    After one day of doing basic tutorial stuff and then today doing experiments,,.. I am closer to what I like..



    This is a recording of some video stuff I did today in unity3d 2018.2.14f there are I guess endless ways to improve this,..I only used the same video for all the projections and the sounds became distorted.. easily solved by a separate source for sounds,..

    I believe blending layers of video is possible too ..

    Are there any ideas tips or tricks you might have for me to work with?

    So Yeah,.* I am Bill and that is my avatar of me.. next to the typing...here HI I live in NJ - which means I have to go to ny for the f2f stuff with unity.. this is ok..--- I have reached a turning point in my youtube account that being 4000 + video uploads and going.. so 000 I have decided to alter the presentation of the videos.. like. multiple screen mixes (I know glmixer does this quite well but less control-) and such as if the museum game was my video world was a walkthru = that just showcased the videos I have done.. 000 Maybe in a random kind of way if it is possible but for now I use the custom quad with the video in it(drag and dropped in the appropriate locations. In an aside does it just mean I don't know what I am doing(probably) ... because of the crashes so much... at least once or twice a day ... --- or more.. very slow loads (hour+) and such I guess I will deal with it -- I have a 3 year old gaming computer --- 8-64bit processors 1 core going at about 4 giga hz each. AMD.. thingy. dual monitors one vertical one horizontal... and this be no - match for the gaming designing work ends that are needed.=.. any way ===

    I don't know how the mods take to two posts in a row by the same person --- if this is a problem I can double back into an edit in the future and not double post... --- I am using this as my introduction to here the forums... as good a place as any..

    I thought there was an art section but mmmmm looking and did not see it where I had searched yesterday before posting.. --- though I thought I had seen it just the other day?

    today's task was to alter the videos being played in the custom quads --- that ended and crashed and burned.. restart ... the program 9 instances that the editor was not responding... OK.. :( end task.

    Three crashes later I know it is me making it crash but I made 8 minutes of video before the end,,..

    I can tell you are looking at this ... or mmm someone is maybe glancing at these posts ... OK

    after 4 blue screen crash reports and usually it can even restart...the computer == --- but during the initial startup - process (i have not been able to use unity 3d for a few days) so -- reinstall... MMMM OK

    Option one walk away mmmm ware the I walk away t-shirt (again)
    Option two keep trying
    option three (the one I have chosen) re install that program --- OK \

    just uninstalled unity 2018.2.14f1.. 64 bit
    now
    reinstall new download etc.. starting with unity hub... Rather then the starting with the program download. :) I am downloading from there the hub. :)

    ----------------


    I redid the above video with better audio.. :) needed it

    you can put video material into particles too, for an interesting effect :)

    if it crashes because of many separate videos,
    i'd probably try combining videos into single video, something like this
    upload_2018-11-5_15-40-41.png

    and then make custom quad meshes with suitable UV mapping to match for each video.
    (so its single material and single video for all of them)

    *although then cannot pause single video, and audio need to be combined too, or extracted into separate audio sources..

    yep got to try the particle video thing.. :) thanks for the reply

    but first --- after the fifth crash just now with a complete reinstall and- hub created program use..I figure == try again but also to install the previous version 2018.1/9f2 so it is installing that version. I just might put the whole program on the os drive rather than a different drive that has space.. IDK is that a type of problem not installing on the main os hard drive?

    crash six :( now trying the older build. :)
    crash seven can't seem to start the program looks like it crashes when- it loads the cache server... IDK dead end. ???

    Going to the manual for clearing the cache server :)

    deleted the cache server and containing folder for unity... --- installing to the os hard drive... limited amount of add ons.

    crash eight.. IDK going to delete all of it about 40 gigs+..... including projects.. IDK ... I want to use unity

    then I wait for Bug report == response

    yeah I guess I move on ... cause I deleted it all... and reinstalled..
    no luck crashes whole machine..

    I remember now why I had stopped using this program ... seems it was incompatible with some of the programs I have... installed (about 200 installed programs ... mostly things like redistributable .. things from microsoft.. so... I dropped the program ... back --- say three years ago.. forgot that was the reason and now... having same problem one of my programs or apps doesn't work --- and crashes everything the only other program that I had this problem with was

    the mandelbulber 64-bit open Computer language program... a fractal program I had to walk away from as well for the same reason. :( sadness.. in parting ... I might try this program again in like two or three years .. when I forget that was the reason I stopped using it. :( :( :(

    I do not know what program it is that is causing this to happen but :( I can't lose more time to the problem ===

    IF someone finds the list of incompatible programs and wants to compare my list to that... I will check back now and then for updates and such... and or ideas... the whole thing is very ...-

    I am not one to post over and over ... mmmmm but I am doing that just differnt time frames as I create unity projects and post my progress ,,,

    I got the video thing working ... Some intuitive and some direct tutorial workings assisted..

    this is the first result



    It is obviously breaking up I had this problem during audio recording and needed to configure the DAW to the number of threads and processors being used by my computer === is there a place to do that with unity? IDK

    I will search have not searched yet. just wanted to show that I have made a wild video player production..

    btw the video in the song is here.



    (I am getting closer to new results now)
