To really get deep into VVVV and the addon FUSE I decided to do every day of Genuary.

It was quite the journey with all kinds of ups and downs, but we learned a LOT and have mastered many aspects of this fantastic realtime interactive software platform.

Join the fun and see how things developed over the month in this gallery!

Genuary 2024 Day 1: "Particles, lots of them!":

So we took a million... :-)

Genuary 2024 Day 2: "No Palettes":

Love this one!

Genuary 2024 Day 3: "DrosteEffect":

Nothing worked out this day so the end result was a bit odd ;-)

I interpreted the prompt a bit freely  - and turn up the sound :-)

Very reduced piece...

Genuary 2024 Day 6: "Screensaver":

Now that was fun :-)

A homerun for VVVV and FUSE, with it's brilliant SDF implementation...

Genuary 2024 Day 13: "Wobbly function day":

And wobble it sure does... ;-)

Genuary 2024 Day 14: "Less than 1KB artwork":

Create your own images here: https://screendream.de/stuff/Genuary/Genuary14.html

F5 for a new one - takes a moment to compute.

And that I did!

Genuary 2024 Day 16: "Draw 10 000 of something":

Genuary 2024 Day 24: "Impossible objects (undecided geometry)":

Psychedelic, isn't it?

Genuary 2024 Day 25: "I should try to recreate this with code":

Raindrops are HARD in a realtime engine without refraction...

This was my reference photo I shot years ago:

Nature wins ;-)

Genuary 2024 Day 26: "Grow a seed":

Sound on for this one, otherwise it makes no sense...

Genuary 2024 Day 27: "Code for one hour. At the one hour mark, you’re done":

Bonus Day! :-)

And as a bonus, two more videos of cool looking tests during Genuary:

Paintstrokes with a dynamically created mesh:

Fire with the fluid solver in FUSE! :-)

So this concludes a crazy month.

Thanks for all the help from the VVVV and FUSE community!

We now feel confident to work with this software on real-world projects and look forward to collaborate with artists and customers in this enchanting realm! :-)

Thanks for watching!
