Generative Design
Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 4:44 pm
Before I started to work with Coolux I used different other video tools like Max/Msp/Jitter, vvvv and Processing. I started to use Pandoras Box because it's time saving and easier for workflows like mapping, edge blending, live video, HD video playback, multichannel audio routing, etc... It's much more powerful for playback and it's much more stable and it offers nearly endless possibilities. With the effects and Widget Designer a lot of interactive and some generative stuff is possible. But I'm missing a bit the possibility of generative video design because in my projects (theatre, media art) I'm the content designer as well and I like experimenting "on stage" or within a build up setting. So my question would be if and how it could be possible to implement more features for generative video design? Or would it in general be possible to implement e.g. a feature that allows to drop a Processing patch on the timeline and get a patching tab where the code can be modified? Or something similar/ something else? I know that it is something special and of course nothing for the next revision but I'm interested in how Coolux thinks about generative features or if there is a certain demand generative possibilities?
