My third pack - Thermal
Done for quite some time now, and submitted it to winamp.com about 1.5 month ago, though it's still not there :mad:. So here you go, my newest pack :D. Let me know what you think.

And ffs, don't ignore this post for a change ;)

OK, here goes:

After the last preset, I really had the feeling of "Ahh, is it over already?!?" and that is a good thing
A good mix between object-based and movement based presets.

Review
(Since you're Dutch, I'll give you extra points, 'kay? ;) )

-Intro
The name-in-a-rotating-circle has been done before, but there's more.
The flames around look pretty good. 3/5
-Data Traffic
A rotating computerized.. digital.. errrm.. thingey.
The background filling lines keep you wondering if the're in 3D, and that's neccessary(sp), because the preset would be kinda repetative if they weren't. 3/5
-Blue Orb
I didn't know that a tunnel could be done so easily, might try it out some day ;) 3.5/5
-Planet X molecules
lol@ the story...
These presets have been done many times, but an explosion occurs every time two dots collide, right? 2.75/5
-Mystique
Here's something I really like, a bit too bright for my taste, though. 4/5
-Play the guitar
I'd wish to see if his fingers match the music that's played... 3.5/5
-Smurry
Somehow this reminds me of my nostrals(sp) when I had a flu a few weeks ago... Smooth colors 4/5
-Mondriaan on drugs
Perhaps this is what his last (unfinished) painting was going to look like... 3.75/5
-Probing
A nice tentacle-type preset. perhaps you should let the rings start a bit further off the viewpoint, they seem to invert. 3.5/5
-Emanio
I could watch this for a long time, it's great! 4.5/5
-Pulse
Smooth, I love it 4.25/5
-Winternight Snowballs
I've seen this before, but a bit different (morphing and stuff), just don't know where. Won't rate it until i know more. :igor:
-Tartarus's precision
The grain filter is really coming to it's right here. Fire is realistic too 4.5/5
-Outro & credits
I always thought that this should be the last preset in a pack... I love the colorful text, although I hardly can't read it, a border or so should fix this. 3.75/5
-Planet X molecuses Gaekwad2 remix
Shinier, but often overbrightend, but then, what do I know since I've never been there ;).

My overall rating: 3.8/5

[edit]
Yeah, I was first to download, first to comment and first to rate the new Deamon pack :D

not planning to submit this on devart then?

Maybe I will, I don't have a DevArt account. I guess I can make one :).

They aren't ;)

[edit]
Something like this? :D (see sig) My first AVS pack is in there as well, which is never published on winamp, though don't expect too much from it ;).

Nice pack! Pulse is awesome! Make more like this.

I'd always highly recommend submitting to DA before finally releasing on winamp.com. This way, you get some really good comments on how to improve your pack before the huge release.

I guess you're making even better presets :p
