1st preset
Hey guys!.
This is my 1st preset.
Basically i know neither head or tail of how 2 make a superscope.this is the best i could manage.Pls post ur opinions.:)

ok.my 1st one was very bad.
but i have still not given up.
i believe this one is better.
hope all of you agree!

Not bad for first presets. Try to learn what the code does in default code, but don't use it in finished presets. It's meant as a beginners guide. It's better than a lot of first presets i've seen though, keep at it.

thanks.i've been through most of the threads that explain coding,but most of the stuff bounced right over my head.i know basics of trigonometry,though.
wish i could get some more help.:hang:

Just don't expect to know it all straight away. Work at your own pace and just keep making stuff as you go.

Thanks.
Raz you said that i should not use default codes in my presets.would it be fine if i use the render/simple option?
i have tried it and i think it looks ok

See, one of the main problems we AVSers have with the built in effects is that theu are not very configurable and are the staple of everybody's first presets, 'cause they don't know better. Now while it may be possible to make "cool" looking things with the built in things, all the effects made by them can be reproduced using things like the superscope and the dynamic movmement, once you learn how to code.

Another thing;
whenever my preset uses too many effects,it tends to become really slow and looks pretty clumsy.
What can one do to make them faster?

make sure you only have what you actually need in your presets, i know it sounds a little silly, but thats sometimes the case with slow presets. Just see how many things you can delete before it stops looking like it should. Also, coded effects are much faster than pre-built effects and offer much more flexibility, so learn to code, it's not that hard once you know what everything does, just experiment!

Someone please have a look at this one.
i can't control it's speed of rotation

Do you want to slow it down, speed it up, change directions on beat, all of the above ? Be more specific on how you want to control it.
The main variable that is controlling your rotation is 'dr' in the trans / dynamic movement. The rotation comes from the fact that you are adding +0.002 to 'dr' every frame.
If you just want to slow it down, in the Pixel text box replace the code with:

Per Pixel:
d=cos(d/pow(dr, 2)) ; r=abs(r - 0.5*dr);

Per Beat:
dr = dr - 0.8

Per Frame:
dr = dr + 0.02

Thanks.
I used the stuff in these. hope they're ok.
Can't bet on what those things are first 15 seconds or so:) .

while the interactive superscope was slightly interesting it doesn't make up for the lack of creativity. try doing a little more experimenting

anyone else?

I'm so selfish sorry the 1st one is better than the other... but i #1... it's good :D:P i like what you've done with ddm [its getting ancient though] im looking for new renders [anyone anyone at all?!] lol yeah good preset work more on something else thats complete...! :D

Ah!
my pestering friend here has inspired me into trying this interactive preset.
What do you think?:D

Sh*t.I knew I'd forgotten something,darn it!

although i've done this, good effort... needs something to tell you that it wants to be touched, it blanks out "wtf?", look @ code... [ put something in plz?]

Big thanks to pak-9 for the avs programming guide. I could say that i didn't know most of the stuff.
