ziviDomeLive 2.0.0

ziviDomeLive 2.0.0 is a major release of the Processing 4 Contributed Library for real-time fulldome, spherical and immersive audiovisual creation.

This release consolidates the native spherical rendering architecture, the public 2.0 API, lifecycle-safe scene services, cross-platform external outputs, documentation, qualification infrastructure and publication metadata.

Highlights

• Native GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP spherical capture pipeline.
• Independent Standard and spherical rendering domains.
• Domemaster, Equirectangular and Skybox projections from the shared cubemap.
• Public ziviDomeLive facade with RenderMode and ViewType top-level enums.
• Lifecycle-safe Scene contract and activation-scoped services.
• Typed output routing for NDI, Syphon and Spout.
• Transparent RGBA output contract across Standard and spherical views.
• Spherical Pitch / Yaw / Roll calibration and Domemaster FOV / Size%.
• Ten categorized examples and tools.
• Rebuilt MkDocs documentation and generated Javadocs.
• CodeMeta, CFF and Zenodo publication metadata.
• Apache-2.0 licensing for the 2.0 release line.

Rendering architecture

Standard domain

Scene → StandardRenderer → PGraphicsOpenGL → Standard target

Spherical domain

Scene → CubemapRenderer → native GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP → projection renderer

The spherical domain follows the project contract:

Capture once / Project many / Consume many

Available render modes:

• FULL
• STANDARD
• DOMEMASTER
• EQUIRECTANGULAR
• SKYBOX

Available final views:

• STANDARD
• DOMEMASTER
• EQUIRECTANGULAR
• SKYBOX

External outputs

External publication is opt-in and independently routed by final view.

• NDI through Devolay 2.2.0-vic.2
• Syphon on macOS
• Spout on Windows

The official NDI Runtime remains an external installation requirement.

A temporary community universal Syphon compatibility package for Processing 4 on macOS is also attached to this release. It contains both arm64 and x86_64 native binaries and is not an official Syphon Project release.
