I made something one or the other here could like:
https://vimeo.com/73735397

Max is the core of this project. It's an improvisation and all realtime, with some minor postprocessing.
The visuals are not Jitter though.

I don't know if you like it but why no also share something you made here?
I think there is a bit little artistic exchange here on the forums, maybe a subforum would make sense? So the people (like me) wouldn't hesitate to post something here where technical things are surely the focus and should stay the focus, I think. Sure, aesthetic ideas or works come up often and are the ultimate reason for nearly all the content of the forums here, but they are very seldomly presented just as they are.. rather as a by-product of a technical presentation/question.

Great stuff! Both of you. Keep up the good work.

Also I would like to second the idea of having a forum to present and discuss the aesthetics of projects.

Nice ones. Woyteg, what did you use for the visuals ?

meeble's icon

Yes, Woyteg, do tell us what you used for the visuals.

Vimeo mentions:
generative Audio visual Improvisation.
Audio: Max/Msp, Nord Modular, analog stuff..
Video: Touchdesigner 077

Well done indeed!

sorry, I didn't want to sound mysterious about the visuals..
I just have a bad concience about having said that I prefer TD much over Jitter several times on this forum :)

I have always been impressed with Touchdesigner. Is it possible to create that kind of quality output with Jitter?

woyteg's icon

Hm, I don't want to say something obvious, but yes sure you can.
It's just more work I think. And you should really know how to deal with custom shaders and GPU accelerated workflow overall. TD cares for many things itself.
When i changed from jitter it was much more behind TD than it is now I think.. I just havent looked at it for any serious 3d or compositing stuff for a long time. Rather use it for matrix processing / tracking and all that stuff. btw. vvvv can also do nice things(not made by me):

So don't take my critizism too seriously.

Anthony Palomba's icon

Wow vvvv is pretty impressive! Too bad it is windows only.

meeble's icon

thanks for the update!

Anthony Palomba's icon

Here is a question, what does vvvv have that Jitter does not?

woyteg's icon

boygrouping! Spreads! these are pretty great. uhm.. It's spetialised on visual stuff, so I guess there might be a lot.
Free, for non-commercial use. Opensource. Linux implementation plans and prototypes. integrated C++(or was it java, migt it be for HLSL?) super slick editor.
I don't know.
But if you search you will find threads on this(?) or other forums comparing those environments.

@ raja, I can remember parts of that vid, I was very impressed when I fiirst saw it.
But I was impressed each time I tried to find out what you are messing around with(especially the monome impros), keep up the good work!
I'm a bit tired right now and don't want to stretch this point to much, but earnest participation, or earnesty in arts is a big point for me.. there is so much cynicism in arts these days.

about the vvvv td jitter thing: anybody managed to cast shadows already in jitter?

still waiting for that vvvv group purchase of c74.

Anthony Palomba's icon

Nice work Raja! One thing I do like about vvvv is that it has more higher level abstraction for doing generative geometry. Maybe C74 can add something in the future that will make this easier.

With cynicism I wasn't meaning humor actuallly. Humor is great. I feel like I have problems here because english is not my native language but I'll try.
There is a sort of avantgarde cynicism, a not at all humorous way of trying to say at least as possible.
I hope I don't offend anybody with this, and maybe I am wrong, that's just my impression.

woyteg's icon

I just wanted to say this clearly once more, I didn't mean humor in arts (or whereever) at all. I like humor(also in arts). It's the contrary I wanted to say.
