Artful Websites

art, by gum
Much of the art and games on this website was originally gleaned from the SubGenius binaries newsgroup, alt.binaries.slack, where crazed sleepless SubGenii post their nasty experimentation. Not for the faint of heart. We hear alt.binaries.tasteless is even better.

http://www.csusm.edu/public/guests/fm :
The Superunknown, a site covering much of the art, music and code of the PC demoscene. This community is international: it incorporates realtime, mostly-undocumented programming effects and modes with digital music and artwork...In short, everything you get on your screen is coming directly from the processor, not from an animation file-That makes these "demos" much faster and much more disturbing. Small wonder that half of the software industry wants to suppress these nuts while the other half tries to ignore them. The site itself-This site in particular, anyway-is well-designed and HUGE. It also covers some older ANSI and ASCII scene art.
You might want to use Netscape 2.0 beta to get the full effect(Multiple frames are used on the site).

SURPRISINGLY SLACKFUL "VIRTUAL REALITY" "3-D" GIMMICKRY FROM GIGANTIC PINK CORPORATIONS and a few weirdo loners

And these bizarre little things work TOO! Well, it's not like you can "fly" through a real-time 3-D animated world. It's more like you stand in one place and look at a WEIRDLY DISPLAYED 3-D-ish place by swiveling all around, looking up and down, "zooming" in and out, etc. The samples I downloaded included photographed real places, nature spots mainly, as well as entirely virtual fantasy landscapes and building interiors. You get a 360 degree view plus some up and down. It's not MERELY like you're seeing a 360 degree photo that's wrapped in a circle around you facing inwards. It's more 3-D-like than that, and it's RASTERY in the TRIPPIEST WAY!! The scene is very wide-angle-distorted (if you want it to be) and imbued with rich uber-colors, so it's reminiscent of that time you did the mescaline AND the speed and were REALLY sorry, but for awhile everything did sorta look like an album cover.

It runs on a 5-megs-a-ram Performa but not on my old early Mac LC model. KICKS EYEBALL on the Power Mac.

Would somebody like to render the virtual Dobbstown in KPT BRYCE?

Here are some web sites for more advanced forms of Web VR (they don't have Mac players yet):

This section of Rev. Camangin's new web site has a convenient collection of VR oriented links:

Fractal Pictures and Animations: http://www.cnam.fr/fractals.html
They have fractal movies too, if you don't mind downloading gig-sized files.

"An attempt to create a 3-D virtual world for people to wander around in and annoy one another. It has "avatars", meaning you get to pick and choose your "appearance" from a collection of images."

All this cool cheezy gimmickry is changing by the DAY so by the time you read this, you may be chuckling that poor old Stang doesn't even know about the 3D color hologram movies in scent-o-vision that come OUT of the screen, mix drinks for you, and clean up the room.

The VMPEG1.7 viewer, which combines .wav sound & MPEG video, and thus is good for playing the SubGenius videos on this website, is downloadable at:
ftp://ftp.netcom.com:/pub/cf/cfogg/vmpeg/vmpeg17a.zip
The older version 1.6 viewer did not provide INSTANT multimediafaction. On fast machines (Pentiums or so), there's an easy way to fix lip-sync: just turn OFF the synch feature and play video at a flat 30 fps... apparently the video actually gets slowed down more when it's in synch mode, and so it falls behind.
