it's own axes. If I only rotate on an individual axis (x, y or z) it works as I would expect. However, when I start combining different rotations in multiple axes, the results are not what I would expect.

In the attached patch, for example, once I have rotated in z by 90 degrees, rotating in either x or y produce the exact same result. It looks like it's rotating around the world's y-axis, rather than the object's y-axis.

In fact, no matter what rotations are applied, the y-axis rotation always appears to be relative to the world's y-axis rather than object's. Is this a bug?

x-axis rotation appears to work as I would expect. No matter the orientation, rotating around x rotates the object perfectly around its x-axis.

I feel like I'm missing something. I want to apply rotations to the object relative to its own axes.

On a side note, for some reason, if I save and re-load the patch without closing Max, the axes don't automatically appear unless I fully close max and then re-open the patch. Is there a way to ensure the axes are visible every time the patch loads?

It's just gimbal lock, switching to using jit.anim.node and using rotate with @turnmode local did the trick.
