    Combine the power of DeadMau5 + some maths and get something pretty beautiful I think :)

    Anyway here's my latest visualizer , description pulled from youtube vid:
    (Recommend you watch in 720p or the quiet parts aren't quite as noticable)

    The lorenz attractor is in my opinion one of mathematics most beautiful algorithms. Its derived from equations defining convection rolls in an atmosphere and is used in climate studies and weather prediction. However, in my case I am adjusting the rayleigh value based on spectrum data output in unity and it creates some wonderful shapes. I love the fact the structure looks so unstable and volatile, like its battling with itself to stay cohesive, and never quite breaks. Music is Deadmau5 - Raise your Weapon

    Nice work. I found this because I was reading some 1980's book about chaos (it was called "CHAOS"), and wanted a visualizer for strange attractors. I found this, and decided to finally get around to getting Unity (I'm a casual developer), so, thanks! Also, Deadmau5 == excellent choice.
    So... Are you willing to/planning on sharing the source files?

    How can this be realized? Any hints welcome. I'm very new into coding. :)

    Very entrancing! I couldn't take my eyes off it the entire time. I'd absolutely love to see this used in some sort of rhythm game.

    Awesome Quickfingers, I always love your stuff!

    Can you put up a video of your visualizer put to Massive Attacks "Angel"? I think that's one of the most intense "trying to break free" songs, ever.
