Sleep Audio

Saturday, November 17th, 2007

Last week I started another project on SourceForge. It is called Sleep Audio. It is a Java software that will generate environmental audio, mainly suited to play during sleep or relaxation.

I discovered environmental music while studying CSound, a high-quality audio generator. Later, I discovered Sleepbot Environmental Broadcast, an mp3 web radio that streams this kind of music.

I was already writing 15min+ progressive rock pieces that some thought as too long, what will they think when I will be able to generate 10hours+ consistent pieces…

Java Sculpt r59 featuring POVRay viewport integration

My Open Source project JSculpt now features a full POVRay integration.

It uses the raytracing engine to render full quality views of the scene in real-time. I still have to work a bit on this integration which is still a bit raw. I will add a complete settings panel allowing users to customize renderings according to their specific needs, especially anti-aliasing and global lighting settings. A better thread-locking system will also be required for more cpu-intensive renders.
