It’s summer, and while you might expect intrepid visual software developers to be away on holiday, the always prolific Resolume team has dropped a big update. Resolume 7.23 has performance improvements, new and improved Wire nodes, and something wonderful called parameter animation presets.
Parameter animations are an excellent, improvisatory, dynamic feature, totally in the spirit of what draws users to Resolume. Just pick some parameter settings, save them as a preset, and then apply them anywhere. It’s a little like clips for parameters. It just has that great “mess around with stuff and mess around some more” vibe. It’s easier to see than to explain:
They build a Preset Manager, too, and you can manage them in the file system if you prefer.
This looks like something that would be really fun to exchange with other users, too, so if you decide to share, let us know! (Seems like you could drop them on git, actually.)
There’s more in this release, too. Here’s what I’m happiest about:
- Performance enhancements
- Wire nodes: Count (counts everything, actually), Replace inf, and enhanced Anchor Point (adds Textures support, in addition to Geometry 2D, Slice, and Box2D)
- Slice Render and 2D Render nodes now support instancing (joining Shape Render and Text Render)
And more. See the full release notes in their blog. The emojis tell me it will be like riding a spaceship/rocket, lighting dynamite, and driving in F1, which reminds me that I still haven’t seen that new Apple F1 movie.
