vgc VS score

I've detailed some of the rationale here: https://github.com/vgc/vgc/issues/200

What's really cool is that VGC Illustration is fully free as in freedom (as in free speech, not price) software, and the creator is trying out the Ardour style funding model where you pay to obtain the compiled binaries, while the code is fully open source available in this GitHub repository. I like this funding model and encourage others to support it.

Oh, this is a super interesting feature request, thanks, I never thought of that! I added the request to GitHub to not forget: https://github.com/vgc/vgc/issues/565

Yes, it is open source, under the Apache 2.0 License. The source code for the prototype VPaint is here: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint and the source code for VGC Illustration is here: https://github.com/vgc/vgc

The prototype is using Qt's QColor, which I believe is underlying a 16-bit integer per channel. The new re-implementation VGC Illustration is actually using 64-bit float per channel, I'm not kidding: https://github.com/vgc/vgc/blob/master/libs/vgc/core/color.h . It's probably a little overkill, so I may tone it down to 32-bit float per channel if I notice performance issues, but yes, basically I'll have your needs covered :-P

https://ossia.io uses widgets and qgraphicsscene for the main UI rendering and Qt rhi for the GPU pipeline, and it's performing well enough for our use-cases - I was working on it on a 1080p screen on a Pi4 recently and it certainly felt much much faster and responsive than chrome on the same hardware.

I use it for live c++ recompilation in https://ossia.io - all the code is in there. https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score-plugin-jit/JitCpp

> I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds a LOT of textual languages.

For me both VSCode and CLion lag heavily.. whenver I tried CLion it was completely unuseable on my project https://ossia.io which is only 500kloc (and I try to try it pretty much once a year since it was in beta)

https://ossia.io does some of it, I've been working on a new release that also supports the whole QtQuick stack in the node graph items but you can already combine videos & shader effects

In https://ossia.io with PCH, using clang, ninja, mold, and some artificial split in shared libraries for development builds, I get a compile-edit-run cycle of a couple seconds in general... I wouldn't say it's too much of a problem if you use the tools already available

If you're interested in multimedia https://ossia.io is always looking for new contributors!

Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software.

here's a simple example of how to do it in https://ossia.io score : https://streamable.com/wkklek
