We just released a new online Onyx-VJ integrated to videopong.net website which features the loading of assets directly from videopong.
Have a look !
Sorry for the all the non-posting, as, of course, life happens. I’ve been busy freelancing since I left Adobe, and funny enough, I’m busier than before :). Development is still being done, and hopefully a beta release soon. Keep your eyes and ears open. Thanks for being patient folks.

Hello peoples of the world. I am a lagger. A big fat lagger. I have been performing and working so much, that I haven’t had much time to connect and put out a new build. There are a couple things looming that I will try to release in the next couple months:
Onyx 3.0.8 (AIR / File support / Auto Thumbnailer) — there is an issue with plugins, and I’m trying to resolve this.
Onyx 3.1 (MIDI/auto file conversion)
Stefano Cottafavi has done amazing work with both of these, but I haven’t been able to sync up with him yet to integrate them into the builds. I apologize.
I’m sorry for not keeping you updated, and I know the build of 3.0.6 is broken for Mac. The 3.0.8 build will fix this.
Please be patient — as it seems these days I have a life (how exciting).

I will be performing live video at MonkeyTown on Wednesday, February 13th at 8pm. If you’d like to see what an upcoming build of Onyx can do, please join us at this show. I will be performing with all live capture recording — playing with props, and other fun stuff. The music will be done with my crew in San Francisco — definately the music will be top notch.
