Patcher People!
Once again later than we hoped for, but here it is: vvvv beta 39 in all its glory! Many thanks go to everyone who reported issues with the release-candidates! Here are the highlights:
What's new in vvvv beta 39
General
- Finally we ship an installer! Just a few clicks and you should have vvvv beta running. Note how this also optionally installs the addonpack
- NOTE: By default it installs to C:\vvvv, because it won't work in C:\Program Files...
- The default patch-window size is increased
- By default new patches now save to %User%\Documents\vvvv\beta\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
Features
- Control IOBoxes from any webbrowser (desktop of mobile) using RCP. See the helppatch of Rabbit (RCP) for details.
- Easy to use WebSocket (Network Client) node
- New fancy shader nodes: PBR (DX11.Effects), PBRInstanced (DX11.Effects), PBRTextured (DX11.Effects), PBRTexturedInstanced (DX11.Effects)
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:
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...
Learn VL
This is a good moment to get started with VL. Note that everything you learn and do with VL can later be applied to the upcoming vvvv gamma since VL is what both vvvv beta and gamma share. If you haven't already, check out these Tutorials and HowTos!
Have a good patch,
Yours, vvvv
