Wow. Take note, people. This is how you present your product. Not with pages of lame marketing copy, show it in action!

Great site! I'm using the "rainbow on black" on my secondary cinema display now. Correct resolution and everything. Thanks! :)

It's been said, but I can't help but write my own comment. Excellent execution on this project.

I'm finding the shift+mouse isn't working (using Firefox 4 beta 7 on Linux)

Great work! I was just inspired to start learning to work with canvas myself today, which will be my first graphics programming since the C64. It's pretty exciting once you start thinking about the possibilities of math applied to colors.

I can't seem to get the shift+mouse to control the wind to work using Chromium on Linux.

That looks pretty amazing. Check out Fracture - http://www.fractureme.com/ - I bet they would look unreal printed with their tech.

This is the first time I've seen a product where my first thought was, "They need to charge 5-10x more." Looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

$(function() { if ($.browser.msie) // Sorry, I tried. && $.browser.version What was the deal breaker in IE9, out of curiosity?

I would imagine excanvas would struggle with this... however.. If Yury hasn't already, definitely give it a shot with FlashCanvas: http://flashcanvas.net/ Its performance is somewhere around 33x faster than the vml-based excanvas. (Yes, 3300% better.)

I get why that would be the issue for IE <9, but the latest preview version of 9 has canvas support. Hardware accelerated, even.

I particularly like the additive mixing. Fantastic implementation.
