i am making an audio visualization using jit.catch~ and 3d shapes mixed together onto a mesh... as a texture for the mesh i am using the matrixoutput of the 3d shapes, which makes some interesting feedback-type patterns. what i am wondering is what are some other ways to alter the look of the texture besides the attributes: texgen, apply, colormode, wrap... and what are some other techniques to generate interesting geometric shapes from audio?

you left out a bunch of stuff from this patch, including the render section, qmetro and so on, right?

yes i did.... here's another version with the missing parts. 

sweet, lemme have a look at that. I'm working on something that is eerily similar. Also, where did you find the draw_mode menus? Or did you do those yourself? I'm so stealing those! :)

My personal favourite to mess with matrices for jit.gl.mesh? It's kinda silly, but... jit.rota. The *madness* you can get out of running a torus through that fucker? Sheesh.

hmm. How about if you do "@matrixoutput 2" and then rotate them in relation to each other *before* jit.op'ing them together? That might yield some unexpected awesomeness?

hehe... yup. Add in my little rota suggestion and you're likely to have some really complex throbbing techno donuts going on.

fwiw this is what I did and played around with. Load the preset. These yield quite interesting 3dshapes that warrant a bit of rotation, which I see you have hard-wired to controllers, too.

hrm, unfortunately i don't have max6 yet, so i can't enjoy whatever "attrui" does.... and is "@matrixoutput 2" something new in max6???

whoops, didn't scope that - attrui is this little gizmo that lets you easily access the attributes. you can swap them out with "position $1 $2 $3" and "rotatexyz $1 $2 $3"

...uhm... yeah. matrixoutput 2 lets you do the transforms before the matrixoutput, but you can do at least "position $1 $2 $3'" with simple jit.+ as well. rotate would require a fair bit of math, I reckon?

jit.slide is good. i like how it transforms the shapes, very nice. i see what you mean about rotating the gridshapes, will give that a try.

any advice on how to change the look of the geo3 texture or generate other textures? still working towards opengl fractals, not quite there yet though.
