Hey, that’s a nice idea! However, the time conflicts with the webinars we currently make. It should probably be happening on a day when there is no webinar…

Hi, a little reminder :) Starting tonight at 20:30, get your problematic patches ready!

domj · April 15, 2020, 10:17pm

Meeting again this evening at 17:30 CET, this time we’ll focus a bit more on light control and the newly released vvvv gamma built Schéma, looking forward!

New excerpts available, expect more to come over the course of the week.

This one deals with creating Data Types in vvvv gamma and the difference between mutable and immutable.

And this one with the two key parts of a VL document - Application and Definitions

domj · May 27, 2020, 8:19am

Thanks, you’re very much welcome!
And a huge thanks to the participants that keep bringing up these questions and topics.

Hope to see you later today 😊

Did you know it’s possible to create dynamic pins in vvvv gamma?

Do you know or are curious about something else? Come join us today 😊

I’d like to discuss two topics tomorrow:

1️⃣ 🛠 Firstly, since a number of interesting timeline/sequence programs have popped up in the shoutbox lately, I’d like to take a review of these tools in general.

What are you using in your practice or found interesting lately? Are you using any HW based sequencers? Which concepts from the tools do you find most interesting? Is there something you’d like to achieve and just can’t figure it out?

I suggest we take a look at Ossia, Chataigne but also more esoteric stuff like IanniX, ORCA.
And I encourage you to share your experiences using other tools, be that Tilda, Kairos, Blender, TouchDesigner, Notch, Vezér or others.

2️⃣ 🤓 Secondly, on a geekier level I’d like to bring some attention to the VL Language design github repo. This is where the devvvvs recently started to share language design discussions.

Let’s take a look at the proposals and what we think of them.
We can also use this opportunity to reflect if there aren’t some extra ideas in the back of our heads that should be there.

And as always, feel free to bring your own topics and issues.

Hope to see you on Wednesday 24.6. at 17:30!

Hi, another Midweek Patch Therapy session coming up today:

We’ll be continuing with the Sequencers/Timelines topic.
We should have catweasel and maybe lasal talking a bit about their sequencing tools for which I’m quite excited.
And there’s certainly a lot more to discuss in this area still.

We also plan to touch on the VL Language proposals available on github.

And as always, if you have something you’re currently working on and could use some pointers, bring that as well. Ideally in the beginning of the session.

Hope to see you at 17:30!

Given that the current Editing Framework is extremely outdated and inflexible, we want to put together resources and ideas that will inform a new one. One made with modularity and the current VL language and ecosystem in mind.

So we’re asking everyone to collect their favorites from this space - examples from software that gets editing right (vertices, bezier, camera, etc. gizmos, shortcuts, etc.) and think of what kind of use cases do they have for an editing framework.

So what’s your favorite editing UIs?

Feel free to offload them onto this Pinterest board:

(editing access will be granted on request)

We will use these to kickstart our discussion on the new VL Editing Framework this Wednesday.

Looking forward!
