I have a sphere that is deformed by a procedural texture and then sent to a mesh.

If I activate the attributes lightning_enable 1 and/or cull_face 1 in the mesh, my shape disappears when I rotate on the x or z axis.

With these 2 attributes deactivated, I can rotate without any problem.

I want to be able to rotate with these attributes enabled without my shape disappearing.

I've read through quite a few threads about this on this forum, but I haven't found (or realized I've found) a solution to this particular issue I'm having. I'm including a screenshot as opposed to a patch because my patch includes a bunch of abstractions. 

I've got a jit.movie object outputting a texture into a jit.gl.pix object, which scales and positions the video into jit.world. Currently, the texture is at the correct aspect ratio but I can't position the texture itself in any of the  space colored red. I know this is partly because the @preserve_aspect attribute is turned on for the jit.world object, but of course, once I turned that off, the texture is distorted. Is there a way to have the texture coming out of my jit.gl.pix object stretch to fit the window without altering the aspect ratio of the texture itself (which, again, is being fed into the jit.gl.pix object)?

I was working on an abstraction that would need to know if a given jit.gl object has a jit.anim.node attached to it (either with a cord or @anim attribute), and if it has, which is its top-level one.

Turns out the answer is far more complicated than expected, because from my testings I found out that:

I made some fancy js code to programmatically determine what is the top-level user-created jit.anim.node for a given jit.gl object knowing that these implicit world_anim and world_anim_master exist. It works when the gl object has user-created anim.node attached to it, but sadly not if there is none, as I cannot guess if the name coming from its @anim attribute is the name of a user-created or implicitly created jit.anim.node.

My hope is that the answer to that last question is not really important and I can use the implicitly created jit.anim.node for that jit.gl object, but it will depend on the answer from the second question.

Here's a patch demonstrating my investigations:

This is the last task I get in crash reports (EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)). The funny thing is that the crash can be triggered with various actions, which are at first glance completely unrelated to each other, and don't always provoke a crash, but every time it does, the last task is alway

. Sometimes, by looking at the previous tasks, it seems related to loading equirectangular maps into jit.gl.environment, sometimes to some jit.gl.slab, sometimes it's harder to say.

It comes from a gigantic patch with dozens of subpatchers and many interdependencies, so this + the irregularities of the crashes makes them very difficult to troubleshoot. The only constant is this task 0 

I struggle to find an actual culprit, so I would be grateful for any hint!

I'm trying to do a jitter project with a jit.gl.model object, however when I draw the model to a matrix it separates the render into 3 seperate parts that I have to flip through using the drawgroup attrui. when I want the complete model to do distortions to. any advice? thanks

I'm working on a video player that will heavily rely MAX's audio looping capabilities. I'm using the hap codec and I'm very happy with the quality of the loops with jit.movie~ compared to jit.movie, movies with audio don't loop well in the latter with a 200ms pause every time it loops.

But I'm encountering an abnormality when playing in reverse and more specifically with a negative rate and a loop argument set to 1, loop 2 works fine.

The playback exits the loop points range, with some erratic jumps and a frozen image.

It totally goes away if audio is switched off.

I'm on a mac with OSX10.14 with max 8.1.6, some colleagues tried it on windows and it seems to produce similar results. 

I'm attaching a demonstration patcher that is loading blading.mov from the media library (not in hap) but you can read any short movie with audio, the behaviour does slightly change depending on the audio and video codecs used.

I come here first before trying to implement my own ugly looping system by monitoring time_ms and using the jump_true message.

Yeah there is clearly some undesirable behavior here, and I will ticket this for further investigation and improvements. 

For now, your best option is probably disabling looping, and managing it yourself. This will allow you to highly customize to your needs, and order rate and seek messages for optimal behavior.

If you run into issues with that, I'm happy to offer suggestions.

One suggestion to make, as always with dynamic playback in Jitter, movie codec is important. Hap or prores are recommended over temporal-codecs like h264.

Is it possible to to use jit.gl.pix or another object to randomly position two videos (using two jit.movie objects) without having them overlap? 

I'm struggling to figure out how to do so. I'm thinking maybe I need to use codebox...? Regardless, I don't know how to set things up such that I can track the position of a video, as opposed to the position of each pixel (before cropping, zooming, etc in jit.gl.pix).

I'm working on a project where I want to distort an image and keep the alpha channel unchanged.

I tried making this happen by converting the textured effects into matrices, and a series of Jit.unpack  and jit.pack objects. I feel like I'm not approaching this in the right way...

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)
