VJ & Projection Mapping Workshop on March 18, SAE Amsterdam
It's that time of year again! Resolume and SAE Institute Amsterdam are offering a free VJ workshop, this time on the art and science of projection mapping!
If you haven't heard of this phenomenon before, it's a relatively new form of visual art. Instead of projecting on a flat rectangular screen, you project your images on a specific surface, ranging from custom made objects, to whole life size buildings. For some cool videos of mapping in action check out these clips:

Augmented Sculpture
For the workshop we'll be showing you the different tools and techniques used in projection mapping. For software we'll be focussing on the latest version of Resolume Avenue, which has some powerful features built-in, for easily mapping a surface.
We often hear the term workshop being thrown around, when it's actually just a lecture, but this one is actually all about doing things. We have plenty of beamers and computers (but feel free to bring your own), and after a short introduction, it's going to be all you, baby! Making objects or mapping out surfaces, it's going to be you at the controls.
So sign up now by sending an email to vjcourse@sae.nl! It's free, so what have you got to lose?

New FreeFrameGL Effects: Cosmic Pack by IRworkshop
Ivan Ryaboff from IRworkshop has been busy programming a set of 3D FreeFrameGL effects. The pack is now done and released for Mac OS and Windows. IR Cosmic Pack consists of 6 3D effects that revolve around the theme of replicating video in 3D space. The plugins are free to try, 29.90 Euro to buy. A bargain. Highly recommended, if this fits your style. Have a look on the IRworkshop website for all the details.
BTW, Ivan is not only a great programmer and VJ, but a photographer too. Take a gander at his work on Flickr, it's amazing.
We're very happy to see more developers writing FFGL effects. We're working on a FreeFrame wrapper for openFrameworks which will make it even easier to compile plugins and leverage the power of OF
and it's addons. We hope this will encourage even more FreeFrame development in this amazing community of creative programmers. It will be open sourced as soon as it's done and tested.

Resolume awarded 'Best VJ Software' in The Technofile Awards
Hurray! Resolume Avenue 3 has been awarded 'Best VJ Software' in The Technofile Awards 2010!
This is what the judges had to say about Resolume:
Resolume 2 must rank as the most popular and widely used piece of VJing software on the planet, but as its creators, Bart and Edwin, are the first to admit, it has its limitations. That’s why they’ve rebuilt it (they have the technology) from scratch, using a completely different programming language and taken it cross platform (yup, it now runs on Macs too!). The result is an almost completely new program that’s exponentially more powerful, yet just as simple to master. Offering GPU accelerated support for multiple layers of HD in real time, full AV control and support for VST plug ins, Resolume Avenue 3 is a quantum leap that will have VJs and AVJs everywhere salivating (and yes, I hereby claim copyright on the term ‘AVJ’!)
Other winners in the VJ category are the Pioneer DVJ-1000, Pioneer SVM-1000 Mixer. Checkout the whole article on thetechnofile.com 3 comments »
