FFGL in Rust
FFGL Binding for rust. Resolume + macos + glium + rust
Support
- Currently Macos only
- Wouldn't require too much to get working on windows, just need to get the build script working
- FFGL 2 (resolume)
Functionality
- Logging inside resolume
- Handy scripts to build and run inside resolume
- Example ISF plugin
- Give an input ISF file and output an FFGL plugin
- Quicker than using Wire for basic ISF shaders
- Buildtime error for invalid ISF code
Usage
Currently only tested on macos.
ISF Example
The following command will take an ISF file and output an FFGL plugin. The plugin will be copied to the resolume plugin folder.
example_isf/isf_to_resolume.sh <isf_file>
Commands
Deploy
The following script will turn the dylib into a macos bundle and copy it to the resolume plugin folder.
example_isf/deploy_bundle_to_resolume.sh
Run
./run_resolume.sh
Change log level
I have integrated tracing into the plugin. To change the log level you can set the RUST_LOG environment variable. For example to set the log level to trace you can run
RUST_LOG=trace ./run_resolume.sh
Extending
ffgl-core
You can create your own plugin from scratch by either using the SimpleFFGLInstance trait, or implement both the FFGLHandler and FFGLInstance traits.
You must call the ffgl_handler!() macro to associate your plugin with the correct entry points.
ffgl-glium
Use this to create a glium instance while inside an ffgl plugin
ffgl-isf
Use this to create an isf plugin. Needs more work to be modular.
Future work
- Get working on Windows
- Get working on FFGL1 (VDMX)
- Embed any linked photos into the dylib along with the ISf source
- Handle multiple passes ✔️
- Label inputs
- String inputs
Aims
I want a simple wrapper to make plugings for VJ programs such as resolume and present the user a basic GL context that can be used however you want for fun &advanced FX/Sources. This could be a good starting point for other connections (Connect to a touchdesigner instance that can automatically pause and swap between COMPs)
