Cool

Decided to wait until I was home rather than from work (saves some problems

)

Congrats to all those involved, but I still owe Jeff a fiver from Llamatron. Hopefully I can get to repay it one of these days...

Erm, not wanting to poke to much here, but if Jeff was to okay this, I'd dearly love to see this footage from RV

Please, pretty pretty please

One (of many) things that has impressed me about the Neon footage is how relatively restrained it all is. Much as Tina has been impressed with VLM 3 - 3.5, she has often found the full-on and strobing nature of it particularly hard to take for any length of time, whereas she has nothing but praise for the Neon footage. As a passive observer, rather than a 'pilot', that makes a huge difference to your enjoyment of it. Obviously when you're flying it, then you don't notice how overwhelmingly eyeball searing it can be (at least with VLM 3 - 3.5).

Also watched it alongside some old VLM 3.5 footage....

The difference is an order of magnitude, easily as great as the leap from Jag VLM to Nuon to Unity. Thank goat it's launching in Winter. Definitely don't want any of that pesky daylight creeping in and ruining my launch day inaugural flight.

Have you seen RiK's Distraction movie? I think it's the slickest footage so far, it's subtle and doesn't feel overwhelmingly psychedelic. The bit at the end that looks like a melty 3D waveform is incredible, it's fluid and well defined without pummeling you too heavily, but still looks very Llamasoft. Compared to the other footage RiK's is like a "come down" session, it's a good contrast and shows how versatile and varied the FX are.

I *love* the trippy psyche stuff, but it's nice to know that you'll be able to nod off to it as well

I have just watched the large movie and I must say that like many other people here, I think that it looks absolutely fantastic, mesmeric in fact. I can only imagine what it must look like with a huge screen in a dark room with some quality tunes. I can see myself bringing forward my purchase of a large screen TV for this alone.

My respect goes out to Jeff, Giles and all others involved for managing to create something of such beauty. A rare commodity indeed. Apart from the obvious technical coding achievement, the thing that impresses me most is the imagination that was needed to create this. I just wish I was able to create something like this.

I can imagine what it must feel like to know that something this beautiful that you have created, will be enjoyed by millions of people all over the planet.

As I mentioned above, you have my respect for this creation, and in advance, my thanks.

Christmas is going to be extra fine this year I think!

I'd love to hear how they responded to that show. I'm assuming that to many of them the concept of performance light synth must have been completely new?

We responded perfectly - there was at least one person in the crowd (me!) who bought Trip-a-Tron.. and who remembers it with great affection.

Yak - if you're ever in Mil-D again, post something up here - I'd love to say hello!
