Looks like my awesome Winamp visualizer in real life.

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Oh yes, I remember those visualizations.

Milkdrop 2.0 was the bomb.

u/guygizmo 2d ago

I still think it's the best! Or at least the best I've seen so far. I wish people kept developing new visualizers.

u/Kakupacal 2d ago

The plug-in still works! Take a trip back in time.

u/KrivUK 2d ago

I would but I've moved on to Plexamp now.

Winamp visualizer really tells our age, huh?! After so many hours of audio streaming nowadays, I even forgot that was a thing.

I never thought to put a triangular kaleidoscope on a light stand! Awesome!!!

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Yep, and it creates amazing visuals on the ceiling in the dark.

Kaleidoscope on steroids or ?

u/Any-Main-3866 2d ago

How much time do you dedicate to each of these masterpieces?

16

u/maxtorine 2d ago

It usually varies and depends on the complexity and size of each kaleidoscope. I could spend a couple or three days working on just one custom order, like this one.

u/Italian-anonymous641 2d ago

Wow how the fuck does he do it! It's gorgeous, what do you do to build it?

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Thanks! These are made of high quality mirrors and art glass. Measuring, soldering, etc. It's quite a lengthy process. Here is a very simplified tutorial that I created due to many requests.

2

u/Italian-anonymous641 2d ago

Wow it takes a lot of patience to create such a masterpiece. Anyway, congratulations again and thanks for replying

Not a bad representation of a high dose shroom trip

u/howarewestillhere 2d ago

I really love your work. Question for you, is it possible to project what’s seen on the inside? I know your work shines when lit from the big end, but what about the small end?

1

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Thank you. I don't think it'll work the other way around, unfortunately.

2

u/General-Tap-5070 2d ago

Im getting one now!!

u/FrozenChaii 2d ago

3

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Still available in the shop 😊

7

u/Sjoensmoem 2d ago

A little too pricey for me right now, but I'll remember this for later. I really love your work!

1

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Thank you so much! And I love creating them!

u/BillybabaRRC 2d ago

Thank you, I think my wife would love one of these. Is the one that's on this post the lavender dream?

3

u/maxtorine 2d ago

Yes, it is. But unfortunately it's been sold. More to come in the coming weeks or you can just place a custom order.
Edit: there is a larger version of Lavender Dream available.
