Great news from the FreeFrame front!

[edwin]

Finally there seems to be a wave of creativity on the FreeFrame front. We were afraid that after the great success of FreeFrame classic (thanx Jaymis for the nomenclature), FFGL, the younger, quicker and better looking brother, didn't seem to be picked up by a lot of people.
We have been adding more and more plugins in every point release of version 3 we made in the last year, so at least people have a decent base to work with. Of course it would be nice if there were some more plugins to choose from.

In the last few weeks big steps have been taken to make it easier for developers to create plugins.
So here are the goodies, take what you like and let us know your experiences.

FFGL fugCompilerGL plugin
Alex has been busy, check out this cool plugin.

If you fancy creating your own FFGL plugin, but don't want to mess about with C compilers, then this one is for you.
fugCompilerGL allows you to create your own FFGL plugins by just writing vertex, fragment, and geometry shaders.

Wow, awesome.

All of this is great news. I had been wrestling with FFGL and Open Frameworks, and the new toolkit really helps!

[bigfug]

There's a new version of fugWrapperGL out (1.0.2) which fixes all of the currently reported issues.

Enjoy.

Best wishes,

Alex

“This app has failed to start because swscale-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling this app may fix the problem.”

I am running Win7 x64 and Resolume 3.1.3 with fugWrapperGL 1.0.4

By the way: I had to turn off the UAC (user account control) to run the batch. Right clicking and running as administrator didn’t do the job.

Anyway: THX so far. Looking forward to seeing this piece develop.

edit: just throw the files into the resolume install dir and it'll work just fine.

Great!
There's a new release of the wrapper that Im trying right now.
Cuz the early versions doesn't work with the pete plugins. In facts, just work with a couple of plugins.
But the last week I spend several hours trying to code some shades, and I enjoy it a lot. That compiler is an awesome tool.

The HTML help file explains how to install properly - I had this problem initially but I had not spotted the Help file.

I can't even see the list of effects. I've followed the directions in the helpfile & installed the update. When I run the batch file I can see that access is being denied to the .dll files. If I run the batch file as an administrator I see a "do copy" command and address. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

Can you be more specific about that?
Im not in win7, so.. maybe a windows warning about ejecution rights?

As I mentioned earlier: you have to turn of the UAC (User Account Control) before starting the batch. Maybe it works with the "elevate" command, haven't checked yet.
