Squid Suckers, winner of Honorable Mention in the 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Awards. Loligo pealei squids have eight arms and two tentacles, all of which are coated with suction-cups, lined with fangs composed of chitin. These tiny suckers, whose diameters are around 400 microns, ultimately allow the half-meter-long squid to get a solid grip on its environment. (Courtesy of Jessica D. Schiffman and Caroline L.

It’s been a while in the making, but here it comes: Resolume 3.

This version is a major step-up from the version 2 and it’s cross-platform. That’s right: you can now use it on your Mac. Interface got a complete redo, it looks fantastic compared to the previous version and finally looks like a real competitor to the Modul8. Can’t wait to play a bit with this one.

Here’s a brief introduction:

UPDATE: I installed it on my laptop (pretty old 1.6GHz HP) and it didn’t work as it requires a bit more than an integrated video card. They recomend MacBook Pro. So long Resolume, for now.
