Non-hysteric visualisation? - regebro - 2009-06-25

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. Wink

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? Huh

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

Ah. I'm on Linux (Ubuntu).

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 ??

- althekiller - 2009-06-26

No one is working on it. Patches welcome.

Anyone can step up Nod ...like althekiller said, no one else is working on it.

I actually just use a very stripped down number of vises (projectM), might not be your style, but i dont mind it. 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

Bingo. Now I can slow it down and get rid of annoying ones.

Thanks for a tip.
