You've got me schitzophrenic about your pack... I really like a lot of things, and I really dislike a lot of things. It's 5-star soup with a fly in it.


Intro: great idea, great execution... good way to open!

Fighting the infection: awesome colorscheme and looks, the glow is super. However the movement has this bouncy thing to it which I don't like at all.

Graph paper: the overal geometry is okay, but that dirty brown background kind of spoils it for me.

Jeweled Chessboard: stylish and simple, not much to say

Writhing in pleasure: cool flowy preset with superb colors. the original scope shape is almost invisible and that's a good thing I think

Helix: I think it was a mistake to turn down the glow effect from the start, cos it looks much better even at 55-60% (the beams are noticable then). The simple scope shape looks wonderful, and you would have a winner on your hands if you had just tweaked it some more... The helix rolls relative to one of the edges, rather than the center. If you use "(nn-.5)*4.5*..." instead of "nn*4.5*...", I think this looks much nicer due to the symmetry. You'd have to add some onsound/onbeat rotating around the axis to still get that nice effect when the edge passes the camera quickly though.

Forces of coherence: the diagonal grid is kind of neat, but the colors are a bit oompf. This would be better if you hadn't use mosaic effects so much elsewhere IMO.

Source of power: the little scope objects is sweet, but that onbeat extending followed by constant inward zooming really ticks me off. It's really annoying in a way. It should zoom out, stick at that distance, zoom in again, stick at that distance, etc. Would be much better, now you just get a glimpse of another situation, and then it falls back again.

Architectural design: well, there's not much to say other than: you rule . The interface could've used a couple of tweaks though. A button to switch between freehand drawing (click and drag, as it now) and line segment drawing (click for starting point, click for ending point) would be handy. Showing more than just the current and lower level would also be handy.
Best interactive preset by a long shot.

Other presets don't float my boat at all.

As far as the remixes go, I didn't like any of them very much. I think you should've just stuck to the regular method of just letting remixers have all the freedom they want rather than forcing certain rules. Especially cos I really don't like that ribbon + cube preset and it's repeated a lot.

Still a +fav cos of the few jewels in there, but I think you should've evaluated your own pack better before releasing.

I loved your first pack, and this one's even better.
Very original presets,( especially Architectural Design : one hell of a code you've done there -) )and i love your flows too.
The FPS is a little low sometimes, but i think i shouldn't be the one to complain about that.
One of the most creative packs i've ever seen.
of course

woaw, this is a great pack, the intro is by far the greatest avs intro i've seen and then we had a lot of great presets and also some great interactivity, too much mosaics for my taste but still architectural design makes up for everything, good job

Really outstanding job, most of the presets were awesome, the interactivity is simply superior. The possibility to make a personal appartment house in AVS is a really great idea and also a good way to do it. This quaility throughout the pack sets a standard many of us should follow.

What a great pack. Lots of lovely presets. Love all the interactive elements, like the different styles and whatnot. I had a lot of fun with the Architectural Design, hell of a system you had working there. Some presets were a bit slow with the FPS, but considering how good they look, I'll let it slide. Phenominal work!
