jit.gl.camera basics



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. The default speed is a bit crazy, so you should probably lower it to about 10. 
@ui_listen lets you actively drive, @ease lets you tweak the easing of the motion. There are a few other parameters to tweak but these are the main ones.
@tripod stops the camera from twisting on the Z axis.

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...

hot cold inlets

With the + and - objects (and others! multiply too) , the function (addition or subtraction) won't actually occur until the left input is entered or changed. Once connnected the left one will look red (hot) and the right one will look blue (cold)
