I was checking out Vortex, its impressive, but a shame not so much activity for new vis. I was thinking some kind of simulator to develop these in windows would be great and might encourage more activity.

Hi
I am glad you like it. If I get time I may convert Vortex to OpenGL to allow it to run on Linux. If I do that it shouldn't be much more work to convert it to work as a simulator in Windows as you suggest. Don't let the lack of a simulator stop you from trying to create your own presets though. It should be easier with the new version I am working on as any compilation errors will be displayed on screen rather than through the debug output as it currently is.

From the posts above am I correct in assuming this is an Xbox only feature?
If so then I second porting it to Open GL. It sounds groovy. Any cahnce of some screenshots for us non-Xboxers?

after switching from xbox to linux there is only one thing i realy miss:
the vortex vis. the album-art feature brings so much more to the skin. the other vis look like "another visulation". vortex looks like a skin feature. well, maybe it will be ported in the feature. i would even pay for it. http://www.xbmcnerds.com - german xbmc community |

DirectX SVN's are getting to be pretty solid, so I imagine Vortex would run fine on those
