Super Duper fast but here is some of what I was trying to go for with the pix-elated live feed video footage in Processing. And I owe this to Peter who suggested I move the sequence with which the events occurred within the code. See the code below the video. Still not quite what I would like but that’s it for now…
Code:
import processing.video.*; // Step 1. Import the video libraryint cellsize = 5; // Dimensions of each cell in the gridint cols, rows; // Number of columns and rows in our system
Capture video; // Step 2. Declare a Capture object
MovieMaker mm; // Declare MovieMaker object
void setup() { size(640,400,P3D);
// Step 3. Initialize Capture object via Constructor // video is 320 x 240, @15 fps video = new Capture(this,640,400,24);
cols = width/cellsize; // Calculate # of columns rows = height/cellsize; // Calculate # of rows
// create movie maker object with size, filename // compression codec and quality, framerate mm = new MovieMaker(this, width, height, “my pixel video.mov”, 30, MovieMaker.H263, MovieMaker.HIGH);}
void draw() { background(255); // Check to see if a new frame is available if (video.available()) { // If so, Step 4. Read the image from the camera. video.read(); }
// if (mouseX < width/2 && mouseY < height/2){
// tint(10,200,200);
// }
if (mouseX > width/2 && mouseY > height/2) {
tint(255,0,0); }
// Step 5. Display the video image. image(video,0,0);
mm.addFrame(); // Add window’s pixels to movie
// Begin loop for columns for (int i = 0; i < cols; i++ ) { // Begin loop for rows for (int j = 0; j < rows; j++ ) { int x = i*cellsize + cellsize/2; // x position int y = j*cellsize + cellsize/2; // y position int loc = x + y*width; // Pixel array location color c = video.pixels[loc]; // Grab the color
// Calculate a z position as a function of mouseX and pixel brightness float z = (mouseX/(float)width) * brightness(video.pixels[loc])- 50.0;
// Translate to the location, set fill and stroke, and draw the rect pushMatrix(); translate(x,y,z); fill(c); noStroke(); rectMode(CENTER); rect(0,0,cellsize*2,cellsize*2); popMatrix(); } }
mm.addFrame(); // Add window’s pixels to movie}
void keyPressed() { if (key == ‘ ‘) { mm.finish(); // Finish the movie if space bar is pressed! }}
// stops video live feedvoid mousePressed() { video.stop();}
