![]() Create a “ Control Surface” of user interface items or a “ Cue List” in VDMX that can remotely control parameters of a running Processing sketch.Use layers, render sub-groups or the main output of VDMX as image inputs for Processing sketches.Use VDMX to mix together multiple Processing sketches.Use Processing sketches as a Syphon sources for layers in VDMX.Syphon and OSC makes it possible do things such as: Thanks to Syphon and OSC, artists have the ability to use the best of both worlds when it comes to working with video and data. Like with all toolsets, there are times when a task can be more quickly accomplished by writing some code and others where a graphical interface like VDMX is better suited. ![]() Though Processing doesn't provide an SDK for other developers to use their “sketches” as documents that can be rendered in other host applications (like Quartz Composer or Vuo), it is possible to easily connect your creations to other video software such as VDMX by using the Syphon (for video) and OSC (for data, such as numbers, colors and strings) protocols. You can look online to find hundreds of examples and they provide wonderful educational materials to help you get started with learning how to write code to make art. One of the most popular creative coding languages being used today is known as Processing, a free, open-source development environment with an extensive community of amazing artists and technologists around the world. ![]() While VDMX offers many ways to extend its capabilities with code by Quartz Composer, Vuo and writing your own custom interactive GLSL shaders, there are times when you may need to use a video generator, image processor, or data controller that for whatever reason requires using a lower level programming toolkit for some aspect of your live performance or installation.
