Talking Custom Vortex visualizations presets and transitions

Hello,
I am interested in extending the visualizations, new images and such.
Ex. New visualizations that can be themed to a skin.

How do I make these .vis files I see, that is a great place for me to start learning this.
Thanks for your help.

Wink Vortex presets and transitions

You does not need source code in order to make presets for our Vortex visualisation, see:
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/...on_Development

also see these two topics that are stickys in this forum:
http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22415
and:
http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22365

They work similar to that of Milkdrop presets but are more flexible if I understand correct

would be nice with some new ones... i like this much better than the milkdrop.

Is there more presets than in the tech build somewhere?

Glad you like it. Unfortunately there are no new presets apart from some by Morte0815 that you can find in this forum. I was going to add them to SVN but forgot all about it.

One of his presets didn't work properly because of a bug in the version of AngelScript I used so I started updating Vortex to use a newer version along with adding on screen display of compilation errors and a few other bug fixes. But I got distracted by some other things that were going on (usually the pub) so I never got it finished. I may take another look at it and try to add some more effects and presets while I am at it.

Please feel free to create and contribute your own presets though!

Hey guys. First post here. When you say Visualizations, are you referring to visualizers for music playback on the XBMC?

Cheers

Question, is it possible for you guys to port the visualizers from say... iTunes? Or is all of Apple's source closed to the public?
