Very cool. Nice work.
I have an ATI A-I-W 8500DV. It seems to work generally well on my PC.
At normal speed, the tunnel zips along fine, and hesitates briefly every few seconds - but not enough for it to be a big deal. When I change the speed to fastest, it stops a lot.
The fly-by on the terrain is jerky and stops a lot.
At one point, the spectrum analyzer turned into what looked like a gray suspension bridge looking down from the top. Gray cables going down to a granite strip. Jerky movement, with an occasional small flash of the MC logo. I switched visualizations and back, and it reverted to normal.
Some subjective comments:
The granite floors on dot fountain and spectrum analyzer look awesome. Nice reflections.
I love the tunnel and the spectrum analyzer.
On some of the visualizations, it feels like there's a lot going on that is not really connected to the music. The camera movement, the spinning of the cube, the balls bouncing; they all seem to happen independent of what's playing - at least as far as I can tell.
Aside from the tunnel, it doesn't look good when you move the camera. I suggest the camera stay fixed; and spin, bounce, or mutate the objects in front of the camera.
Images (whether the MC logo or an album cover) look great on the cube, but don't look good as a floor, a terrain, a wallpaper without a visible edge, or on tiny balls. They're fine as a wallpaper above the granite floor.
Some other ideas, in case you're looking for them:
Convert the basic visualizations to 3D
- View the classic spectrum analyzer at an angle in 3D, showing 3D columns going up and down.
- Map the Oscilloscope onto a spinning globe along its equator.
- Map the Oscilloscope onto a spinning cube, perhaps having different styles on each face
- Perhaps create spinning cube versions of all the visualizations and trackinfo pages.
I can imagine one other moving camera view that might work... flying over an infinite terrain, like you do in the tunnel. I wouldn't like it, but I think it'd be pretty popular.
The tunnel could look better with something other than the MC logo... various color gradients, or stripes or other patterns.
