Patcher People!
It's been a while since the b38.1 release. But finally we're getting ready to release an update to vvvv beta. Here is the release-candidate, meaning it has all we wanted to add for beta39. We only want to give you a chance to test this with your current projects so we have a last chance to squash any new bugs, you may encounter.
Here are the highlights of the upcoming release:
General
- We get rid of the term 'alpha' and replace it with the term 'beta-preview' to be in line with gamma and gamma-preview
- Finally we ship an installer! Just a few clicks and you should have vvvv beta running.
- Optionally installs the addonpack for you.
- Still we left good old setup.exe there but renamed it to config.exe, since you don't necessarily need to run it anymore to set things up
- We're also planning to offer an offline-installer, but only for the actual release (not every preview)
- We're also keeping the .zip downloads
- For convenience, by default new patches now save to %User%\Documents\vvvv\beta(-preview)\Sketches. Like this you can quickly find your recently created patches via a new main menu entry: Recent Patches
- We've added two shortcuts to the main menu:
- Show Installed Packs: opens explorer pointing to the \packs directory
- Download Contributions: opens a browser pointing to the contributions page
- vvvv beta now supports RCP out of the box, which allows you to expose IOBoxes to control them remotely. See the helppatch of Rabbit (RCP) for details.
New nodes
- WebSocket (Network Client)
- PBR (DX11.Effects), PBRInstanced (DX11.Effects)
- PBRTextured (DX11.Effects), PBRTexturedInstanced (DX11.Effects)
- MaterialPropertiesPBR (DX11.TextureFX)
- Lights (DX11.Layer PBR)
New in vl
If you're also using vl already, good for you, because here you'll find even more goodies you will benefit from:
- Shiny Tooltips
- IOBoxes 2.0
- Regular Expression nodes
- Pingroups
- If you're looking for the Manage Nugets menu entry under Dependencies: this has been moved to the Quad menu
- and quite some more as we've listed in the gamma preview changelog
Besides those, it is important to understand that with vl you also have access to numerous more libraries that have been released recently. A lot of new packs these days come as nugets. For an overview, see vl packs on nuget.org and you can use them all in vvvv beta, via vl...
Changelog for Candidates:
RC5
- Regions now show timings again
- Node tooltips now show timings for the current instance
- Image download from GPU will again happen in AsImage node to avoid breaking changes and potential crashes in existing patches
- installer adds vvvv folder and process to Windows Defender exceptions
RC4
- changed AppData location for nugets to \beta(-preview)_{architecture}\nugets
- removed AppData location for packs again (to be reconsidered after b39)
- in vl outboxes are working again
- installer checks and installs DX9 and VC++ Redistributables correctly
RC3
- Ctrl+P now creates new patch pointing to active patchs directory
- fixes problem with AsImage (DX11)
- fixes problem with saving a new patch to \Sketches
RC2
- adds options to register .v4p and .vl from the installer
- fixes an issue with the installer popping up config.exe unnecessarily

Where NODE Institute, Wipperstrasse 13, 12055 Berlin, Germany
Here we go again!
As every 4th tuesday of the month we'll meet again coming tuesday at the cozy NODE Institute in Rixdorf, Neukölln.
This time we'll have a live-connection to the other side of the globe from where fellow patcher Takuma Nakata will tell us about his latest work. He writes:
Additional: I'm personally not a coder, really bad with math, but still I can add interactivity to design by using vvvv, which is great since it's visually understandable.
I am an Adobe Creative Residency, as an Experiential Designer. I'll talk what it's about, and try not go too deep with vvvv.
We'd also love to hear from you: If you have something to show or talk about, please do so! Bring your projects, demos, works-in-progress and show us what you're patching with!
And you can expect a little live-demo of RCP that will be shipping with upcoming beta39...

Once again many thanks to everyone who makes NODE possible and those who are working behind the scenes throughout the years to keep the spirit alivvvve and push for the next edition of the festival.
Just in time!
Only a whopping 6 years and one and an half months after its first mention during Keynode 13 and to the day exactly 5 years after the release of the The Humble Quad Bundle, you can finally hold it in your own hands. Not exactly as the full release we had planned but as a preview:
To our own surpise we couldn't finish all the things we had planned to release today. Most notably the "windows executable export" didn't make it. We know this is a bummer, but we want to get this right and it just needs some more time.
Apart from that we figured there is no more need at this point, to keep it to ourselves. It is definitely good enough for a preview, definitely good enough to gather some feedback to incorporate into the final 1.0 release for which we take some more time to finish our plans. So let's have a look at what we got:
What's new compared to the vvvv beta series
LanguageBesides staying true to its nature of being a an easy to use and quick prototyping environment, vvvv is also a proper programming language with modern features, combining concepts of dataflow and object oriented programming:
|
Node LibraryWhile for now the number of libraries we ship is limited, the fact that you can essentially use any .NET libary directly mitigates this problem at least a bit. Besides there is already quite some user contributions available in the wip forum and here is what we ship:
|
Forum
To accommodate for the fact that from now on we essentially have 2 products, we added two main categories to the forum:
The existing question, feature, bug, general sections were moved into vvvv beta, and the vvvv gamma section got its own question, feature, bug and general sub-sections. Note that by default the search is constrained to the category you're currently viewing. When you're using vl in beta, still feel free to ask questions in the beta forum. We'll handle that.
Tutorials
Head over to this forum section to watch some video tutorials:https://discourse.vvvv.org/c/tutorials
Pricing
We've previously announced the upcoming pricing model for vvvv gamma, which we're currently refining and we'll update you on changes to it soon.
Until further notice, the previews of vvvv gamma are free of charge but due to its preview-nature we don't recommend using it in commercial scenarios yet.

