Here is!
The first bug-fix release for vvvv gamma is available for download and purchase now!
The highlight of this release is the updated helpbrowser which makes it even easier to find help. It now allows you to search for terms across all different types of help content.
Want to know more about the different types of help the helpbrowser is offering? Here we're trying to follow the excellent suggestions we found in: The documentation system. A must-read for anyone interested in the topic of documentation!
For the full list of changes, see theLog of Changes.
Happy patching!
Just a quick heads-up!
Everybody's favorite gray book has moved to a new location:
No change in content or structure at this point. Still a lot to do...
As you can spot in the top-right corner, we also have a Change Log section where we're keeping track of the changes and releases of vvvv gamma from now on.
Ovvvver and out.
gimme gammavvvv gamma, the self-proclaimed next-big-thing in visual live-programming is ramping up on webinars in May: We have introductions for beginners in 3 languages and dive into more detailed topics for intermediate and advanced users. There should be something for everyone! If you're missing a specific topic or would like to teach a webinar yourself, please get in touch via: david.bruell@nodeforum.org Organized with the help and support of NODE and their new Institute. |
May 7Introduction to creative coding with vvvv gammaHost: joreg Get started with creative coding using the new all-new visual programming environment vvvv gamma. In this webinar we're starting from scratch: You'll learn the fundamentals of building little interactive programs. Afterward, you'll be able to follow further workshops or take the next steps on your own, continuing with online learning resources. |
May 8Introduction to Object Oriented PatchingHost: joreg You're familiar with the basics of vvvv gamma but now want to learn more? In this webinar, we're introducing you to the concepts of object-oriented programming that will change the way you think about solving your patching problems. |
May 14Introduction to Reactive PatchingHost: tonfilm You're familiar with the basics of vvvv gamma but want to learn more? In this webinar, we're introducing you to the basic concepts of reactive programming that will make you understand how to work with Observables, react to events and run computations in a background thread. |
May 15Building a game from scratchHost: joreg Once you're familiar with the basics of a programming language you need a little challenge. Building a game from scratch is usually a good way of diving deeper. Games have all the aspects of proper applications. They require you to handle user input, manage the game logic, maybe keep a high-score or save a state to disk so it can be recalled the next day. So in this webinar we're going to build a simple game and along the way get familiar with how to structure the different components of applications. |
May 21Visual programming for CodersHost: elias You are familiar with words like class, method, interface and generics? You are curious how visual live-programming with vvvv gamma can speed up your development process? Great, then this workshop is for you! vvvv is a visual live programming environment that allows you to build and change .NET applications in real-time while they are running, thanks to incremental compilation and state hot-reload. Oh, and we are serious about this – everything is statically typed. |
May 22Introduction au creative coding avec vvvv gammaHost: sebescudie Initiez-vous au creative coding avec le tout nouvel environnement de programmation vvvv gamma. Dans ce webinaire, nous partons de zéro : vous apprendrez les bases nécessaires pour concevoir de petits programmes interactifs. Par la suite, vous pourrez suivre d'autres workshops ou bien apprendre seul, grâce à des ressources d'apprentissage en ligne. |
May 23Introducción a creative coding con vvvv gammaHost: ravazquez Empecemos a aprender "creative coding" utilizando vvvv gamma, el nuevo ambiente de programación visual. En este webinar empezaremos desde cero: aprenderemos los conceptos fundamentales para construir pequeños programas interactivos. Al finalizar, tendremos lo necesario para movernos a otros webinars o tomar los siguientes pasos en nuestras propias manos, continuando con material educativo en línea. |
May 25Using .NET nugets with vvvv gammaHost: sebescudie You've heard that with vvvv you can simply use any of the more than 100.000 .NET libraries available on http://nuget.org? In this webinar we'll show you how easy it is to do that and how to navigate common issues that you may encounter doing so. |
May 29Building applications with vvvv gammaHost: dottore Thanks to vvvv gamma we can now properly structure the architecture of our applications… and there are so many ways to do it! |
Previously on vvvv: vvvvhat happened in March 2020
Here we are now,
vvvv beta just got a bugfix 39.1 release. Nothing big, just getting rid of some annoyances and preparing for the upcoming beta40 which will include latest VL!
We're a month after the initial release of our revvvvolution in visual live-programming. We got some nice feedback on Hacker News, noobusdeer and yar are running a weekly series (in Russian) about it, domj started a therapy session for it and i believe that all the webinars we ran so far were quite well received. This is why we have some more upcoming:
It seems the initial release of vvvv gamma also runs quite stable so far. We haven't heard of any showstopper buggers, which allows us to already prepare the upcoming releases. We've outlined our next steps on the roadmap page.
Most heavy lifting at the moment is happening towards wrapping VL.Stride into an easily usable 3d engine for everyone. Still hard to make any predictions regarding a preview release, but we hope to at least be able to show some progress soon.
So you see, we're far from bored...In case you are, here are two things for you to watch:
- The recording of my intro to vvvv gamma talk I held at Ircam some weeks ago where I'm also casually using VL.Stride already...
- The recording of the 2. worldwide vvvv meetup from last week with many nice goodies being presented...
And finally, if you need a vvvv specialist or are one yourself, check out this new listing of vvvv specialists available for hire.

