New Compiz Fusion effect: Cylinder
dev.compiz-fusion.org — After a lot of preparations in the last weeks, that resulted also in the “curve” expo mode, I’ve finally finished my idea to implement a cylinder deformation for the cube plugin. The code is in the cubeaddon plugin, that is the cubereflex plugin with this new feature.

Nice idea. I like this look.
-
If this hits front page you might lose the image shack link, but nice plugin
-
Bring it on!
-
That's pretty awesome!
Let me know when sphere is the oven -
Is there any source for cubeaddon?
-
Cool looking, but a cube makes more sense.
-
Pretty cool. I would have preferred no tilting angle, but nice work.
-
The reflections are all wrong....
-
It's cool, but useless...
-
Here is a video of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
-
where's the video!? seriously, when a video is supplied i will digg.
-
CubeDesktop had that function already.
Though it isn't as customizable as Compiz Fusion, it's for Windows, so bear with it. -
modded ubuntu
-
Compiz is still useless eye candy bloat.

If the exact same video had been posted, except it was a new feature of Mac OS X, we'd already have a Mac vs. PC/Linux flame war. I predict that every post below this one will be as such.
-
If people really want to push Linux into the mainstream compiz is exactly the thing you need to boast about. Looks and eyecandy is the most important thing when it comes to attracting an average person who uses a computer. Many of the people in my life love macs simply because they're cute and look nice.

where's my torus!!! or better yet! a Rhombicosidodecahedron effect (you know....for the serious multitasker)
-
I'm curious, what's so special about this? I mean, isn't this what it's supposed to do, and it's been doing things like this for years now? Not trying to flame the accomplishment, but just saying this is like Apache coming out and saying "Look, we can host blogs!"
-
git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/fusion/plugins/cubeaddon
Must have the latest git version of Compiz Fusion.

It's all a bit gimmicky, I got cubedesktop that you got to pay for, and I really only play with it for the ***** of it. looks nice though.
-
I agree. I keep a seprate hard drive full of "nix tricks" just to show people what is possible. I've made a few duel booters this way.
Like it or not there is strength in numbers. And pretty shiny things get the heathens attention. -
I remember when Apple got clowned when they reveled Aqua to the world. That it was nothing but iCandy. The slashdot crowd were merciless. Man how things have change.
-
neat!

i can't figure out how to get the regular cube effect.. is it a key combination or what?
-
who uses this honestly?
-
WOW, am I the ONLY one who notices that this a not a cylinder, but a conical section? I'll bet you can't even tell a dual polyhedron from a rhombic dodecahedron.
-
pity this won't be available in Ubuntu
-
but.... why???
-
Aliasing artifacts FTW!
-
what IDE is that? (the one with blue background..)
-
I use two monitors. I want physics based windows. I want to throw un-needed windows from one monitor to the next. Someone in compiz make this!
You don't need real physics just a gradient slow down. Also the wobbly windows effect implements certain mesh physics to some extent already. -
Finally my computer willl behave like my real desk; A swiss workout ball to which I tape papers and roll around the room to share my work with others.
-
Nice. That is really nice.
-
uhh that's not a cylinder but part of a cone
-
Blogspam. Gay.
-
what? I don't care. How is this better than the cube? It's certainly not news.
