Blob Tracking V2 is finally here – a motion-based version of the plugin that runs natively inside Resolume! I created V1 to get a similar look using luma workarounds. In V2 it actually tracks movement across your content, so the boxes feel smoother, more responsive, and way more fun to push around during a set! A few highlights of V2: ○ Works on both Mac + PC ○ 10 drag-and-drop presets to get the looks shown ○ Intuitive controls for blob size, sensitivity, speed, colors, masking, and more ○ Major tracking upgrade over V1 ○ Bulit and Tested on Resolume version 7.23+ Included with the VJ Academy membership (link in bio) [Highlights from the full V2 breakdown] #BlobTracking #Resolume #ResolumeWire #Wire #VJ #LiveVisuals #VJAcademy #Visuals #RexAffects

I built this 'Custom ASCII' plugin for Resolume. Turns any visual into fully customizable ASCII art with two modes: Text — type anything. Spell it out on your visuals, scramble it, rotate letters. Sprite Sheets — drop in your own symbols, icons, whatever fits the moment. My favorite looks are saved as presets for easy drag-and-drop. If you've seen this look in TouchDesigner — this is how you get it in Resolume. Link in bio.

What projection mapping looks like when you build the sculpture for it. This is Tessellate — a CNC-cut sculpture my partner @mari_jjo and I built from scratch. Fully mapped, painted, wired with LEDs. It's been on display at @themedium_art in Springdale, Arkansas since early March. Everything you see is running through Resolume — meticulously mapped to every layer of the sculpture. 11 layers of depth, which made the mapping way more interesting (and way more complicated) than a flat surface. 50 looks on rotation, cycling every 20 seconds. For behind the scenes looks at the build process, check out my previous post. The 9-week exhibit wraps in May and we're bringing it out to festivals this summer with new looks added. Tag a festival you think should have it — or just drop which one you're hitting this year. Curious where everyone's headed.

This one means a lot to us. Months of work on a CNC-cut sculpture we built from scratch — fully mapped, painted, LED strips and all. We documented the whole journey and here are a few snippets. Deep dive coming soon. Unveiled Friday, March 6th at @themedium_art in Springdale, Arkansas alongside amazing local artists. Huge thanks to The Medium for giving us the space to create something we've been dreaming about for years!!

Most VJs skip this technique — here's why you shouldn't. Custom text, logos, and symbols — all from one image. Swipe through for the quick breakdown + a free tool to make your own sheets automatically. We're running a Sprite Sheet Contest in VJ Academy right now. Submit one to enter and get access to everyone else's, plus a prize. Details on the final slide, link in bio. #VJAcademy #VJ #LiveVisuals #Resolume

Built this ‘Blob Tracking’ VJ plugin for Resolume to finally get a look I’d been chasing for a long time — without bringing in extra software. Traditionally, this effect was only possible by piping in other VJ software into Resolume, which can be resource-intensive, time-consuming, and pricey. Built in Resolume Wire, this plugin uses a luma-tracking workaround to lock onto the brighter areas of your content and drive clean tracking overlays, unique masking looks, and even built-in feedback styles. 14 drag-and-drop presets included. 50+ controls to dial in the blobs, sensitivity, tracking speed, and overall aesthetic. Included with the VJ Academy membership (link in bio) As of today, I made a huge breakthrough on doing a motion tracking version!! Be on the lookout for this v2 drop with a more dialed in smoothness and tracking precision.

I’ll be holding down main stage visuals this weekend at Momentous Festival! Been deep in prep all week and can’t wait to bring some fresh looks to these sets.

The lineup’s stacked, and the venue’s a super unique art gallery with multiple stages. Gonna be a fun weekend 🎶 🎟️ Use code CANTSTOP at checkout for $50 2-day passes

Been loving the variety of looks this plugin can create — from melty distortions to scattered slices. It’s one of those tools that’s just fun to push around and stack with other effects. Already seeing the VJ Academy crew twist it into wild directions I didn’t even imagine 👁️ That’s the best part — building plugins, then watching the community take them further. 🎛️ Included with the VJ Academy membership → grab it now along with 90+ tutorials, loops, and other VJ tools. 👉 Link in bio #VJ #Resolume #Visuals #RexAffects #VJAcademy #LiveVisuals
