So I'm doing the visuals for a festival this weekend (Panonica Open Air Fest), and I am using one of my latest Magic projects. I uploaded a 30 minute preview to show the organizers the basic look and I thought I would share here. It's 100% magic, with the only external plugins being edge detection and a terrain generator.

Nice! It's really polished.
I appreciate the subtle variations on the theme. At one point I got a real "2001: A Space Odyssey" vibe. Like a cloud of Monoliths.
I patched a 2001 Slit-Scan magic together a while back you might enjoy. It's well annotated, and only relies on a few additional shaders:
It allows you to create the kind of trippy perspective slit-scan effects from the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" sequence from the end of the film.
The MMV file has a debug interface you can toggle to show where the top and the bottom of the screen's slit-scan apertures are sampling the data from the input. (Currently set up with a GLSL Shader that comes with MMV: "pattern3.txt").
That's cool! I'm a big fan of the animation in 2001.

Debug HUD is a little clunky because values have to be updated in two places, but I'm looking forward to the upcoming global variables, which will fix that issue handily.

Update: I grabbed a couple photos from the fest. I ended up rendering the background visuals out as movie clips and just loaded them straight into Resolume. Then I left all the foreground elements in Magic so I could trigger them live. Then, back in Resolume, I put a ton of different effects on the spout layer that could be triggered via piano mode, and used that to add energy and randomness to the visuals.

Artnik: I love to use slitscan effects, I think the look is sooo good. Thanks for posting that magic file,
