Vibe-coded a free audio-reactive gaussian splat manipulator for Playcanvas engine. Add your splat (or use one of the built-in ones), pair it with your audio source, tweak the endless parameters and get lost in splatty psychedelia 😉

Plz let me know what you think

Bro tips:
- try out the masks
- note effect group randomize + mute/solo
- check supersplat for more downlodable splats if you don’t have your own
- note the ”pop-out” button, it allows to have the viz window and settings separately (on different screens) if needed

Hello! Long time fan of projection mapping/vjing but have yet to really dive into a project myself. But my wedding will be in June of next year and the venue has given us access to 3 ceiling mounted projectors that I would love to utilize!

Little background about myself, I have some decent understanding of photoshop and similar software, and to a slightly lesser extent After effects. I don't currently have access to either software but have a pretty good Photoshop alternative i use. Im fairly technically/Engineering inclined so those kinds of concepts aren't lost on me. Here's some relevant info I have.

Venue: It's a studio style space all the walls are effectively giant solid white screens, with the walls sloping gently into the floors (no hard angles at the floor level). The projectors are lined up to face one full wall, this wall is what we plan on having as our backdrop for the ceremony. We do not have the ability to move their locations just rotate them, although they are positioned in a way that they could be used as one giant 48:9 aspect ratio screen.

Equipment: I'm not entirely sure of the model of projectors being used currently but all at least have 1080p resolution. Anything higher isn't really needed for our purpose anyways. The contrast is decent enough for most things to be very visible even with the rest of the room lit up. My PC is a 2022 15inch Razer Blade laptop, 2040 nvdia, 16gb ram (i can provide more details if needed). The laptop has 2 USB c ports and an hdmi port.

Theme: My husband and I are pretty big fantasy/gaming nerds, so we are going to be dressed as 2 kings, (our invitations are custom made MTG proxies). We're going for a fantasy/sci-fi crossover vibe. And my idea for the artwork is to have some type of vinework and trees that make 3 separate portals, ideally the portals and trees will be "cut outs" with the background effectively being blank. I want it to look less like a giant screen and more like a music festival stage/play. The middle portal will most likely be simple portal animation on loop (think Rick and Morty or Stargate), and the two side portals will be slideshows showcasing us and our family+friends.

I plan on doing it as one giant looping video in the 48:9 aspect ratio and doing extended desktop, but if there is a better way to go about it I'm all ears! Actually any problems you forsee or ideas you wanna throw my way please do! Thanks in advanced everyone!

In this set, I wanted to create tension by combining the dark and disturbing with the attractive and sensual.

Seven original VJ loops are combined with effects, trimming, random playback and more to create an extensive Resolume deck.

I even created calm and active versions for most of the columns, making it easier to visualize the drop. Mix between columns and layers to build a flowing mix that stays on-theme.

Let me know what you think!

Motion graphic jobs for a/v companies, do they exist?

Im a skilled video/ projection artist, my work is mainly personal and experimental projects that I do in a fine art context. My work usually “wows” people , but it doesn’t pay much.

I’d like to think there’s a world where I could be hired by local a/v production companies to design motion graphics/ projection mapping for their clients. I live in a city that has lots of conventions and big corporate events, so there are quite a few of the these a/v companies.

What I want to know, do these types of jobs exist? Who does the designing usually for projected motion graphics at events?

A few things-
I’m 100% happy with boring corporate work.

I’ve tried to shop myself around for this sort of thing, where I’d be using my own equipment, or renting it. But my projectors can’t compete with the professionals. And I found my budget would be drained by the cost of rental equipment. So I want to work with an a/v company that has their own gear.

Please pardon the slop, maybe this free tool is helpful to someone else.

For adapting 2d content to a full dome show I was looking for a simple tool to move some layers around, simulate the view and create a live dome master. Blendy Dome VJ appears abandoned and i couldn’t find something similar that supports Syphon input.

Dome Sim allows you to input images, videos, syphon or (virtual and real) cameras, move them around a virtual dome and get a feel how the content may behave. It can output the full dome master via syphon or to a dedicated monitor/output.

Hey r/vjing,

Aitor (Blub VJ) and I (Subtiv) played visuals on the Boiler Room stage at Pukkelpop in Kiewit, Belgium, on 22–23 August. We are allowed to share content from four sets between us: Mirage, Lauravioli, Casper Cox and FAISAL.

Pukkelpop shared their stage recordings with us, so we cut them into a short film. It's mostly the LED ceiling and screens over the whole tent, edited to Kangding Ray's "La Route". Having the ceiling above the crowd instead of one wall behind the DJ changes how you think about content, so I developed a lot of shaders.

Setup-wise, we both ran VDMX, and almost all of the content was ISF shaders rather than pre-rendered clips. Being generative made it easy to tweak and adapt live to each set and to the shape of the ceiling, instead of being locked into fixed footage; where we did use fixed footage, we used MadMapper for different duplication/mirroring setups.

Also, as you'll see in the video, the LED screens were crap; you had to stand directly under them and look up to have a "correct" view, which made it all the more challenging.

Hey everyone! I’m a solo developer making Desktop Rave, an VJ incremental desktop companion. It reacts to any music you play on the Windows, think Bongo Cat but reacting to the beat of your music.
After nearly one year of development, I just released a free demo on Steam, would love to gain some feedback from the community :)

I love creating responsive visuals that respond very naturally to the music. What are your favorite ways of doing this?

To start, I'll list some of the most common and effective ways:

- React to input volume, changing the size or strength of an element accordingly.

- You can also react just to certain frequency bands, like bass/mid/treble. You can also split it up further, but I'm not sure how useful that is (I just stick to bass/mid/treble).

- Beat detection: introduce or change an element on beat frames. Beat detection algorithms work best if you focus on the bass frequencies / add a low pass filter first. (This is actually the simple trick behind many of my best visuals, together with feedback.)

- Old school: directly visualize the current audio stream, either in the time domain (samples) or frequency domain (FFT bands).

I also experimented with these:

- Track actual notes that are being played. Since modern music is pretty consistently recorded and performed in A=440Hz, this works surprisingly well (though I'm still working out the details).

- Automatic tempo detection. To be honest, I haven't found a reliable way to do this (except for simple four-on-the-floor beats), but also: what's the point if you can just tap the tempo?

- Track volume variance or beat density of the music, to notice changes in intensity.

Some of these last ones are not useful to create immediate responses to music, but track changes over a longer time window. They're more useful to notice changes in intensity. For this, it's also useful to note that less intense sections (breakdowns) tend to have more mid and less bass and treble than intense sections.

Anyway, that's what I have experimented with.

Anything I'm missing?

What are your favorite ways to analyze and use live music streams?

Hey all! I've been trying to share some free Halloween visuals I made but somehow reddit's filters keep removing it instantly. Anybody know whats up?

Re-rendered one of my old Projects but added more intense glitch stuff what do you think?
I used Blender in this + resolume ofc for the glitchy stuff, the propose was exploring old stuff I did and give it a bit of new direction with my taste now not back then.

I am still considering to release that as an updated version of old clips.
