Vovoid VSXu visualization (and design) software

Post by jaw »

From our site (I be lazy ass) but it's cool nontheless!

VSXu is a free tool to visually connect modules that perform rendering and mathematical tasks to build graphical effects that react to music in realtime or sequenced over time. The GUI is written from scratch entirely in OpenGL (+GLUT) which enables a highly dynamic UI. VSXu is also useful for learning OpenGL as it exposes many concepts in a very comprehendable way.

There are a few visuals already, more can be made by building them with this tool (add your own gfx in the effects etc). Have fun, or just watch the visuals!

and the setup which you can edit with vsxu's GUI (you can zoom in and out of course):

Hey,

That looks really nice. :)
My Mac would catch fire if tried to run that, but it looks really nice.

'tis especially cool 'cos it's free. was expecting it to be shareware at the very least. :)

Looks nice, and if you implement the stuff on your wish list it will be awesome.

Any plans for a Mac port?

*Very* interesting. Reminds me a little bit of the Quartz Composer that shipped with OS X Tiger. Looking forward to seeing this develop for sure. :D

Lo.

I tried to use it, but it was a hassle, as my computer kept reporting flag errors everytime i turned it on. I really did like the impressions i got from the program, and i'd really like to test the stable version wen it somes out. ALso, thanks to some dicking around with Buzz, i understand modular systems better :D
