Hello. I have a question. I would like to use a quad mapping module on the output of a VP in Ai.
I don't know how to use it. If I connect it on the output the window is black.
It's working well on the canvas out of an object but I have 2 objets with a VP and I wanna use the Quad Mapping on the output of all. Not just the different screens.
Any idea?
Thank you.

sounds like you need to use a RenderToTexture module, which you can find from right click insert module/gl/RenderToTexture this will convert any yellow port into a green texture port.  You will need to specify the resolution at which you wish to do the conversion.  I suspect this will need to match the resolution you are going to output to the projector.

Let us know if this works for you or not.

Thanks

OK Sorry about that, try a 'Render Target' instead of 'Render to Texture', heres a picture showing how to wire it up.

Hi,
I've tried to reproduce your patch but when I change the media on fixtures, the output of Render Merge is not updated.

Arran, can you explain what the clear module exactly does ?

the clear module clears the buffer so that the next frame can be processed, without it you will notice that the image does not update when using a render target module.
