Super exciting new visuals are coming tomorrow! In 4k!
Some free samples are already included with AI VJ. You can view them by choosing 'Restore Default Banks' from the main menu!
We'll be releasing Dali-esque Visuals, the first 4k DLC tomorrow!
These will also work fine on screens and projectors that aren't 4k yet
For this update we have a feature requests fulfilled, and several more things added:
- You can now connect AI VJ to other software through Spout:
- So if you wish to steam with AI VJ in the backgrount, you can!
- Or if you'd like to do post-processing in Resolume, and apply effects, you can!
Moreover Spout is super efficient, and the industry standard way to do this! (Thanks deverostv for the request!).
In the future we plan to add various music synced effects and shaders. AI VJ is being developed in Unity after all! But while other updates are happening, and in general, Spout is a nice way to add spice to the visuals, for those who own Resolume or other VJ software!
- We've added a tutorial setting out how to use Spout, as well as for using your own VJ videos / loops and images in AI VJ, and other things, such as working with a projector or external display
- Besides all this, there is now also an 'open folder' option for every DLC in the menu, in case you'd want to import the videos into other VJ software directly. Though be aware of the license conditions
- To support Spout we had to switch to Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline. This means AI VJ is now optimized for high quality output, using the latest GPU features!
Especially handy for said effects, shaders, and future 3D animations that we are planning, eventhough these are still mid to low on the roadmap. It did require a fair number of color, and other backend changes. Though these were eventually needed anyway!
Next up on the roadmap is an expansion of the UI, to allow multiple tabbed decks with banks, and then visuals. So it will be easier to organize visuals, and add Steam Workshop support in the future.
If you encounter any issues caused by the switch to the new Unity Render Pipeline, or Spout, please let us know here or through discord.
Smaller fixes not announced widely before are:
- A bug in the keyboard bank selection was fixed
- Small text fixes
