LX Studio: Tools for 3D Lighting
Would love to see more open source competitors in this space. I was excited when I saw a Github link, but that's basically hosting just a README and the only one I know of is [GeoPix](https://github.com/EnviralDesign/GeoPix), but to be fair I haven't used either LX Studio or GeoPix. LX Studio does look exciting though, I will evaluate it on my next LED mapped project. A few projects I've done in the past have been playing with [Enttec ELM](https://www.enttec.com/product/dmx-lighting-control-software...) which is also not open source. A really neat feature of that software though is you can map GLSL shaders over your stages.
- I wanted to share an update on where my open source lighting software GeoPix 2.0 is at these days. Full video link below!

LX Studio: Tools for 3D Lighting
Seems to be an issue with the latest macOS update, they had similar issues in macOS Ventura and I copied the fix over for macOS Sonoma and was able to see the IDE after running from IntelliJ.
Check out the PR if you're interested: https://github.com/heronarts/LXStudio/issues/6#issuecomment-...

Anyone here have experience with LX Studio?
I don't have any experience with that library, looking at the API it seems like there's a decent amount it can do. I'd work your way through the tutorials as a starting place.
