End of October '22 a friend asked me if I could make a collection of nodes for him that he should definitely know when learning Gamma. So during Nodevember I sat down going through every single node in the node browser to do so. The outcome now is a beginner tutorial series of 38 patches and topics, covering everything from A to VL and Vector4 (Split).
This is a tutorial series for beginners of vvvv, a visual programming environment for technologists in creative coding, data and sound visualization, multimedia art, interaction design, software en...
nuget install VL.ThePatchersGuide
Some dogmas I had during the creation:
All nodes are only from the standard set in the node browser.
2D and 3D drawing is treated and taught completely equally, all principles are presented for Skia and Stride.
No node is ever used that is not explained in the current patch or hasn’t been in one of the previous ones.
Focus on clear principles and try not to go extremely complex.
Have fun exploring and bussi baba!
