Vuo 1.2.4 has arrived! This update comes with a bunch of new features, including new varieties of noise image generation, new image filters including advanced blurs, a node to easily interface with NI mate for skeletal tracking, and several nodes contributed by community members. Our newest community spotlight features LED lighting for a 3D audio system at Ministry of Sound in London. Two community members have created new Vuo tutorials. We invite you to share your own tutorials and compositions.

We've just released Vuo 1.2.3, which adds projection mapping and other features and bug fixes.

Vuo 1.2.2 is a big update that fixes 34 community-reported issues, adds several new features, and improves performance and stability. It's free for people who purchased Vuo 1.2.0 or Vuo 1.2.1. We've also added some new tutorials, and provide a tip on using ports with generic types.

You have a chance to win a Vuo Pro license and a CoGe license by creating an image filter and entering it in the CoGe+Vuo contest — now through March 13.

Vuo 1.2 adds a major feature our community has asked for: subcompositions, the ability to turn a composition into a reusable node that you can use inside of other compositions. Also in Vuo 1.2, we've improved performance and added a bunch of new nodes.

Vuo now seamlessly integrates with VDMX, the Mac VJ software from VIDVOX. Previously, integration was only possible via Syphon. Now you can simply drag a Vuo composition into your VDMX media bin to play and control it.

What's new in the Vuo community? We're shining the spotlight on Anthony Gene Guterac, a VJ based on Santiago, who performed with Vuo at the Sónar festival.

You can help pick the features that go into Vuo 1.3 by voting for your favorites. You can improve your Vuo skills with our new tutorials and a tip about the Process List node. And, have you seen the videos of Vuo being used to VJ in a planetarium?
