Kartoffel@ maybe you could change the background depending on the genre of the music?
F.e. if you listen to trance music, make some space or starfield at the background, so it will looks like you are moving throw it?

@Kartoffel: what I always expect from a music player is to have an option to display a simple frequency curve or frequency values corresponding to a parametric equalizer sliders, if you have this feature... but it is rather a musician habit... if something sounds strange I can see whether the quality is wrong or the actual song

these pics are specially for 3run (I have to maximize fps to 40 because of my crashing ATI card):

sivan@ Thank you man, you screens made me speechless, this is just a pure awesomeness
One question about the lightning, does it use perpixel computation (for all models + level blocks)?

Sivan, looking at your last screenshot and your new a8 pro, the very first thing you should do, is to switch to skeletal animations with Gpu skinning, as that's gonna be a lot faster.

@3run: yes, I found a little snippet that apparently sets fine per pixel dynamic lights, but shadows respond only to Sun. moreover I swithed to shader model 3.0 to enable supporting more lights than before. soon ready to publish.

@Slin: yes, this is why I mainly expect to get my pro key , and terrain lod.

Edit: and thanks for an earlier suggestion to check exponential shadowmapping!

improved the look and added support for windows-media-player playlists (some of them don't work because there are characters in the song title which 3DGS can't handle -.-)

You welcome.

By the way, I'm digging the gradient a lot.

Indeed, looks pretty cool!

@Kartoffel That looks amazing! But I'm willing to bet that it is that much more impressive in motion.
