View Full Version : Non-hysteric visualisation?
I'm sorry if this is not the correct place, feel free to redirect me...
I almost never have visualisation on for any media software, because for some reason they all tend to be hysterical swirling things apparently designed to make you feel high or possibly nauseous with no nasty side effects. This may be a worthy cause, but not what I want. I want a nice, beautiful visualisation which isn't hysteric and doesn't swirl or flash brightly. :laugh:
The best one I've seen was one that came with freevo. It simply split the screen into six purplish squares, and changed the brightness of each square in time with the music. It was a nice discreet little thing. :;):
Does anyone have a plugin or preset along those lines? Discreet, in a nice color? Something that isn't trying to give you a headache? ???

Where could I find those? I got waveform, projectM, openGL and goom installed by default.

Someone w/ some more knowledge on this will have to chime in.

The xbox vizs won't work on other platforms. Xbox is all directx, others are opengl.
Ahhh.... Would be nice if the Wiki mentioned this.
Spent some time trying to figure out why my Ubuntu box didn't have all of the vis files.
Took a while to work out that the open_gl ones still had to be ported over
Is there a timeframe on this port ? Is it hoped to be done in the next release ??

I also have some changes to projectM.conf, it looks like this, i can't remember the original values, or weather this presets look good with them. vis link (http://www.box.net/shared/5dp7c1v12d)

Mesh Y = 48
Preset Duration = 15

Bingo. Now I can slow it down and get rid of annoying ones.
Thanks for a tip.
