Resolume Forum

I found this in a thread in the #wire channel on Slack:

Yeah textures are never copied.
Only when you modify a texture it needs to allocate a new one
If you expand a texture to a list of 10000 that’s all simply a reference to the same texture

Without a clear reference manual, what do you suppose the AI is going to be trained on to be able to give answers that aren't completely "hallucinated"?

By "your wire plug-in and Resolume use the same in an output ports", do you mean that, when a Wire patch is running inside Resolume (as a source, effect or mixer), that the OSC In/Out nodes do work amd the OSC settings are Resolume's OSC settings?

To correct any misinterpretation:

No slices: 60fps (capped by framerate of output screen)
1 slice: 3 fps.

I should mention that I can output a dozen of that same kind of slice without such appalling framerate, so something else must be the issue here. The Edge, maybe?

Could slices be turned into geometry / meshes instead of signed distance fields?

I'm not sure if there is a language/cultural barrier here. I am asking WHY there is no Wire Spout In/Out facility, not what other facilities exist in Resolume.

Wire 7.24.1
- On first load it was showing the mess of incorrectly joined edges. Seems to occur only if the "Stage Droid with Masks" demo set is used in combination with a different set; displays correctly if all the masked set
- Still crashes when changing Slice In demo sets

Arena 7.24.1
- Slice ...

Yes, I know that; I have used those features for years.

I take it you mean to say that there is no Spout In nor Spout Out facility for Wire plugins in Resolume.

My question is: why?

Am I the only one who wants to do things like create mixers that Spout out their result so I don't have to insert ...

Please demonstrate.

I can use Spout In and Spout Out in the Wire editor , but they don't work in Resolume . Supposing they do work, how/where do you specify the name of the Spout source?

By sub-optimal I mean that there was a small but noticeable difference between an FFGL plugin I made and the Wire port where the fragment shader code is basically the same; my guess was that an extra texture copy was happening somewhere, because that was happening with FFGL plugins.

If Wire is "top ...
