Here’s a youtube video that rendered out in real time and its executable file size is tiny in comparison to the capture video size. The pro’s of GLSL is in the performance possibilities. VDMX, for instance, has their brand of shader called and ISF. Whether you know it or not, a good number of VJ and projection mapping applications have been making use of GLSL shaders for years. And as time goes on, it will only get better.

This style of VJing offers some big live performance pros and cons. Change a few lines of code and tweak them as you go.

Skip the 4-hour blender or After effects rendering queue and process visuals in real time. Simply put, GLSL is a shader language that runs directly on the GPU. While there is little documentation on Kodelife, it is very intuitive if you understand the world of GLSL and live creative coding. We were using a Windows 10 Laptop running Madmapper and Kodelife. Now I’ll go into the details.Īs Char writes on her blog: ( ). GLSL, Live coding VJing, Mac & PC, projection mapping, VDMX, Mad Mapper, Kodelife, Lumen App, Spout, Syphon, UVC HDMI Capture, four channel HDMI mixers, and fun!

Here are some short video clips from Altared I co-VJ’ed with the awesome Char Stiles. There’s a video from the show below and if you’re interested in the process of sharing live VJing content across computers and operating systems read the entire post. It wasn’t my first time using a multiple projector/computer setup, but adding a PC and Live coding VJ into the mix needed a new workflow. I thought it would be a good idea to document the process used for Cosmic Sound’s Altared event w/ Bary Center, J Butler, To Sleep At Night, Dilettante.
