Processing and Resolume running a side eachother

Post by meiuqer »

Hi, first off, yes i know there are a lot of topics on this and i know you can use Syphon on Mac (is it out on Windows yet?) but i have an other question :)

So, if you run a processing frame and over that a Resolume frame, is it possible to make the resolume frame transparant and show the processing frame? Or vice versa? Make processing frame transparent and show whats underneath?
Would solve a lot of problems imho :)
Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but dont think this specificcaly so ...

You have different modes on each layer you mix, just like photoshop or aftereffects. so if you run a black background and have it on mode ADD then black will be transparent, I run processing and other software on a other computer and capture via a blackmagic PCI card. works wonderful.

basically in processing in your setup and or void function add

background (0);

The way I understand it, Meiuqer is asking about running Processing on a transparent canvas so he can overlay it over other outputs. Something along these lines: http://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/74380

Background(0); just creates a black background within the Processing player, not a transparent one.
