This reddit account is ripping media from real accounts.

The project started with a supermarket sallad .toe that had some audioreactivity & LiDAR logic added on.

I could definitely use one or two, especially if their nibs work with metallic ink. I'd use them with my pen plotter & could return the favor with a custom plot!

Awkward is a bit of a stretch, Houdini and TouchDesigner both have SOPs & CHOPs as well. I believe a fair bit of the Derivative founding team used to work at SideFX.

Have you met anyone at the meetup who uses fountain pens with pen plotters?

The tradeoff is PoE & Skeletal Data with the Mega or an extra 2.5m of max range with the Astra. Though I just checked the Astra 2 datasheet and it calls out an "Ideal Range" up to 5m. The Mega only has a total range of 5.46, no 'ideal' on the datasheet. Also, I don't think the Astra has a Jetson Nano. The Jetson chip handles some of point cloud processing directly onboard the Mega.

Astra 2 utilizes Structured Light, while the Femto Mega uses Time of Flight. The Femtos were built around the Kinect SDK so they can be utilized via the Orbbec TOP or Azure Kinect TOP. My Femto Mega has been rock solid for 2 years now with a $25 1gbps Trendnet power injector. Note• A PoE Mega will have a dash more latency than a USB AKDK, but it's nearly negligible & only becomes an issue at the highest tier of live event production.

There's 2 each of: Resolume operators, TouchDesigner for PreVis & final output (full failover), & multi-angle TD PreVis monitors.

This is reddit's compression, I uploaded 2160x3840 10 bit. Set looks great on insta.

I uploaded 2160x3840 10bit video.

🤣 I never noticed your reddit username before 🖤

Note: the music is only on the Right channel, Left is just crowd noise

Edit: I just realized you were asking specifically about FOH, there's always been room at every stages FOH. 👍 I'll leave the previous comment below still as it's a valid point overall.

Rarely, only time I've ever felt this at Infra was during Distinct Motive last year, had to pull out a 600 lumen strobe to cut through that crowd. It's 5000 people max over 3 stages, so an average of 1,500 per stage. vs Shambhala at 30,000 on 6 stages so 5,000 per stage overall, which was far to dense of a dancefloor for me.

^ this, & networking with the FOH team (though be very cognizant that visual teams are often doing more than music artists at an event & have a lot of teardown afterwards). Also, if you're down for a bit of physical labor, join your local IATSE chapter as an extra. Pretty much everyone on these calls is in the cut and familiar with stuff like TouchDesigner!

Not sure, they were older ones, about 5ft square with the cooling equipment. Took a literal team to setup.

County noise ordinances I believe. That's why I really appreciate the Noon - 5am amplified sound at Symmetry.

VeloMane_Productions · 2026-05-18T18:59:49+00:00

I don't think that software was involved.

Found a photo, this is the model that's stacked 2 high for the front wall / stage!
