TextureFX is essentially vvvvs answer to freeframeGL, i.e. a specification for modules that do GPU-based texture-generation, -manipulation and -analyis. The idea was triggered by karistouf in his thread with the almost poetic title pure-image-treatment-question-wich-evolution-for-vvvv and implementation is expertly lead by unc. The whole series of modules/effects is now part of the Addonpack.

TextureFX Specification 1.0

The modules are organized in the following categories using the mentioned in- and outputs:

EX9.Texture

Misc modules like "Resize" and "Preview" that are very general to the EX9.Texture category.

EX9.Texture Source

Modules returning a texture generated by the given input parameters.

• Any number of optional input parameters
• One texture output named Output

EX9.Texture Filter

Modules transforming the input texture by the given input parameters.

• One texture input named Input
• An optional texture input named Control for a per-pixel parameter
• Any number of optional input parameters
• One texture output named Output

EX9.Texture Mixer

Modules mixing/blending together/fading between multiple input textures.

• Multiple texture inputs named Input 1, Input 2,...
• A texture input named Control for a per-pixel parameter
• An input parameter called Blend that controls the fading between multiple textures.
• One texture output named Output

EX9.Texture Join

Modules taking different texture channels and combining them to one output texture.

• Multiple texture inputs named e.g. like Red, Green,...
• One texture output named Output

EX9.Texture Split

Modules splitting textures up into individual channels.

• One texture input named Input
• Multiple texture outputs named e.g. like Red, Green,...

EX9.Texture Analysis

Modules returning analysis data from a given input texture, like trackers,...

• One texture input named Input
• Any number of optional input parameters
• At least one output parameter
