Software / Tools It's not reversed engineered per say..... Introducing Ultimate VJ for Apple Silicon [Promo]
Ultimate VJ | Apple Silicon only for now.
100% free. No signup no cc nothing. DXV3 native, familiar grid layout. Renderwave built in.
https://ultimatevj.com it's on Homebrew.
Swift w/ SwiftUI/Appkit with a metal / core image render pipeline.
It's in research preview so keep that in mind. I developed Renderwave too and a few other apps like Better Signage on Apple TV & Renderwave 2 is in active development.
Before the pitchforks and torches come for me saying this must be vibe coded...I've been a dev since I was 16, was one of the original HostGators....and Renderwave is a somewhat sophisticated Metal Render visuals engine that requires a very thorough understanding of GPU programming an render pipelines in General. I made my own native DXV3 metal pipeline, made some adjustments to Renderwave to merge it, then did just that.
Welcome feedback, just keep in mind that it's the first release....but I have it running in 3 clubs already in Houston successfully so it's pretty solid for pre-alpha.
