wow. lot of cool stuff. Ive been off for a little while, and AVS forum stopped sending me notifications for some reason.
Been working on some major refactoring (
https://github.com/azeem/webvs/tree/refactr) of webvs core code. cleaning up lot of the shader code and internals. Also writing some tests. I guess these changes + other fixes etc. can be put together as the first numbered version. I will write some detailed documentation or maybe a blog post about the internal wirings and how to write Effect components, would like lots of help on this.
I have separated out the editor UI project into a separate repo (
https://github.com/azeem/webvsed), the webvs library contains only the core library, the examples directory contains individual examples and tests.
Also checkout
https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit this is an awesome platform. Its basically nodejs+stripped-down-chrome that allows javascript applications to work standalone and it supports webgl too. I was able to quickly put together a standalone version of webvs that works on the desktop. This IMO is super exciting.
Also working on the firefox issues. FF 24 release supports mp3 so the streaming issue is fixed, meanwhile some other problems have cropped up with dancer.js. Either ways webvs uses an adapter to interface with audio, so im thinking of looking at a more reliable audio library like using the flash support with soundmanager2 or something. Need to look at the beat detection also. The one in dancer.js is not very good.

this is a nice doc, but it's also seemingly an older version of the file format, or a not-always-well-researched one. it has much good information, but some errors. just to let people know. |

wow so much awesomeness. This is really brilliant. Also, presently, avs presets and webvs preset are not a one to one map. so we might have to do some preprocessing in between, to make the output work directly.

I agree, forum is better. Particularly for me, i think my timezone is 5+ hours ahead of most of you guys, been hanging out at the avs irc channel for sometime but rarely see any activity because of this. Having to put all discussion under one thread is getting a bit hairy though.
