I made a tutorial on how to make a paint effect which might not be exactly what you're after but will give you ideas on how to make it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPbQq3oXyU8&list=PLDXATF_9oiSSouPv9b9HegBUYEyN6LnX3&index=20 I will make a new tutorial with a cartoon/comic effect at some ...

I completely agree that there's a need for better documentation besides the examples. As it has been mentioned, only being able to open one Wire patch at a time really affects the usability of the examples and the overall Wire workflow.

Thanks a lot for your reply and patch!
Much appreciated.

But does mine work fine on your machine?

Windows 10
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz

RTX 2060

Here's as basic as I've gone.
This patch is a circle responding to one band of fft.
If Wire is also open, it runs at 10fps in Resolume, below 30 fps if Wire is not open.

Thanks for your reply. Regarding the steep learning curve, there's a lack of documentation in every sense which doesn't help. I used to use Quartz Composer and I never found myself in this situation. The spectrum node appears to be an instant source of instability but there's very little info on it ...

It's 2 years later and this hasn't been resolved yet!
It's a massive problem and I've only realised this was the case after buying Wire.

So I've recreated in Wire a patch that I had made originally 100% inside Resolume and which had sound reactivity. The 100% Resolume version runs at 60fps no sweat. The Wire version is unstable as hell and runs at 4fps. Please tell me that I'm doing something wrong. I'm pulling my hair out and starti...

I have to say I'm getting quite frustrated with this. If I have both Arena and Wire open at the same time my system becomes unresponsive. Is the only way to edit sound reactive patches to keep opening and closing Wire to preview what you're doing in Resolume? I just had Resolume crash as I saved a W...
