[MAGNIFICATION] Cells
« on: July 24, 2009 »
So here's a small entry to the magnification challenge.
What you see is a growing set of cells.
They jostle, divide and do a little bit of pogo-dancing when the beat starts.
You can also move 'em using your mouse.
This time there are no fancy shaders involved, you just need something OpenGLish capable of multi-texturing.

Sadly a lot of ideas had to be left undone as I was a bit low on time :(
Hope you have some fun with anyways.

Music, again, by Dune aka Brothomstates and one texture was done by Acryl.
Uses MiniFMOD to play XM.

How it works:
The cell structure is obtained by constructing a Voronoi diagram from a set of points.
For those interested in the technique I've attached an early version I used for debugging.
Here you can see the cell points (black; you can move them with your mouse),
the delaunay triangulation (green),
the triangles' circum-circles (red),
the voronoi-cells (blue) whose edge-points are equal with the circles' centers.

That's an awesome effect. It looks somehow simple on the
first look - but I cannot stop staring at it and taking a closer
look it gets more interesting every second somehow.

The sync'ing to the music (well chosen btw) puts an additional
Whow-FX to your production.

Thanks for entering and very good job!

I get an error message saying
"This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

I'll try it at home tonight - it may be a hardware issue.

The picture looks cool though.

I really like the way that the cells slide over each other, the movement of them is what makes this so cool to wacth :)

You probably need to install the Visual C++ Redistribution Package which contains some updated runtime-DLLs.

That's fixed it.

Very smooth, and just when I was thinking "How'd he do that?" the flashing effect started up, and then that really had me puzzled!

Great entry 8)

Lovely, especially the pulsing.  Second texture is missing on my netbook, but that's probably to be expected.
