how would one go about getting some more visualisations on the go?

or importing them from winamp?

or just being really awesome, forgetting about vis all together and worry about real problems like just making a nice skin that doesnt need a cool visualisation to get the girls in my bed?
(last one was a joke obviously, girls will never get in my bed lmao)

Well... skin designers have the ability to make custom visualizations for their skins...

do we?
how?

One way is to make animations based on animation types 3 thru 10, so that the animation is triggered by the various types of input, whether it's treble, bass, meter levels, etc.

You'll be able to add modify() tags to frames in the anim so elements of your skin hide and show as needed.

There are some simple tutorials in the Tips, tricks, and techniques threads...
...and the different animation types are defined in the layer reference section.

hahahahahaha so to make a vis we have to want to spend the time on it mmmmmmmmmz and to make a really good one..... that will take some ram to run... thanx for the help xonenine have u made any visualisations yet?

Most of my skins have some, feel free to browse...

Hi Vinnie84,

At the moment there are only 2 builtin code driven visualisations. In the future there will be some more code driven ones. As xonenine said you can make custom ones yourself. This is a very easy way for artists to make visualisations. They aren't as free flowing or changeable as some code driven ones but at least they can be created and some stunning results can be created very easily.

You'll find quite a few skins, including the new Xion default skin has some custom skin made visualisations.

There are transparency based animations you can try too, under Special Render in the Layer Reference..
