MilkDrop 3.26+ beta ;)

I need beta testers please! If your computer has 2 graphics cards, please test in the MilkDropPanel > Graphics

• Do you see your 2 cards with the right name?

• Does the main one / active one name is displayed directly on top of the drop down menu?

• Can you select them / does it work? Press save and restart MilkDrop to test. Is MilkDrop3 running with the selected one?

  I can't test this because I don't have 2 graphics card! thanks!

Preset of the day!

Teaser #2 :)

I've send a beta version to all the people who've been here for more than 6 months so check your messages!

Teaser :)

MilkDrop's mother of all GUI

Last month I've started coding the ultimate GUI for MilkDrop.

It will be entirely customizable and insanely fast (up to 32 threads!), you'll be able to control everything with a proper interface.

I'm coding a special version of MD3 for VJs too, focused on performance and stability :)

Preset of the day

Drag n drop your own image, it's a pretty fun preset :)

MilkDrop 3.25+ update

What's new:

• Press 'b' to unlock and edit a sprite from a loaded preset.

• You can now use the menus and see the cursor in fullscreen mode (select this option in the panel).

• A few new presets and sprites

• Compatible with Windows 7

• A few tiny bugs were patched (drag n dropping presets is better handled now, it will appears when pressing the backspace or loading the list with 'L', I've patched a bug when changing the sense &l...

New version of MilkDrop 3.25+ coming out

In a few days :)

MIDI Controls for MilkDrop 3 :)

A small preview of what I'm working on. This is a really, really early alpha version, but the hardest part is coded (listing all the MIDI devices, catching the keys/knobs/pads with various intensities, making MilkDrop react...). Now the fun part begins! I should be able to map any action possible to a MIDI input. I'm using my shader injection techniques so the result is savable anytime to the .milk file!

A few presets :)

Preset of the day with crazy colors!

Needs at least MilkDrop 3.25 to run, copy the spirale4.png in the sprites folder.

Bug tracking

Have you seen this screen while using MilkDrop3 or 3+ ?

This is the default crash screen of MilkDrop, it's pretty old, I should update it because it probably have nothing to do with running up of video memory nowadays. 

I've seen it a few time while using MilkDrop3 (not the + version, or a lot less at least), but I'm an extreme user (loading multiple sprites, entering / exiting full screen, injecting effects...) and I need to track it down to understand why it's happening mor...

Roadmap updates:

A few updates on what I'm working on: 

I'll be just making/mashing new presets this week, because I haven't got  the time to really try my new sprite features ;) 

Sprites will be an ongoing thing to improve, there is so much to be done, loading the sprites faster, keeping them in memory, pre-loading all the sprites when MilkDrop starts, allowing to save multiple sprites in one preset, be able to edit them separately... this is going to be fun. 

I may be a...

MilkDrop 3.25+

With sprite layers + some new presets :)

Lot's of bugs corrected since last version, and you can choose the startup preset !

EDIT : file was updated with the missing sprites! please re-download

MilkDrop 3.25

Well, it's finally here! 😊

• Save any sprite directly in the milk file!
• Click and hold the right mouse button to move the sprite around the screen to any position, and resize it using your mouse wheel.
• The sprite menu has been completely recoded. Choose from 5 sprite layers with the 'Layers' menu: you can fully merge your image in the preset!
• New sprite effects are available, and you can now cumulate them too!
• The folders 'sprites' and 'texture...

Sprite merging

In the version coming up in a few days, you'll be able to merge any images deeper into the shaders; your image won't just be floating on the  top but will be IN the shader :) 

Also, you'll be able to accumulate all the sprite effects!

Quick update

I've fixed 3 bugs the past 3 days!

2 small ones, the repeat menu not working and the opacity menu a bit buggy.

most important is a bug that I've been tracking for a month now, the loaded sprite was randomly disappearing, it's fix now! please just download the MilkDrop 3.exe and replace it.

MilkDrop 3.25+

A pretty huge update for MilkDrop:

- Save any images directly in the .milk or .milk2 file! Just drag 'n' drop any images (jpg, png, bmp, jfif) on the window and move it with your right click and resize it with your mouse-wheel.

- New sprite menu, a lot smarter: it won't be activated if no sprite is loaded, the settings are checked or disable if not available. New effects too.

- You can now see only the devices available to use in the audio menu (so you won't see any micropho...

MilkDrop 3+ (Plus)

Some people are getting confused between the 3.30 versions and the normal 3.2x version available on github so I decided to rebrand the 3.30 versions to 3+

The plus version will be the latest and greatest version of MilkDrop3 with a few extras:

- They will always have twice the amount of presets

- Ability to select your audio device

- Spout support

And a few extras options ;)

So the next plus version will be MilkDrop 3.25+ and the normal 3.25 version will be...

New version of MilkDrop3 coming out this Sunday!

with the ability to save any image directly in the preset :)

Reshade + MilkDrop3 = :)

I recently discovered Reshade (thanks to Incubo_) and it's pretty amazing what you can do! Reshade pretends to be the DirectX9 driver, gets the last image from MilkDrop, and add some extra effects on top before sending it back to the real DirectX9 driver. A lot of the effects available would be impossible to render in MilkDrop, so this is very interesting! See the picture, martin - hardcore mix 2 with TinyPlanet.fx, really cool stuff. And the best part is you can accumulate the effects!<...

Working on enabling sprites saving directly in the .milk file!

This is going to be a game changer for creating new presets, so simple yet so powerful :)

A few presets I've been working on :)
