I created the VJ project because I am very interested in becoming a professional Video Jocky for clubs, raves, and DJs. This is the first implementation of the final product that I am envisioning. Everything that is displayed is directly controllable by the VJ themself and there are 10 slots for presets that they can edit and change on the fly.
For future versions, I would like to include a full screen mode, being able to play videos, have on screen controls and other features.
Features
This project includes camera control, lighting, hierarchical modeling, loads of customability, and fun!
Customability
The customability of this includes object shape, color of objects, color of background, speed of motion, direction, radius, object rotation, wireframe or solid, camera translation and lookat, adding and deleting objects, strobing colors, object translation, and the ability to make presets.
Using & Setting Presets
To use a preset simply press any of the number keys. Or press + or - to cycle through all 10 presets. To change a current preset with a new one simply hold shift and the number you want the preset as.
