Question 1

How do I build a Resolume Wire plugin?

Accepted Answer

Plugin Professor lets you describe any visual effect in plain language and generates the ISF shader code and Wire node diagram for you. You can export the code directly into Resolume Wire — no coding experience required for basic plugins. For more complex effects, it guides you through the node-to-code relationship step by step.

Question 2

What is ISF and how does it work with Resolume Wire?

Accepted Answer

ISF (Interactive Shader Format) is an open shader format used by Resolume Wire to create custom visual effects. ISF files are GLSL shaders with a JSON header that defines parameters. Wire can load ISF files as custom nodes, letting you build plugins that integrate into Resolume's effect chain. Plugin Professor specializes in generating ISF code optimized for Wire.

Question 3

Can AI help me write GLSL shaders for VJing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plugin Professor is an AI tool built specifically for writing GLSL/ISF shaders for Resolume Wire. Unlike generic AI assistants, it's powered by a 700+ document knowledge base covering Wire nodes, ISF specifications, and GLSL fundamentals — so it understands Resolume-specific requirements like parameter types, render passes, and cross-platform compatibility.

Question 4

How do I convert a Shadertoy shader to Resolume?

Accepted Answer

Plugin Professor can convert Shadertoy shaders to ISF format compatible with Resolume Wire. Paste the Shadertoy code and it handles the conversion — remapping uniforms (iResolution, iTime, iMouse), converting texture lookups, adding ISF headers with proper parameter definitions, and ensuring cross-platform compatibility for Mac and Windows.
