Re: [LAD] Controller images

just to be clear, phat uses the rendered output of my animated version of Thorsten Wilms' knob mesh. (i had no creative input at all, i just made Thorsten's mesh move) blender creates a sequence of knob sized frames (with an alpha channel, should that be desired) then, the image magick tool "convert" is used (eg "convert +append output.png *.png" to concatenate the frames into a large single image which can be easily loaded and manipulated programatically. (as is done in the phat knob and numerous other pixmap knobs derived from the galan C code) the method is independent of the code you use so there's no reason why it shouldn't be useful to you. in fact, it's so simple that i've duplicated your red knob design. see here for the blender (.blend) file: http://www.zenadsl6252.zen.co.uk/flat-red-100-frames.blend and here for the output: http://www.zenadsl6252.zen.co.uk/flat-red-100-frames.png it's trivial to change the number of frames, the colours used or the frame size and re-render it. you can also adjust the output filter to sharpen or soften the edges. i must admit though, that with a minimal design like this, you might do well to implement it algorithmically with drawing operations. then you can make run time changes to the appearance. if you want something more complex or tactile then you could use Thorsten's knob animation or give me a shout and i'll knock something out to your specs. (although, bear in mind that my blender skills are somewhat limited so it won't be a work of art =) pete. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev(a)lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-dev
