“It’s basically a vertex shader, so can’t be used as a pixelshader in vvvv, but could be used as a vertex shader in vvvv. You would have to convert the code from GLSL to HLSL though. The GLSL code is on my site (link above), but actually if you need HLSL you can find loads of similar radial distortion samples on the web (Alex has links to a few more superior radial deformations on his blog, again link above).

In this video the GLSL is simply deforming the sphere and rendering with a very basic flat shading, it’s VDMX which is doing the audio analysis and animating the parameters of the GLSL shader… and taking the flat rendered sphere and applying quite a bit of post effects to get this look.”

See yourself in Code

“Commissioned for the BBC’s make it digital event, the brief was ‘to get children into code’. My installation downloaded the event’s twitter feed in real time and displayed the page’s body text inside the bodies of passing people. Moving their hands around allowed people to scroll through the html/js/CSS.”

Synscape

A soundscape that responds to color.

By Helen Trevillion

The Max patch is not available. From the video it appears that many channels of sound are playing concurrently. Color values are assigned to faders for each channel.