helo evvvveryone,
this is vvvv beta39.1, a bug-fix release. It does not yet include the anticipated update to latest VL, which we save for upcoming beta40. We just want to get another stable version out before such a bigger update that including latest VL will mean.
Remember that via VL you have access to many more goodies. Here is a convenient list of VL nugets that work with this release. To learn how to install nugets please consult this documentation and then use these commands to install them:
(To use the latest version of these nugets you'll have to wait for upcoming beta40 or use gamma2020.1)
nuget install VL.OpenCV -Version 0.2.141-alpha nuget install VL.Devices.Kinect2 -Version 0.1.45-alpha nuget install VL.Devices.Realsense -Version 0.1.7-alpha nuget install VL.GStreamer -Version 1.0.18-gadcd7f95e5
nuget install VL.Audio -pre nuget install VL.IO.M2MQTT -pre nuget install VL.IO.NetMQ -pre nuget install VL.2D.DollarQ -pre nuget install VL.2D.Voronoi -pre nuget install VL.Animation.ParticleSystem -pre nuget install VL.ColorBlender -pre nuget install VL.ColorThief -pre
nuget install VL.DBSCAN nuget install VL.StringExtensions nuget install VL.2D.Simplify nuget install VL.InfluxDB

Vadim used vvvv+shaders as a weapon-of-choice for ~10 years, doing high profile VJing/videomapping/installations for living (teaming with antokhio, idwyr, vux, etc. for studio projects. A few years ago he switched to the neural networks, using vvvv now mostly for integration and/or simple extra tasks. Vadim will show few examples of such usage (spout/osc integration, image pre/post-processing), as well as some key findings and achievements in general
Natan Sinigaglia
finally dottore will present the current status of VL.Elementa
Here is the plan: We'll be using again a video-conferencing platform for moderators and presenters and will be streaming out to evvvveryone via youtube and possibly other channels as well. Updates on how to use the back channel will be given. Live stream link will be provided here!
Want to join with your presentation?
Please get in touch via meetup@vvvv.org and let us know what you want to present. We'll then get back to you and organize for the streaming.
Hope to get some more international vvvvolks in this way...
we are looking forward to this! a_a_a_a david joreg sebl
helo evvvveryone,
we're preparing for a vvvv beta39.1 release and here is a first release candidate. As you'll see in the change-log it is a rather minor update with only fixes. It does not yet include the anticipated update to latest VL, which we save for upcoming beta40. We just want to get another stable version out before such a bigger update that including latest VL will mean.
Remember that via VL you have access to many more goodies. Here is a convenient list of VL nugets that work with this release. To learn how to install nugets please consult this documentation and then use these commands to install them:
(To use the latest version of these nugets you'll have to wait for upcoming beta40 or use gamma2020.1)
nuget install VL.OpenCV -Version 0.2.141-alpha nuget install VL.Devices.Kinect2 -Version 0.1.45-alpha nuget install VL.Devices.Realsense -Version 0.1.7-alpha nuget install VL.GStreamer -Version 1.0.18-gadcd7f95e5
nuget install VL.Audio -pre nuget install VL.IO.M2MQTT -pre nuget install VL.IO.NetMQ -pre nuget install VL.2D.DollarQ -pre nuget install VL.2D.Voronoi -pre
If you have other public nugets that you tested to work with this release, please post them in the comments so we can all mention them in the upcoming release notes!

And as always, please test and report your findings!
This is my talk at Ircam earlier this year, where I tried to introduce vvvv gamma to an audience not necessarily familiar with vvvv but most likely already with the idea of visual programming. Given the fact that Ircam was the birthplace of Max and PD which are still both in heavy use there.
In 25 minutes I tried to give a glimpse at vvvv by focusing on four things that I believe make it shine:
- Loops
- Multithreading
- Object Oriented Patching
- Extensibility
Also I pretended that it is completely normal to already have a 3d engine with it...
For talk description and recording of other talks see: https://medias.ircam.fr/xcc0abe
In these corona times, it is comforting to know that there are vvvv users out there who have years of experience and are available to help you get things done. Not only for free, but also as professionally paid specialists. So we created this long-overdue list:
The list is manually maintained by the individuals on it. It gives you an overview of who is available right now. Services include:
- Freelance work
- Consulting
- Production and project management
- Personal tutoring
- Group workshops
- Collaborative artworks
Are you a vvvv specialist yourself?
Then please add yourself to the page whenever you're available for hire. Also please remove yourself in times you're occupied so that it is easier for those looking for someone to find relevant entries.
Are you a business?
Make sure you're listed on the businesses page.
Do you have a job offer?
Please announce it on the job board.
Now is a good time to get in touch with people or learn something new. Because one day coroner will be a goner and then you will be so ready for things to come!
Previously on vvvv: vvvvhat happened in February 2020
It happened!
As if it was yesterday when we first announced our plans for what is now vvvv gamma. It has finally landed. Please read all about it in the still hot vvvv gamma 2020.1 release announcement.
So now is really the time to jump onto it and for this, besides the growing number of video tutorials, in April, we offer this series of webinars.
Despite corona, meetups are still happening, but online! This means that now everybody can join us and present what they're working on. Get inspired by the recording of the first edition and if you have something to show or discuss, please head over to the #2 vvorldvvide Meetup and let us know.
