Hi everybody!
People (including myself) are having trouble with an image
downloader in an iterator. The idea is to have each iteration
display a different image. The outcome is that each iteration
displays the same image. As far as I can tell the last solution
offered on the list is to have a seperate image downloader for each
image in the folder, feed this into a multiplexer, and then have
each iteration take its image from the multiplexer. Works okay if
you have 20 or so images, but becomes tedious when you're working
with 200+ images.
My solution is to have an interpolation patch go through the
structure, where each index member gets fed into a demultiplexer,
whose index comes from that same interpolation patch. This way every
image winds up in it's own output port of the demultiplexer. Each
output is then fed into its corresponding input of a multiplexer.
This multiplexer has its index controlled by the iterator, and thus
feeds different images to each iteration. Please see the attached
example if that didn't make any sense. You'll need to change the
folder location to somewhere on your own drive of course.
You still have to connect every output of the demultiplexer to the
corresponding input of the multiplexer, which is tedious and
mindnumbing (so I guess it's the QC equivalent of rotoscoping) , but
even with 200+ images this is done relatively quickly.
This is the fastest workaround I've discovered so far. If anyone has
a quicker way, please let me know, because I use this technique a lot.
