This afternoon I managed to isolate and solve the issue that was causing the mira presets to irrevocably cause the particles to disappear. Apparently there were 3 shaders I missed on including in the executable build.
With those files included in my latest compile, mira for video is fully functional again!
Also for the Synthesis Dev Team Etudes:
I put together 2 template patches for using the o4.net send/receive objects (1 for sending, 1 for receiving) and 1 large patch that show blob tracking from camera input all the way to sorting
the blobs and normalizing blob data (x/y/mass). I put the patches on the desktop of the video computer in folders labeled "Network Templates" and "Video Templates".
