@poof - please take one step at a time and you will then make progress fast
This is my first big project in VVVV which was made in months. I learnt so much about VVVV as I had a project to apply my thoughts to. I was learning a lot about shaders, render passes, midi, subpatching, performance issues, timeliner, spreads, …

I always say that the best way of learning is working through a real project. And I really think you’d benefit from trying a short real project to get to grips with VVVV.
I suggest the next step for you is to:
- Start a new thread titled ‘How to do X’ where X is an idea that you have for something you want to make in VVVV
- In that forum post, write down a description of what you want to make, and how you imagine you would make it based on what you know about VVVV so far.
- Keep trying, ask questions when things don’t work as you expect.
- You will get responses, sometimes example patches, sometimes links to other works where you can see how it works.
- Try adding more to the project
- See whether after this you like VVVV or not. If it’s not for you, then fine, no loss really. If you do like VVVV then great! Do the same thing again but with another idea!
Try to do things 1 step at a time rather than all at once. Please don’t post an image of an advanced project that somebody’s spent 3 months on and say ‘how do i do this easily?’, that’s obvious right? (Imagine an engineer, an architect, a photoshopper, a painter, a programmer, an athlete being asked ‘how can i copy your work easily’. Even the ones who want to help can’t if you have no skill). Come up with an idea for something and we’ll help, i’m sure.
Please don’t be:
- A troll
- A plagiarist
- An anti-social individual
- A perfect ‘devils advocate’ who gives vvvv users a chance to project their positive answers on a range of questions about VVVV’s community, approach and method.
p.s. can you come to node 13?
i think everyone would love it if you can make it http://node.vvvv.org/. And we can go for a drink. What do you say?
