Good Morning! I agree. Here's something I've been doing. Aside from working on my personal plugins, I've been wanting to show my appreciation to the community by designing a set of 3d assets / filmstrips that people can use on their projects.

There are quite a few regulars in here that always get me going when im stuck. I Love it here!

This is just a mockup of one of the kits im working on. All of these assets should be available for anyone to use soon. Dont quote me on "soon". Im sure everyone in here has 10 things going at once lol.

Im still messing around with the faceplate so the actual release might not be exact.

Much Love to the community!
Special Thanks to @Christoph-Hart
and honorable mention to Mr. @d-healey who got me going on all this in the first place!
Im soaking it all in!

@rglides SAMPLE:

*HISE Logo for fun. Dont sue me. lol

Ok just sharing my first 3d Knob that I made! This is gonna be fun.

@lalalandsynth how do you get your shadows to show up in the animation? I can seem to get mine to show up on the transparent areas.

@Chazrox man I really figured this one out on my own and im proud of myself. lol

I started digging around and I opened the corresponding .xml file for the project and noticed in one of the lines that it was pointing to a default preset that no longer existed in the expected folder it was supposed to be in. Turns out I DID do something, which was move that folder that the preset was supposed to be in. I deleted that line and everything opened up as normal. fweeww! Sweats! haha.

this thing...

@clevername27 agreed. Just resubscribed for my second month and the amount that i've learned so far is insane.

@d-healey Woah! That changed the game for me! Now I can use my Blender skills to make my own assets! Cheee! Thank You Sir! Dont mind this crappy design, I just did it for testing.

chanting Lets go Christoph! Lets GO!

Im sure all my bugs are covered here so im just sending some good energy! haha
@Christoph-Hart

Besides my console models, I decided to start making some pedal kits for everyone too! Lmk if you guys have any requests.

const var screenshot = ! Render;
so dont judge my lighting so hard. lol

@d-healey Thank you for all your videos. Im literally learning everything I know from you! Thank You!

Heres a few different versions to choose from with slightly different intensities.

@x_Luv2xcreate Thanks! Im trying to see how far I can get with just using just laf functions. I actually started off doing it the same way but I'll probably end up doing a combination of the two.

@x_Luv2xcreate said in FINALLY! Custom Preset Browser Thanks to Mr. Healey!:

How do you do it?

I just followed @d-healey 's video on his patreon (shameless D.Healey plug) . Honestly took me a few hours because im still learning as well but I highly suggest you watch this and just follow along. It'll help you understand a lot of other things along the way.

When you're done.

Watch his video on "namespaces" and it'll show you how to save that script and use it in any of your projects.

I've made it this far!

What a journey to unlock the preset browser lol.

Im new to coding AND HISE so this was a treat!

Hours of @D.Healey videos! haha Any other noobs like myself, I highly reccomend his YouTube AND Patreon!

So I know its very flat. Any tips on how you guys get those sick gradients? I know there are gradient api's but I havent played with them much yet. I start getting lost with all the coordinates. Any advice for a noob? Maybe some quick tips to improve?

Appreciate you in advance!

@Orvillain sorry brother no disrespect. After reading that it could sound rude. I apologize.

@d-healey and thats why you're the man!

@rglides Tooo easy! Anybody else wanting looking for this also...this is the ONE. All you have to do is choose the folder that your images are in an it does everything for you, including cropping out any unnecessary padding and spits out a perfect film strip. Sweeeet!

@pcs800 I was saying similar things when I first came here. My advice is buckle down and learn a few things. HISE is very non-coder-user-friendly but a little bit of coding can take you a long way. All of the advanced features REQUIRE code. Subscribe to @d-healey 's Patreon and Youtube channel. You'll learn everything you need to get started! It helps so much, I have it programmed into my stream deck. lol.

When I first started I programmed all of these script "templates" to my stream deck controller so whenever I needed to "code", I just pressed one of these buttons with pre-saved scripts. These are basic and I can write them all from scratch now but this helped me out big time when I was just starting.

Just sharing my personal noob-journey. lol. Keep going, learn, learn, learn. Good Luck! Happy Hising!

@griffinboy the first plugin im releasing is a 24Channel Drum Machine w/ 9 Samplers and 3 Send FX + Comp/EQ settings for every channel. Ambitious?? AF! lol....I learned very fast that I had jumped in on the deep end but I didnt quit and now its done. Took me 4 months but Thanks to everyones help here on the forum we got there! Mind you, I came here with ZERO coding experience! <--Me when I first got here. lol

@d-healey I would take that even further (lol) to say Identify your demographic, and fulfill a need or a want. Best scenario.

@elemen8t
Something quick to get you started.

@iamlamprey said in How/Where do you actually market/sell your plugins?:

Since you mentioned you can't afford paid ads, free organic content is the way to go.

Make a single educational / entertaining video using the instrument/plugin and post it to youtube, then cut sections out of it to post as short-form content on instagram, youtube, tiktok etc.

Repeat that several times per week for several months (or until you're making enough to do paid ads).

Then take the content that works (your most successful short videos), and turn them into paid ads.

I would add to this... use all of your resources. If you have friends/peer music producers, share your plugin with them and ask them to post about it if they like it. I'm a musician but I also have a handful of years of experience in Brand Marketing for some of the biggest island/reggae artist and we take advantage of cross promotion all the time. Gotta get creative and think of other things you can leverage in exchange for their review if money isnt available yet.

Im a believer in the power of grass roots culture. It works.
Find influencer/producers on youtube that give reviews on plugins. The good guys wont even accept your money for a review but they'll genuinely review it if they love it or hate it, but they'll never know if you dont send it. If you dont have a team behind your product, you're gonna have to be boots to the ground all by yourself until you can build a team. Outreach. Utilize social media, if you dont have many followers yourself, negotiate some deals with people that do. If you dont have the budget to pay people to review, find the ones who will do it for a free plugin/s.

Personally I hope to utilize my relationships with all of my industry peers, some whom have entered into the realm of streaming product reviews and workflows etc.. in addition to what has already been suggested on the thread which is alot of good advice. I just wanted to give my personal 2 cents onnit and possibly inspire some ideas. I wish the best for you brotha!
