jit.gl.camera basics

Image
jit.gl.camera is the camera object. It starts off at position 0, 0, 2. That's 2 units "out towards the screen". Z positive is out of the screen towards you. You can set the position using the @position attribute with floats. Or, you can drive the camera using WASD, QZ and the mouse.

one way of loading a movie file is to use the "jit.movie" object, with a few parameters.  jit.movie @vol 0 @moviefile bball.mov the @vol 0 reduces the volume to zero, sometimes you don't want the audio from your video file @moviefile specifies the file. bball.mov is a built-in movie file. You might have a full path, or even a file on the desktop. eg. Desktop:/myname.mov  The jit.movie object also needs a way to display - use a jit.pwindow. Plug the left output into the pwindow's left input. You'll also need to bang the jit.movie to update the pwindow! You could plug a button (b) into the jit.movie and keep pressing it......... But this is going to be annoying to do manually, so we can use a "metro" object (which is metronome) and specify how often we want to send a bang message. This is measured in milliseconds. To achieve 30 fps you'd use a value of 33. Because 1000/30 = 33.3333333333 So, hit n, type metro 33 then have that connected to the input of...
