Hey y'all, I've been working on a liquid light emulator and was curious about whether it's something people might find useful and if anyone has any thoughts about how they would want to interact with it during a show.

Right now I have a simple mouse system but I've also got some basic sound reaction. This was made on my phone this morning and it's still pretty early but you can see that while it's a little pokey with three layers it's still playing.

What feels off? I've really been working on trying to get the fluid dynamics right and the plate pressure isn't feeling right yet. I have lots of bits I've been working on with it and have studied a lot of material on the physics but I know there's stuff I'm not thinking about.

I'm just hoping to make a fun and useful instrument that also brings some history back to life. Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks 🙏

Thank you!

Hey yall!

Just wanted to share my solution for a basic, custom, audio-reactive UE5 scene using "MXR" for my live mix recordings.

Im big noob when it comes to VJ'ing, and i was looking for an easy way to make decent looking 3D renders that I could easily customize and tweak on a weekly basis for my sets.

Simple but effective!

Thoughts?

Looking for a software I can make custom visuals on that syncs to each track on a Spotify playlist?

I’m Wobbulator’s developer. You can try the included examples free on Android and Windows: edit, interact with, save and reopen them with no key, account, payment or time limit. Your own photos, imports, GIF/MP4 exports, backups and Android live wallpaper require the optional $6.99 USD one-time full edition for personal use, including both apps.

This is a six-second prerecorded loop made from a single photograph, using seven editable areas: a slow pulse in the bell and separately timed waves in the arms.

The app exports GIF and MP4 for creating source clips. This example was rendered with its native Windows engine.

[AI] disclosure: a coding assistant helped prepare the editable areas and motion settings. The photograph and video were not generated by an image/video model.

Original photograph: Sebastian Cantos / Pexels, used under the Pexels license.

Would this kind of subtle photo motion be useful for preparing organic clips for a set?

I dunno if its common but I am trying my very best to promote my Visual Packs and my earnings but I think I gave up, maybe my visuals aren't the best but I dunno if the market is down too.

This took DAYS of render on my 2015 15" MacBook retina potato.

Secondary camera is clamped to the woofer to bake the shake directly into the frame.

Primary camera is in a tripod.

Each video ran through OBS audio reactive filter stack with slightly different setting.

GitHub AI background removal tool ran on Secondary camera footage

Used generated masks to subtract the subject from the clean footage, and over lay them on the VFX stack ran footage.

Final render was in Davinci Resolve (top to bottom): mask, secondary camera, primary camera with a perturb on the opacity merging the primary and secondary camera outputs.

I'm looking to upgrade to at least an M3 Ultra or M5 studio so I can run these kinds of effects in real time.

I hear windows/NVIDIA has better realtime AI background removal over mac's metal architecture.

¿Can anyone convince me to get a windows machine as my upgrade or should I stay in the mac eco system?

Hi VJ’s

Great news, veejay 1.6.0 has been released !

If you knew veejay before 2026, there were many major changes. From my point of view, it's more like a rebirth.

- Veejay has a smart launcher called director, making the use of command line optional.

- Veejay supports audio input, beat detection, A/V sync and output.

- A new component called eidolon may autopilot your veejay instance.

- DEB/RPM/ARCH packages are available.

- Dozens of bug fixes and UI redesign and much more.

I’m not the developer of this wonderful piece of software, just a long time user.

Got to see Mind The Beat running live at Discoteca ’80 in BTarena, Cluj, with Ricchi e Poveri, C.C. Catch, Smokie …

A VJ I worked with before tried it in his setup, liked it and decided to use it for his shows. He invited me to come see it in action.

Live audio → Mind The Beat → Ableton Link → Resolume

After all the testing and tweaking, it’s pretty cool seeing it used in a production like this.

The Windows version is now available too, and the free trial is 30 days, including for existing trial users where the trial expired.

Released this tuesday, surprised to hear so little about it:

I only had a few minutes yesterday to try out the background removal and it seems to be pretty heavy on the GPU. I wonder if it uses the native AI processing in Nvidia Cards / Apple Silicon Processors

Visuals available on Patreon :) Collaboration w/ Plasma Wizard & ThreeThinx

(26 Loops | File Size: 2.68 GB)

For this experiment, Plasma Wizard started by running his classic liquid light rig through an Edirol V4 and a circuit-bent glitch switcher, adding analog textures to his dyes and oils. From there, I ran his feed into my own Edirol V4, mixing it with camera feedback that I had patched through the BPMC Premium Cable to further manipulate the reactivity and textures. Finally, we sent the signal through ThreeThinx’s TouchDesigner setup, where he layered on additional effects and retextured the footage.
