IMPORTANT UPDATE! May 12 13, 2026



Tomorrow Today Last Wednesday, on the 13th of May, the manual Patrons group (the one that gives you your green username AND access to dedicated Patrons spaces on WSL) will be has been DELETED.

This means that your access to those spaces will be has been revoked until you connect your Patreon account to WSL using the link below, which will give you access to the NEW, future-proof Patrons+++ group.

With the imminent release of ZEPPO BETA 2 - tentatively planned for released Friday today yesterday (!!) - I wouldn't dawdle... with Beta 2 (i.e. all my late nights in the past month), Zeppo has become something truly special, battle-tested and multi-user hardened in an actual production.

Yes, there will be a Reactor release eventually, and no, it won't have all the bells and whistles - those are for Patrons, because they are the ones keeping WSL afloat, which is still only barely these days...

I'd better get back to prepping that done did release then!

Thank you,

Pieter

Note: This effort is my latest XR project that used Reactor Standalone + Kartaverse + BMD Fusion Studio + TouchDesigner.

If you are in the Vancouver, BC, Canada area on Oct 30 + 31st from 9 PM to Midnight, and love immersive experiences, there is something fun you might enjoy at Dome Vancouver.

Director Neill Blomkamp's Oats Studios has a fulldome show conversion screening of the Oats "Volume 1" content happening at the Dome at H.R. MacMillan Space Centre.

Show presented by Pallazar immersive experiences. Tickets are available from Dome Vancouver.

https://www.domevancouver.com/show/neil ... s-volume-1

Please let your friends in the Vancouver area know about it! If people show up, and enjoy this type of cinematic event, then it could become an experience that is hosted regularly in the dome. We would love for that to happen!!!

Something cool I can share is that I was onboarded by Tobias Chen @ Volumetric Camera Systems to be involved in this fulldome conversion project on short notice, and so was Kartaverse! Wowzers. :)

Have a great Halloween. 🎃

After the official Oats event is over I should be able to share some BTS screenshots, videos, and notes about the experience of working on this effort. I will say it was a dream to bring Reactor along for the project as I've never had such a fast experiencing bootstrapping the pipeline. Even BMD Fusion Studio / Fusion Render Node was able to be installed via Reactor Standalone in only a few clicks! :popcorn:

You would not believe how important it is to have the eyeon Stress Reducer remake running on a 65 foot wide dome screen when you are working late and waiting for render tasks to complete on your workstation.

Here is a photo of the dome theatre screen from the Oats Volume 1 credits sequence. Feedback has been positive on the web from the event.

In theater work is the best. Nothing beats real WYSIWYG.
