I wanted to try creating a kaleidoscope project in HD. I tried many different export settings, but wound up having to resort to H264. A bit of a gamma bomb.
I used a bunch of stuff in the stack. Kaleidescope, particles, plasma, wrapping grid, to name a few. I'm still searching for the Holy Grail of compression and codec settings. Not really enough time for me to experiment these days. I hope you like it.

I didn't expect it would be possible doing such things with Tvp.
Each one is different from the other, with various "styles".. Really good work!

Ahhh, Millbrook NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley. A truly great place to drop acid. I live 20 miles from there and see the mansion gates daily, or is it a flashback???
Your piece is inspirational, well done mandalaholic!

Well, we were all kind of in it together. He wasn't my leader or anything...just a beautiful man in our circle who had that Irish charm and so intelligent! We were all experimenting with psychedelics then.

I was part of the group that got him released from prison. Then I fear he wasted his brain on drugs. Which was really sad to me.
