3L First impressions

I had my doubts.

The only thing worse than stupid 3d objects spinning around, is flying through a textured tunnel.

A program that is built specifically to do real-time 3d rendering would primarily generate this kind of stuff, and most of the demo videos I've seen were examples of this.

Thankfully though, after wrapping my head around the interface, I was able to come up with some interesting results with just a few minutes of setup.


Screen view, MIDI control, and a few peeks at the output

I created two default spheres, changed the draw mode, and assigned two quicktime movies to them. I connected a Behringer B-Control Fader box via MIDI, and mapped some controls to the setup.

There's still a lot for me to learn, but I'm feeling really good about this software. Seems like Artificial Eyes are pretty cool guys, and my interactions with them have been great so far.

Sorry about the cheesy trance in this clip. I was really not paying attention to what was playing, totally absorbed in the visuals.
