Virtual Ballpit effect released....

[kefex]

I released this quietly in the developer's area a few mos ago, but now I'm semi-officially releasing it to all.

You can see the effect and download it here:

I was waiting for a year to elapse from when I provided it to the band the Killers (they use it in their stage show), and that's about now.

"Releasing it" in this context means providing a binary for download which some people have used successfully in VJ apps supporting FF 1.0. Unfortunately I don't have time for supporting it in any meaningful way. Ya gets whatcha gets.

If you dig on this, you might like my other stuff, which you can see here:

The full source code has been released, but it's probably painful to build, since it has a bunch of external dependencies and is very lightly documented. If time permits (which it probably doesn't), I'll be releasing more binaries in the future.

That's all for now, except to say that if you use it successfully, I'd love to hear from you!

Cheers,

My pleasure! Happy to finally be able to share it.

In general, it works best when there is a lot of contrast with the background, though if you tweak the sensitivity, you can usually get it to do what you want.

The effect is for FreeFrame 1.0, which works very differently from 1.5. It's been a while since I looked at this stuff, but my impression at the time was that VJ apps support one or the other, and not both. Just about anyone else reading this forum can probably give you better info on what apps support FF 1.0 than I could.

Thanks for the kind remarks, and good luck!
