Newsflash from Arkaos GrandVJ blog:
GrandVJ 1.2 now allows to use Quartz Composer .qtz files directly, both as sources and effects. In older versions it was necessary to save them as QuickTime movies with the big drawbacks that it was slow and it did not allow to change compositions variables.

This interesting concept has caught my attention: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) Spinning
Using svgweb, which allows using Firefox’s (and other browsers’) native SVG support while also providing a fallback to flash for Internet Explorer, super-cool.
Some JavaScript dives into the SVG and wraps each path element in a “spinner” callback (that repeatedly sets the elements “transform” attribute).
Check out 2 examples which make up for some interesting floating visuals.
Example 1: Cat
Example 2: Tape

Python Language for Visual Creation
There are some really interesting applications and example code are out there for any Visualists who are looking to dive into Python language. Today, I’ve put together a little list of such applications, I hope that you will find it useful. Feel free to add more links and resources in the comments if you come across any others.
PyCessing
http://www.pycessing.org/index.php
PyCessing is a free software system that lets you create interactive audio-visual applications by programming them in Python. As the name implies, it is very much inspired by Processing. The current system provides easy routines for vector drawing/animation, image processing, audio playback, typography and live input from mouse, keyboard and joystick. Py-cessing runs on Linux, OSX, and MS-Windows.
PyMT

Free Tools for VJs??
Art of VJing is multi-faceted technological and artistic field. Most of us spend considerable time producing and developing content and establishing techniques for media manipulation. If you anything like me, then chances are that you’ll find yourself wondering about extending your favourite software as you grow through using it on a regular basis. Year after year you master some of the techniques, and yet you see great deal of limitations that are in front of you due to the closed development process of the software itself which in most cases you cannot interfere.
Let me modify!
If you have followed some of my recent posts on the subject of Pure Data VJ software, then you find that Pure Data has opened up numerous possibilities of developing your own software while utilising numerous Plug-ins, Libraries and Patches that worldwide community has released to date. These are very exciting times to be working in this field as knowledge and programs are at very healthy state. One of such AMAZING tools that I have only recently came about is : Qeve. It really encompasses large majority of your “wish lists” while maintaining its flexibility and cost. Free.
Without further a due, please explore this unique and promising piece of Pure Data software for Vjing: Queve!
“In art production the tool you use determine result of your work in many ways. Only by using free software you will not reproduce closed mind”
- Luca Carrubba aka Husk
Queve is a free tool for live performance and vjing developed by Estereotips collective with economic support by Catalan independent video maker association Telenoika and Center of visual arts productions Hangar from Barcelona. This software try to obtain the same usability of similar commercial applications (resolume, modul8, vdmx) while adding some unique features. Continue reading »
