Let there be light: rfx-Art-Net

Art-Net is a simple, yet very powerful industry standard for controlling devices remotely. It is used anywhere from Hollywood virtual production, to your local concert stage effects, to making homes more welcoming and relaxing with beautiful ambient lights.

I'll share with you the details of how I built rfx-Art-Net to expose Art-Net and DMX devices over WebSockets, how and why it works.

Lowering the entry barrier to 3D

Programming the GPU is seen as challenging and highly specialized, not to mention the very steep learning curve.
We'll look at a framework that simplifies the consumption and creation of 3D scenes and content.
