suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
Heya I talked with swamidog on facebook a while ago and compiled a message linking to your ilda pipeline device to see if this could resolve some of the issues with the hardware availability regarding DigiSynth
I also linked him one of swamis shows saying he would be a good candidate for providing a re-appearance of DigiSynth.
I met the programmer during a convention in the United states in 2013 so it was all pure coincidence.
From memory while it was intended to be an all round software DigiSynth as its core was with a lot of abstract in mind and is very powerfull and abstracts are not my thing but most certainly are swami's hence the reason for that decision.
Hope something results from this.. I don't think the software should dissapear.
Imagine that it all worked out! Then going severely off topic would have saved Digisynth. Gotta love PL...
I hope it does! Chuck is an enthousiastic guy about his product but also been very honest about its progress, it's easy to make this out from his emails I'm sure he'd put time in his project if in his eyes its worth saving to resolve the bugs of his product.
Possibly the cost of DZ's hardware would push the cost down of DigiSynth.. possibly making it more reachable as well and increasing the userbase..who knows....literally just rambling here what is going to happen.. that is off course if they go for it.
Also dillweed sorry for derailing your thread.. I will check out the show.
I re read the message and you are right they would recommend a light pipe device that then would be used.
Couple of notes:
"There have been a few incarnations of the software, but unfortunately while many behind the scenes bugs were fixed in version 3 compared to 2, others were introduced, and most significantly, the timeline was never what it needed to be. "
"DS was written specifically for abstracts, but has very limited frame support. The talk was always that the frame stuff was easy, so we'd get the hard stuff out of the way, but I think that not doing it probably hurt us. We've recent;y discussed that over here, and I'm hopeful that we can do something eventually.
The problem is simply one of being willing to invest the limited time available into something that doesn't immediately have a financial payback, when there are so many other paying projects to be worked on. It is a very tough situation and we constantly struggle with it."
These quotes are from a follow up email in 2013 so they aren't very recent so I don't know if any progress has been made since.
