Problem instancing shapes

[optischeskaos]

Hello there,

Hello,

I cannot manage to create multiple instances of some nodes. Yet it is obviously possible, for example, in the tutorial patch "The Order of Oscillators", there is a rectangle node with 16 instances.

In this wire instancing training video (https://resolume.com/training/3/16/95), it is also clearly visible that changing the amount of instances should be possible via an attribute.

My resolume wire (version 7.15.0.23381) is showing different information than in the training video:

I cannot change the amount of instances, nor can I create any shape node with multiple instances myself.

Some nodes, like sine for example, allow me to change the amount of instances, clearly visible as an attribute.

What am I missing?

Thank you and kind regards

The video was made with an early Wire release. It might have still had the instancing option for the circle node. The auto instancing Wire does for you since that release should be good for most use cases.

Try connecting an instanced float to the circle radius, if you'd like to have different sized circles. That will change the Circle instance count.

If one size is enough, connecting a single instance circle to a transform which receives multi instanced input on other params, will have the circle expanded to all the transform instances.

Great, thanks for the answer!

I am having this same issue as I'm following the tutorial patches and the first animation section says to read about instances and I can't seem to figure out how the rectangle is becoming 16 rectangles?

I just tried with a circle and this is what it looks like:

I don't understand. I plan to go through more videos and the rest of the tutorials and am excited to dive in. I guess the circle does have a count of 7 listed there and I just need to learn more as this is my first week going at this but I'm very curious how the rectangle in 1.The Order of Oscillators ends up being a 16 for the rectangle.

Basically all I'm trying to understand is how do I make the 16 rectangles and then I feel like I'll understand the rest of that tutorial patch.

Thanks!

With this shot, you have 7 circles, all the same size.
These will get drawn on top of each other, unless you move them.
