Previously on vvvv: vvvvhat happened in April 2020
So where were we...
...right, we just released vvvv gamma 2020.1.3, the 3rd bug-fix release. Before that, we saw some impressive work by idwyr, ravel and andresc4 at the last worldwide meetup.
And all the time we're still heavily concentrating on VL.Stride, where we're making good progress and hope we can have at least some more demos out soon, before, obviously, we can't wait to give it into your hands. Meanwhile, the best way for you to prepare for its arrival is to make sure you feel comfortable with vvvv gamma. For which we have prepared a series of:
If those are not enough, be sure to not miss the weekly vvvv gamma therapy sessions run by domj.
But VL.Stride is not the only thing that is cooking: The last weeks we've also put a lot of effort into providing first-class support for depth cameras: Kinect v1, Kinect2, Azure Kinect, Orbbec Astra, Intel RealSense, the Nuitrack API and the Ultraleap Motion. Expect a separate blogpost and non-prerelease nugets for those soon...
Next step according to the roadmap is improving networking...

gimme gammavvvv gamma, the self-proclaimed next-big-thing in visual live-programming is ramping up on webinars in June: 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. |
June 5Introduction to creative coding with vvvv gammaHost: untone 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. |
June 9Introduction 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. |
June 11Building 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. |
June 12Using .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. |

We got Kat! A visual artist using vvvv since 2012 for interactive installations, VJ, Real time graphics and video production. Last 4 year I was also working as a vj in clubs/festivals and developed my own tool for vjing using WPF and vvvv. I will show the inside of the WPF project and vvvv patches to demonstrate how both communicate together, using midi controllers and OSC.

Travelling to severals music festivals and building light sculptures for dance floors inspired us to develop this light control software. Many years of experiences in live performing helped us to create this modular interface optimised for generative visuals.
Next to texture based animation you can work with 3d geometry in virtual space to create visuals on LED light matrices. This technique is very efficient by adapting to new light set ups and is giving a great room perception. The live performance interface is based on the Runtime Model by dottore model-runtime-editor-design-pattern. For the Show to luminale 2020 we integrated the timeline Tilda by nsynkhttps://discourse.vvvv.org/t/vl-tilda/17644 and created the light show „Binärtransformation - digitized life“https://www.luminale.de/projekte/digitales-leben
Unfortunately we didn’t had any visitors at Luminale 2020 thanks to corona. So we are waiting for the next change to build it up again.

Andres is a vvvv user since beta23. Rather than an artist he defines himself as a Maker. With a background in graphic design and electronics, he uses vvvv as a tool for all kind of hardware interactions, VJing, and professional work. He will show us a few of his projects and experiments made with vvvv, from fun electronics projects, dmx and pixel mapping, drones + shaders, vjing, and interactive lasers.
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!

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.

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
