The Jagu-Dome Virtual Light Machine Page
The Virtual Light Machine is a mighty cool feature that's built into the Jaguar CD hardware. It displays warping, flashing, melting, shattering..etc. colors as your music CD is played through the unit. The effect is truly stunning! I often find myself playing with this more than my games!
The program is mainly partical and polygon based. Texture maps can be found as well as awesome wave surface objects that flow in a seamless sychronization. 65,000 colors to light up the room. You've even got the strobe light button. Almost half of the 81 effects are user controllable! There is even a hidden code that allows you to your own effects! There are almost infinite variations!
Special thanks goes out to Jeff Minter and all the others who've helped out on this project.....It's truly awesome!
