Woke up early this morning and for some reason went back to the visualisations that I did months ago, and tried to make it run again (lots of classes missing in action).

The original idea was to link it to an online radio I usually listen to, but the stream that I had didn't work any more, so I changed the plans and while using a super track done by Gloom and Flipside I just played with some stuff I had in mind.



First thing is the camera. In this test I'm using Tweener for generating the random camera path for the camera and the target. _bezier property is all you need, and the whole snippet for the camera is about 7 lines of code. This means that the piece isn't interactive this time, but is still hipotising ;)



Second thing is the cheap glow trick. That also something I had in mind that Ralph confirmed in one of his latests test. The trick consists on drawing the rendered scene into a very tiny bitmap and then rescaling it to fit the screen, if you don't put the smooth on it, it will also look nice as you will have pixellation for free, but for this effect looked nicer with the smooth.

If this sounds confusing, wait for this afternoon, as I should be updating this post with the .fla (gotta fix some issues when resizing the window, and hopefully making it run faster).

Enjoy!

PS: Core2duo+ recommended, and if you have Internet Explorer, try watching it with it, as the flash plugin goes much faster there.
