Morphyre

Morphyre is a Music visualization released in September 2009. It was created by Gordon Williams who is the main creator of the R4 Visualization system, and John Baker, who worked on scenes in the MilkDrop visuals as well as contributing to R4. Morphyre is an Open GL visualizer which combines conventional visualization techniques (like the flow maps in Milkdrop) with Three Dimensional foregrounds. By combining selected colour schemes, 3D foregrounds and a variety of responsive backgrounds it creates several thousand unique scenes which all move with beat recognition technology. Morphyre runs as a plugin on Mac and Windows: as a Windows Media Player Visualization, a Winamp Visualization and an iTunes Visualizer. Morphyre can be downloaded free or purchased in a Personal version, and there is also a professional version due which will include stereoscopic output to enable the use of 3D glasses. At the time of writing Morphyre has been released for two months and has had 23,000 downloads. Morphyre Engine The Morphyre Visualizer is based upon the Morphyre Engine, which is designed to be a flexible, multi-platform base for creating visualizers. Unlike most visualization systems, the Morphyre Engine itself does not contain the code needed to draw the complex 3D shapes contained in its scenes. Instead, each scene is stored on disk as compiled code for a 32-bit Virtual Machine, which allows the same scene file to be executed on multiple platforms and architectures. The Morphyre Engine's Virtual Machine is designed specifically to be fast at producing 3D graphics, with special operations for Matrix and Vector arithmetic. For rendering, it provides an abstraction layer that provides subset of OpenGL functionality, which allows for future porting of the engine to DirectX and GLES. The Morphyre Engine also contains TinyJS, a very small (<2000 line) Open Source JavaScript interpreter, which it uses to control the user interface and randomly choose scenes to change to.
