EWOCprojects stands for "Eyes Wide Open Creation projects".
It is the name for everything concerning the software
applications written by me, Gert De Roost, a 37 year old
Belgian computer hobbyist, the people involved and any
activities surrounding the applications.
At the moment the software content of this site consists of
two old Blender modeling scripts
and a now brandnew
version of EdgeTune:
* KnifePro: a versatile substitute for Blenders knife tool
* EdgeTune: a tool for rearranging edgeloops by sliding verts
Then there is the Python graphical application
Venetian Mask
(Blender script Venice Mask in a previous development cycle)
which involves constructing image masks featuring a new,
user-friendly and interactive use of the standard
'magic wand' tool, an extensive preview system,
interactive parameter adjustment and
a node-based structure. For Mac, Windows and Linux.
Then there is our new flagship application,
EWOCvj
, which is a full-featured videomixing application developed using
the multimedia framework Pure Data with some C and Python structures created for it. The application is quite a
beast to set up, but now there is also a LiveCD available. Much easier!
EWOCvj is under continual development but can be used and is already used for variable VJ tasks. To use the program
one needs one or two quadcore computers (PAL 720x576 output) or dual core (320x240) and the application
is specifically written to be used with the Vestax VCI-100 MIDI mixing'n'scratching deck. When using two computers,
one can VJ with two persons, the video database being on both machines, with one preparing videos with loop and
effect settings and sending all this data to the other machine, where the other person performs the live mix.
EWOCvj features 46 realtime video effects with 5 effects per deck (two decks A and B) and per-deck saturation settings,
10 video wipes, a normal and inverse chroma key, one video+effect monitor per deck, Quicktime recording of monitors
or mix, 32 video bank in 4 saveable 8 video parts, 8 videos in preset bank for direct triggering with Korg NANOpad2 and
another NANOpad2 serves as loop input recorder/player. Videos and parts can be sent to other locations on the same or
other machine. Most effects have a parameter, controlled by a turning knob. The video database consists of Quicktime
movies 720x576 25f and one needs to transcode to the dv or Photo JPEG codec.
We know this program needs a load of setup and hardware, thats why we would really like to know if anyone is
using it on any projects, also feedback and feature requests are always welcome. Also arrangements can be made if
help is wanted getting the setup together. Consider this program "feedback-ware", if you use it, let us know!
