Winamp visual plug-in : Mirage 1.01 (285 KB)

Performance tips

Mirage has been designed to produce smooth animation at 30 frames per second. The framerate limiter allows constant framerate throughout the visualization, while releasing CPU time on faster machines to allow effective multitasking. You can adjust the desired framerate in the configuration dialog.

If framerate is too low, try reducing mesh resolution (config dialog). Reducing texture resolution will result in a big visual quality loss. This is a kind of last chance setting if you really can't get smooth animation.

Compatibility mode is a special path that uses plain OpenGL 1.1. It should run flawlessly on virtually any machine, even though it is slower than the normal mode. Use it only if you experience visual bugs (but don't forget to update your video drivers too).
