Another one:
This workshop is for generative artists who start to explore the power of vvvv gamma’s 3D Engine (VL.Stride).
The online Workshop will guide you through the process of creating the title image used for the release of vvvv gamma 2021.3 as seen here.
In the course of 3 hours we’ll create this generative image step-by-step without cutting any corners. Every single topic and technique involved will be covered, only as much as needed. To be honest, we’ll just scratch the surface of what’s possible, but this will give you a good head start into the amazing construction kit that vvvv is.
You will learn how to:
- Create a generative 3d structure
- Render the scene efficiently by using instancing
- Define and assign materials to the instanced objects
- Deal with performance issues while rendering the 4k image
- Split up the patch into separate parts to avoid a mess and enhance performance, even when you are "just" prototyping.
Requirements:
- You should be familiar with the basics of patching in vvvv gamma.
- These videos will help you with that:
Recording:
- This workshop will be recorded. In case you cannot make it on the date of the event, you will have the possibility to purchase a separate access to the recording afterwards.
- By buying a ticket for this live workshop you agree that your image, voice and screenshare are part of the recording and thus will be available for everyone afterwards.

Hi all!
For the 10 people still using VPM these days, today VPDB (or vvvvpm.github.io) the frontend for installing packs via VPM will probably stop working as Github stops supporting the application authentication method that site was using. Unfortunately I don't have time nor incentive to maintain that site anymore. VPM doesn't require this site to work, however it was a key part of installing packs with it. Direct links using the vpm:// or vpms:// URI schemes still work, for example on contribution pages. vpack files uploaded to VPDB are actually safe and sound at https://github.com/vvvvpm/vpdb repository.
In case you desperately need to install something from that repo, you can use the raw content URL of a file from the repo and just replace the http part with vpm. For example
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vvvvpm/vpdb/master/devvvvs/vvvv/latestalpha_auto.vpack
becomes
vpms://raw.githubusercontent.com/vvvvpm/vpdb/master/devvvvs/vvvv/latestalpha_auto.vpack
Or you can clone that repo and just use VPM file associations on .vpack files.
Sorry for the inconveniences and god-speed!

Hurray. Another one:
This workshop is for interaction designers who work with vvvv. The online workshop by vvvvamous sebescudie will introduce you to tools enabling you to leverage machine learning capabilities in your own vvvv patches.
As the name of the webinar suggests, we’ll talk about machine learning through the prism of interactive installations. We won’t go into much details inside the math behind it. This is actually the whole point of this webinar: there are some tools out there that can help us leverage the capabilities of machine learning without having to know too much about what’s under the hood.
Through a series of practical examples (and a tiny bit of theory!), we’ll try to understand what machine learning is, and how using it can help us in our everyday patching life, and allow us to do things that would be very tedious to do without it.
You will learn how to:
- What are machine learning and deep learning
- Use RunwayML trained model in your vvvv patches
- Talk to the Wekinator
- Train your own models with Microsoft Lobe

We're meeting up on April 27th, 8pm CET to catch up and get insights into what everyone is patching on. How will this work? Something like the last time. So please fill up your bucket of popcorn and invite all your vvvvriends and vvvvamily to join us!
Want to share your work?
Please do! Anything more or less related to vvvv, yourself and your projects. Share some thoughts, share your funny fails. Or just ask some questions...

Any questions? Get in touch via meetup@vvvv.org. See you there!
We get you and your team up to speed!
What we offer
- Basic Training: Get a basic hands-on overview of programming with vvvv. This can range from one day to multiple days, depending on how far you want to take this.
- Specialized Training: You're already familiar with the basics, but are interested to dive deeper into one or more topics. You name it and we'll make it happen for you.
Either way, we'll be preparing custom lessons for you in accordance with your requirements.
Just tell us briefly:
- Who you are
- What kind of training you're interested in
And we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
More options
You can also always learn vvvv on your own:
- Watching vvvv Tutorial and HowTo videos and consulting The Gray Book
- Joining vvvv courses and events at the NODE Institute.
If you're the happy owner of one or even more vvvv gamma licenses, please read on.
(Otherwise, please join the club first)
Remember: If you update your vvvv gamma license before it runs out, we thank you for your loyalty with a 20% discount. Updating a license means keeping it active and allowing you to use all the latest releases for your commercial projects.
Just a few clicks
When logged into the vvvv store you can get an overview of all your vvvv gamma licenses by choosing the "Licenses" section. It could look something like this:
Grayed-out licenses are inactive and can no longer be updated. Active licenses can be updated anytime which will always add one year to their current end-date. You can also update multiple licenses at once to have them all on one invoice. Convenient.
Note that you can change who's paying for the license: This will mostly make sense for people who started out with an "Individual" license but start feeling more pro and now want to pay as a "Freelancer, SME,...". But there are also reports of pro's feeling lucky and turning into a big fish. You will not be judged!
Email notification
You're all busy people, so in order to help you find a good moment to update you'll receive 3 email notifications:
- 4 weeks
- 2 weeks
- 1 day
before a license end-date to remind you of the possibility to update earning the discount.
That's already it. Shouldn't take you more than two minutes to update your licenses once a year. For the benefit of not having to worry about which version you're eligible to use and the peace of mind of properly feeding your workhorse...
We'd like to give you a tour!
Depending on who you are, vvvv can be your:
- Creative coding toolkit
- .NET live-programming environment
- Show control station
- Rapid prototyping toolbox
- Physical computing hub
vvvv is equally well suited for realizing projects and using it in research and education, especially in the following fields:
- Generative Design
- Interaction Design
- Data Visualization
- Computer Vision
- Virtual- and Augmented Reality
- Machine Learning
You can start your own research about vvvv in The Gray Book or request a demo, where we jump on a screen-share call with you and answer all your questions. This should be the quickest way to figure out if vvvv could be a good fit for you and your team.
In order to be able to tailor a demo for you, please tell us:
- Who you are
- What field you're working in
And we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Our engineering team is here to help!
What we offer
- Project Consulting: Guiding you in planning the structure of your application, finding workflows and splitting workloads among your team and discussing strategies to make parts of your current project reusable in the future
- Project Support: Sharing responsibility for the success of your project by collaborating with you
- Custom Development: Adding support for a certain device, API or feature in vvvv that you need to realize a project
Just tell us briefly:
- Who you are
- What kind of support or development you're interested in
And we'll get back to you as soon as possible!

On the road again!
This time towards vvvv gamma 2021.4. Nothing much in the public previews yet, but a few things probably dropping there in the next few weeks. In particular, we've been working on the patching performance issue, TextureFX, the Buffer nodes and the Settings UI. So expect these things to show up in previews first. And if you haven't yet, please review what happened recently in VL.Stride land.