For immediate release:
Berlin, October 4, 2019 - vvvv is humbled to announce a close collaboration with the unparalleled c# open-source 3d engine Xenko.
As a small developer studio with a focus on disrupting the world of visualprogramming, it became apparent to us that we cannot at the same time join the battle of 3d engines. Still, a strong 3d engine needs to be at the core of vvvv so it can serve in the main usecases we know for vvvv today. Therefore we've been on the lookout for an existing engine that we can adapt to the needs of vvvvs users.
Enter Xenko: In August 2018, the Japanese developer of game engines and 3d middleware Silicon Studio, decided to opensource the 3d-engine Xenko, they'd been working on for ~10 years. The elegance of the existing codebase and the fact that it is completely .NET based, allowed us to quickly assess that it will be possible for us to integrate it as a library for VL and gain from those 10 years of professional development.
Forward to today: Xenko's main developer Virgile Bello (Xen2), who took on the challenge to run Xenko as an opensource project has moved to Berlin. He now has a seat in our office and we're happy to support Xenko in all ways we can. For vvvv it is in the greatest interest to see Xenko develop as a strong, independent game engine. Because every improvement that goes into Xenko, will soon be enjoyable for every user of vvvv gamma.
And you can support Xenko too: Join their community and/or patreon, read their blogpost of the same announcement and generally spread the word about them. Everything counts!
Previously on vvvv: vvvvhat happened in August 2019
September,
didn't make it. But it looks quite good for October: We've shown it at recent meetups in Hamburg and Berlin. Ready your patches, because it is here, it is gorgeous and it takes only one click. Executable support is ready and you will be able to test it on your own rather sooner than later. Call it a game-changer or just another thing you didn't ask for. Either way, no need to pray, it is going to stay. Watch this space.
But first! We decided with vl being in quite good shape now, we're going for a beta39 release. It will come with one of the longer awaited features: an installer that takes just a few clicks to get vvvv beta up and running, including the addonpack! Expect a release candidate on one of the earlier days of this already new month.
Our first round of short and long vvvvorkshops on gamma went smooth. So smooth in fact, that we're going to continue with them. We already have the dates for the upcoming free introductions announced and we'll soon add six dates for full-day workshops before end of the year:
Upcoming dates
- October 10-13: vvvv workshop in Timișoara, Romania
- October 18, 19 and 23: still to be announced full-day workshops in Berlin
- October 22: Free vvvv gamma intro workshops followed by vvvv meetup #14
And one more: Teaching Patching - a mini conference: Please forward this to anyone who could be interested in helping us improve education of and with vvvv. If you have experience, we'd like to here from you! Come join us for 2 days of cozy talks and help us position vvvv for the years to come!

Helo evvvveryone,
(and your friends who don't use vvvv yet)
Here's to announce that we're continuing our free introductory workshops, to give you a taste of what it feels like to work with the all new vvvv.
What the vvvv?
vvvv is a visual programming environment that allows you to realize ideas quickly without the need to write any code. But if you want, you can also write C# code for it and use any .NET library with it!
To give you an idea of the areas vvvv can be helpful in, here is a list of buzz words vvvv is often associated with:

|
|
What happens in the workshop
In these 2 hour courses we'll be using vvvv (version gamma) to:
- give you an overview of vvvv's possibilities
- guide you step-by-step through creating your first little programs
- mention things like Kinect, Midi, OSC, TUIO, UDP, Rs232, Leap, Vive, Rift, DMX, Art-Net, Arduino, Lasers, Motors,...
- leave you with an idea of what next steps you can take to divvvve deeper
Who is this for?
- the curious, who are interested in adding a new tool to their toolbox
- the lazy ones who want to get their things done more efficiently
- the ones afraid of coding, who want to try visual programming instead
- those familliar with vvvv beta who want to move to vvvv gamma

Our workshop is titled: Afraid of coding? Try visual programming with vvvv!
In this workshop, we'll be introducing you to the visual programming environment vvvv gamma. If you've always wanted to create interactive games, installations or presentations but the coding it involves just doesn't feel right for you, then give vvvv a chance.
Instead of writing code, vvvv is using a more visual paradigm that doesn't involve lines of abstract text and therefore may be more appealing to you. But make no mistake, this is still serious programming. In the end, you can achieve the same results as with traditional programming.
After introducing you to the very basics of drawing and animating 2d primitives, we'll be talking about your ideas to find out what you're most interested in creating. From there we'll be showing you what you need to achieve your goals!
