We've just released Vuo 1.2.3, which adds projection mapping and other features and bug fixes. In our newest community spotlight, we feature an interactive installation that evoked a multi-sensory forest. If you're looking for more votes to spend on feature requests, we've added another way to earn them. We offer some tips for learning Vuo if you're coming from Quartz Composer.

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 1.3 is in the works, and we've chosen to include several of the top-voted feature requests. And we're sharing a couple of tips on organizing cables and iterating through lists.

As we continue planning Vuo 1.3, we wanted to share some amazing things people are doing with Vuo 1.2 and earlier versions.

We're offering an end-of-year discount, and shining the community spotlight on jens probst.

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. We've introduced micropayments, a way for you to get paid for your Vuo artistry and say "thanks" to other Vuo composers. In this post, you'll also find some smooth tips on making animations.

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?
