hey all,

here is the latest and probably last state of my liveperformance 3d synth.

i started this back in 2004 and worked on it on and off since then, parallel to vj gigs with brandx in glasgow and more recently at the sirius ( http://siriusberlin.de ) parties in berlin for the last couple of years. there are still tons of bugs and things that are not quite elegant, but since i pretty much abandoned development in 2009 i thought i might just as well share the current state with you.

in the zip, besides the patches you also find a sort of quickstart cheatsheet. i hope it's not too confusing.

the concept is pretty simple. you'll find all the general options of gem for influencing the window, a buch of lights, a simple glsl videomixer and two modules that allow loading of model files and native gem objects. automate xyz rotation, translation and scale, set colors, iterate, texture with image or video, make a particle system or animate text.

because of a lack of time, i can't really give proper support on it, but will of course try to answer questions as they come up.

i've been running generat with the current version of pd-extended on osx.

spread at will and enjoy.

even though still version 3, this showreel was purely made in generat, however edited to shorten afterwards:

the music on it is also mine.

Massive man lots of people don't put that much effort in to there work that what make a project or breaks a project.

man, thanks for this, I ll use it ! I tried everything recently, from Gemq to Gephex. Nothing worked properly on linux. but this works and there's no abstractions missing so It motivates me to keep the flame alive! seriously, it's a beast. I m trying to find a workflow for live sessions of animated stuff ,something that s like a sequencer with intricate structures for Gem. I started using Iannix which is awesome but combined with something like this could be really useful.

cheers, that's ace to hear.

i updated the link in the first post to point to the correct location at my newly designed site, where there are more videos i made with generat.

updated link in first post.

(

sneak peak: i'm working on a more accessible and faster version with less options in the interface, aimed to stream into vdmx, coge or resolume.

if you have feedback now, for what should definitely go and is utterly useless, or is ace and should stay, fell free to let me know!
