The AVS is the
Advanced Viualization Studio, by
Nullsoft, the makers of
Winamp and
Shoutcast. In fact, if you insert the right coordiantes, values and colors, you can make something so
trippy even your grandmother would be proud of you. Lets say, a simple, yet magically trippy
bumpmapped simple
waveform render, can be made like this:
- 1 Winamp
- 1 Advanced Visualization Studio, prefferably the newest available.
- Some good music, each with its own differences, e.g, heavy bass, sharp synth and so on.
Make a blank AVS, by removing all the current
gizmos, and clearing the window of activity. Then, make a simple render, currently under "
Render" -> "
Simple". When in the window, change color to your liking, and change it to "Oscilliscope". Now, make a "
Trans" -> "
Fadeout", which makes the frames fade into a specified color. (By now you would have a scope, dancing along to whichever song you are playing). Then, add "
Trans" -> "
Bump" for the bumpmapping. Make sure the "
Frame:" says
x=0.5+cos(t)*0.3;
y=0.5+sin(t)*0.3;
t=t+0.1;
and the "Init:"
t=0;
Leave "Beat:" blank. Set Blend mode to "Replace", and turn "Fadeout" up to half up the scale. If you did it right you should have an example of what the AVS looks like.
