3D Caviar
3D Fish that lay eggs and a cool Dynamic Movement in the background

If you like this, then you may like the very last version of my 3D XWing that has a similar Dynamic Movement

The Dynamic Movement has a bit of feed back that adds little effects in the background (so much time adjusting brightness to get this perfect)

The colours of the background are determined by the values in the Super Scope, and frozen between sets of beats (because it looks good when static as well as dynamic)

Thats pretty cool... a bit ugly though.. maybe you could stop the texture from filling up so heavily from time to time.

Darker Caviar
Well, feedback was what I wanted
But I can see what you mean about too much

Here is a darker version, with less feedback

I view this at about 15FPS
I Imagine that any faster and its behaviour may change

looks little ugly but its nice, but the 3d work is really good ;) keep it up

btw, you should optimize your code to gain more speed...

You are really good at 3D scoping, now once you need to work on asthetics a little bit though, the fish look superb, but the background is completly horendous. I don't like the colors it has, it isn't very dynamic (constantly goes through the same routine), and I also don't like the shape it has. But let me congragulate you again on some more great scoping.

Thanks for all of the feedback!

I really wanted to create small eddie like feedback loops and still look slick

I think I'll progress the idea

BTW in another post, X-Wing and Tie Fighters, I posted a DM that nobody looked at :(

It defintately had cool eddies - although not optimised at all

I shall conquer the eddie!

I agree with all comments :p The scoping is great, keep it up!. But I don't really like the background, you should work on that stuff.

yeah, i agree with everybody here, the background does kinda look ugly.:rolleyes:
try focusing on aesthetics 3d scoping is'nt everything:p:)
