New show! Enjoy :)

This one took a while but I needed a nice challenge.

I aimed to take the viewer on a journey along with Terence McKenna who narrates this amazing track.

I'm aware that some of these effects won't scan (usually the best ones) but I'll fix that once I've built my laser.

Give yourself 8 minutes 40 seconds for this track it's a long one!

Designed using LSX and using the AVI export feature (need better lasers)!

great work, kept my attention for the whole track
6:00 is the best part, did you create it as a 2d mesh bent with perspective or is it a modelled 3d tunnel?

[Galvonaut]

Cheers dzodzo.

I created that effect from a stock LSX image of a 3D Helix-like cone, rotated so that we are looking up through the bottom and applied a rotation, a scaleXY and a perspective event. The second half of that sequence fades to a copy of the first but with SheerXbyZ and CurveSheerYbyZ added in the animator.

I think I told cmb that I used a curve perspective for this last night but I got confused with another effect somewhere.

I really need get a laser built so that I can get my shows tested and completed!

Swami recently posted that he created a monster. He's right.


Nice work! Once again I'll say that I need to dig out my dongle and play with LSX a little but, I think that will be an exercise in frustration since there is probably no way to keep up with you guys. It's a bit like playing guitar... I bought an electric guitar and amp that sits in he corner of my office and I pull it out every so often thinking I'm going to learn a little. Play the same couple of riffs I know, maybe try to follow a youtube tutorial, get frustrated and put it back in the case. I sense a parallel with LSX. Maybe I need to be content with watching everyone else's shows!

Thanks Brad - glad that you enjoyed it!

I am putting a lot of hours in but this software is addictive and great fun to play with. If you are doing beam shows you will get great results much quicker than with abstracts.

CMB's LSX tutorials are great and Swami's SELEM talk is outstanding! I might do a tutorial on how I go about my shows once I've got a little more experience and can test my effects - this will change the procedure a little.

I'm going to have a few days off now - could do with a break from the laptop

Have a play with LSX - a few hours here and few there and you'll pick it up, also pop into the chatroom - there's loads of helpful LSXers you can ask questions to if you get stumped.

Positively chilled after watching that and no smoking involved
Great work keith

[Galvonaut]

Thanks! Really glad that you enjoyed it

I've chosen my next track - 9 minutes of 'who needs mind-altering substances when this is playing anyway?'

I'm guessing this track'll take close to a month as I'm going to limit my point count to something reasonably scanable and each abstract will meld into the next.

can't wait for another journey into laserspace

Me neither - although Swamidog has banned me from doing more shows until I've built a laser to test them on.....

Time to concentrate on sourcing more stuff my build - with a little LSX thrown in for good measure :P

Galvonaut, nice work! I'm really impressed at how motivated you are and how much artwork you've created without even having a projector, thats great! So much good stuff comes from the UK, way to go.... I really like how your text syncs so well with the audio at 7:20. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
