Resolume seems to be the standard for professional VJing. Any free alternatives, for Mac?
Piece of advice: if you want to buy Resolume (and I do recommend it, it's fantastic): the only discount they do all year is on Black Friday, 50% off. So that is THE day to buy a license. And if you happen to be a student or teacher of a related field (or know anyone who is), you can get an additional 50% on that, and buy it for 25% of the total price.
It connects to pioneer gear and changes visualizer patterns and loops and shaders in sync with the music structure.
It uses canvas and webgl so you can write your own JavaScript to control things.
There will be a free and open source version.
Thanks for your patience, I’m working down the Show HN checklist as we speak.
I was considering submitting a Show HN post too when it hits that point, but didn’t know if there was much interest on here. Turns out there is!
For anyone who is interested, the app I’ve been working on can be found here -> https://hydra.virusav.com
It’s FLOSS and the repo is here -> https://github.com/n3uromanc3r/hydra
Weirdly earlier today (prior to seeing this post) I considered starting a sister project to hydra that allows you to build a mixer and visual pipeline using a node-based system instead of the more rigid standard mixer setup.
I learnt a lot from using that, eventually writing my own project mapping apps.
Unity, Godot, Unreal
i've seen it accomplished but never found any resources on how to achieve it.
