Resolume Forum

Hi there,

I would love to transition from using stock footage for my vjing in Resolume to create the actual footage myself.
Being a big fan of the Catmac material, I would love to know if anyone here could give me a hint where to start/what tu use to do something like this here:

Best,

Here are tools you can use—some for prototyping, others for real-time / performance:

TouchDesigner – wonderful for real-time visuals, working with shaders, feedback, displacement.

ShaderToy / GLSL / WebGL – great for writing procedural shaders, displacement, noise functions.

Processing / p5.js – good for prototyping generative visuals with code.

Blender (Eevee or Cycles) – for more 3D displacement + rendering loops which you can then re-import to Resolume.

After Effects + Displacement Map effects – useful for prototyping ideas / building footage assets.
