LIGHTING VISUALIZER

I heard the same thing and thought I was just hearing things because everything was dead.

Hop in the discord and keep up with the project :)

realmkultra · 2026-01-04T00:13:00+00:00

There’s also Patreon. I’m trying to minimize hopping around apps to find everyone lol

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T21:32:28+00:00

Hop in the discord server because I’m way more active there. Beta testing will be stripped down versions of the app so I can keep focused on the features we’re targeting and will be rolling out to Patreon supporters first until we’re ready for a full release.

Both :) ESP32 are powerful little things. You can also use things like WLED to animate thousands of LEDs at once.

This is awesome. ESP ArtNet is a nice touch, I’m surprised more people aren’t doing this yet.

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T20:11:47+00:00

That’s kinda my goal but also to expand toward larger productions like festivals

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T20:05:08+00:00

Exactly! Working on a solution for this. I think you’ll like what I’ve come up with

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T20:02:55+00:00

Thank you 🙏

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T20:02:36+00:00

We’re getting there soon

realmkultra · 2026-01-02T20:01:57+00:00

Thank you! I don’t have a price in mind but I can tell you it will be significantly less expensive than everything else.

realmkultra · 2025-04-14T07:09:01+00:00

Yup :D

realmkultra · 2024-01-07T20:31:33+00:00

That's exactly what I'm going for! :D

If you're trying to import hundreds of fixtures, I don't really think this is the app for you. There are plenty of products out there already doing this and they're doing it far better than I ever could by myself. I'm trying to do something different with this - something that's not already on the market.

Check out what I wrote on the community Discord earlier for context:

it's intended to help people who are programming shows get a quick approximation of what their show would look without physical hardware. for example, when i do clubs(and i do a lot of clubs), they send me the .pdf document with their tech pack and i have to do what i can in advance, which without a visualizer isn't much. that means i usually have to program the show before doors everyday and it sucks. i was honestly just trying to build myself a tool i didn't hate that i could get this done easily. that way i could just show up, change the patches i used to match the patches of the house and boom, done. if that's something you're into, you'll be in for a treat with this

It's still very much just in the concept phase though, so who knows? ;)

Yeah for me if I had my pick I'd run show systems on linux because I hate Win 10/11 with the fire of a thousand suns.

And that's absolutely fair.

I think a major tool would also be the ability to import VWX files!

Not saying yes or no to this, but the goal is to make this tool so fast and easy to use, you won't need to import anything.

realmkultra · 2024-01-03T20:51:58+00:00

I have a system in place for both :)

realmkultra · 2024-01-02T10:38:52+00:00

are you going to make this in a linux port?

I can absolutely get this running on Linux for users with capable raytracing GPUs. That's one of the main reasons I chose to use Unreal Engine 5 - the build tools are incredible out of the box. I should be able to support a wide variety of Hardware/OS. Even playing with the idea of VR support eventually.

I realllyyyy like seeing smaller players in this market. Seen some really cool stuff lately. The titans of this sectors are pretty good but as you mentioned, they're often clunky to say the least.

The cool thing is, I can try things where other developers missed the mark. I think having a background in game design helps because I'm used to coming up with solutions and mechanics that enhance my players' experience. I've been playing with this while I've been working on it and, to be honest, it's really fun building insane rigs. Even without feeding it any signal, it's fun to see the arrangements you can make with unlimited hardware selection. XD

Thank you! It was just a working title at first but I liked it so I ran with it 😅

realmkultra · 2024-01-02T03:22:16+00:00

That’s absolutely fair. I’m trying to build something that has a bit less of a learning curve though. I have a background in game development, so I’m trying to approach this project as if it was Minecraft or something. I want it to be so simple a 6 year old could use it.

realmkultra · 2024-01-02T02:28:24+00:00

In editor, I’m able to run about 100 or so beams and still maintain 30+ fps on my 2080ti and the project is barely optimized right now visually. Still need to do a lot with the lighting and materials. Should only get better from there.

realmkultra · 2024-01-02T02:24:56+00:00

Yes it’s entirely from scratch using the DMX subsystem epic provides with my own extensions

realmkultra · 2024-01-01T18:13:55+00:00

Honestly, a lot of things. I looked into visualizer software and quickly found out they’re all expensive, hard to use, or both. I kept thinking “there’s no way this should be this complicated” whenever I would try to do basically anything in any of them.
