Hey

I've been a way from Vuo for a minute but have returned in an attempt to make a quick FFGL plugin for Resolume. The goal is to augment the keystone, or four-point transform tool, to include points midway between each corner. This allows for a very quick 'Z-perspective' transform, pushing or pulling the centre of the image from the viewer.

I can't figure out the best way to go about this, whether I should be sending the input imagine to the surface of a cube that is rotated 45º (y axis), or to a mesh object with these extra points, that can then be adjusted on the x & y coordinates.

Any thoughts would be super helpful. I feel like this should be a fairly straight forward tool but I can't wrap my head around which node to focus on.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Jean Marie! Thank you for the advice.

This is close but not quite the result I am looking for - I have found a bit of a solution, by duplicating the picture and rotating both in opposite directions on the Y axis. I can then crop the two layers to create the opposite perspective effect.

I wonder if this will be more CPU/GPU intensive since I am doubling the input - which will be realtime in Resolume. If it were possible to stretch or pinch the 'centre' points on the top and bottom edges, I feel like this would be a lighter composition.

I would be interested to know your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Thanks for the thoughts! This

Thanks for the thoughts! This has been the solution now and seems to work quite well.

This is probably an obvious question but if I design an FFGL plugin with Vuo, for Resolume, what are the chances it will work on PC? I'm thinking 0 ? Probably a different file format...
