Visualizations 5: Sparkle and Panorama

4/22/2006

I recently discussed one of the visualizations in the Visualizations 5 ProModule here. I would like to now mention the other two: Sparkle and Panorama.

 

Sparkle is mostly transparent but renders little sparkles glowing over the underlying background. It’s almost more like an effect than a visualization. Placing the Sparkle visualization over select background images can create an interesting visual effect.

 

Panorama provides a looping panoramic image.This is similar to a looping video except that it rotates 360°. Unlike a simple video file, however, you can also raise and lower the vertical view of the landscape. Visualization 5 comes with just one panorama file, although the panorama files included with Visualization 4 can also be used. A panorama builder is in the works.
