Ohwheee,

were to start.. So we had another meetup this month and if you haven’t already, you may want to rewatch it here.

The VST3 support as briefly demoed at the meetup has already made huge progress. Hoping we’ll be able to show something by the end of this month…

Kicked off through a priority support inquiry by Emanuele Foti, we added support for RPLidar devices by Slamtec.

Some more things are hopefully finally seeing the light of the day within November. Stay tuned…

Learning vvvv

Here is your current best opportunity for getting started with vvvv via courses run by The NODE Institute:

• 6 session beginner course part 1 “Playground” starts November 4th
• 6 session beginner course part 2 “Deep Dive” starts January 13th

Contributions

Coincidentally this last few weeks we got to merge an unprecedented number of 6 pull-requests to our VL.StandardLibs. In case you’re not familiar with what this means: These are community contributions to vvvv’s core library that will benefit all of us. Here is what we got:

• Title input for the Skia Renderer by woeishi
• TextureSliceView node and improved texture tooltips by tebjan
• MeshOutline and Wireframe as Components for Entities by kopffarben ➡️ Demo at meetup
• TextureFX deal with block compressed dds textures by bj-rn
