GUI design: adventures in Blender.

Hi everyone!

I've started experimenting with Blender. I'm trying to rebuild a 2D design i made into 3D. The process is already well underway because i waited for the new forum to launch before starting a thread.

The "original":

Some working shots of the 3D version (work in progress, obviously):

The idea is to, when everything is built up, render each panel element separately so that what you will see in Reaktor is a top view like this, with all the controls in perspective view.

Like so:

Still plenty of work to do on this before i can start to try rendering and compositing, but so far it's going pretty good.

I don't have many details right now, and i'm learning as i go, but more later.

Feel free to ask me anything.

Greets,

Peter

Thanks Bolle, I wonder if the circles can work like a single multi colored single lamp. Like show only the red when the button is off and only green when the button is on. I'm thinking it doesn't work that way though and sorry for not knowing. I think I may have to use the RGB lamp over the button and turn the button display off. But this button works, it's not red and green though so maybe there is a way. Do you have a Mac or something, wondering how you have version 6.5.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

If you use the 2 frame version it does show only green when on and red when off. Be it a lamp or a button or whatever.

And 6.5 is the latest and current version for anyone who has cared to update.

What is the equivalent of the Primary 'Selector / Scanner' module in Core?

I need to fade between 4 audio signals.

Useful to have these core macros.

I don't get it, I did update Reaktor and it's fully updated so I'm as stumped as you are. I took the picture you gave me and it shows the two circles side by side and can press on either one of them to toggle the button. Totally weird.

This is the basic crossfade, the 4 inputs can be any audio source. I linked them to one dial. It will crossfade two stereo inputs. Could be what you need.

Hi Koan, got any idea how Bolle has reaktor 6.5, I updated to the recent version yesterday and got this.

BOOM! Problem solved. Thank you very much indeed KoaN.

Anybody know an easy way to phase shift a Core oscillator?

I'm rebuilding my Beezlebaum oscillator in Core, and i think i need this.

Expect a rack ready Beezlebaum OSC block on the User Library some time soon, if i can get the pulse wave ingredients to line up properly.

This is what I get.

Can you take a snapshot of your version.I updated to the last update and got this.

It shows under "help"

Bolle

You need to go to the Button's image properties window and set the image orientation and the amount of frames. In this case, the original image is horizontal and the frame number is two.

Like so:

The second image i sent you is three frames and shows an in-between state when you "push" the button.

And no i can't. Take it up with someone from NI. Not in my thread.

No idea on this,i know some people had issues with Native access...search the forum for this,there have been some posts.

Bolle

Get the latest version of Native Access. That solved it for me.

Bolle

Working on a little something.

GUI almost finished.

This oscillator block will likely not have FM input. Not sure yet. 'Gate' input is oscillator reset. I think this oscillator needs it, but i'll do some testing without reset input and see what happens.

Build-wise, i still have to implement the same PW narrowing in the last part of the wave control. Pulse width will get narrower toward the end. No idea how i'm going to do this yet.
