About

Luminaire VJ is currently in inofficial beta. You can download the preview build and use the full functionality. You will discover issues but loading a map and playing it for small gigs will usually work if you just let it run. for feature requests and support please join the discord 😉

Features

• Interactive Realtime 3D Visuals: powered by Unreal Engine
• Multiple Layers: Each layer can have multiple assets that are played back in sequence or randomly.
• Audioreactive: Most assets are audio reactive. Attach a microphone or connect an audio device via line-in to enable
• 26+ Assets: Comes with 26+ assets that are highly customizable. New assets will be added in future versions
• Autopilot: Enable the autopilot to automatically transition between assets, based on musical beats or bars
• Presets: Save any changes made to assets as preset for later reuse
• Save Changes: Save any changes you made to the maps as new maps
• NDI Output: Each camera you create can send an NDI signal. Simply set the NDI checkmark in the camera’s settings
  

Roadmap

Since the release of the preview build we updated to UE5 and made a lot of fundamental changes that are needed for planned features. Finishing these features will take some time. Out goal is to provide a fully functional application with the next release. So stay tuned. For feature requests and news join our discord

Next Release

These are mandatory features. We won’t publish a new version without these. So please be patient for us to finish <3

• Import UE5 Content & SDK: We are currently working on an SDK for the application. This will be an UE5 project that includes all the neccessary components to create new maps and content for the application. This allows to import your own content or content from the UE marketplace into the application
• In-App Shop: Since we want to make some money at some point we have created an in-app shop for content and features. This is mostly done but needs polishing. further down the road we want to allow user generated content so you can also sell your own content. But this extended feature will not be part of the next release.

Future Releases

These features are on our list and we want to add them. Feel free to discuss them on our discord

• Layer Thumbnails: You probably want to see how the parts look before you play them 😉 we know but this feature will take some time as assets can change dynamically and we want to have thumbnails that are correct and do not show the wrong thing.
• DJ Player Input: Receiving of JD Player timecode to automatically sync the visuals. This is a huge task so it is definitely further down the road.
• Camera Control: Currently cameras are static. so if you want movement, the assets need to move. We want to add camera movements like dolly movement or spline based movement
• Other Streaming Protocols: if we see demand for other protocols than NDI we are happy to add them. Let us know what your needs are
