About Relaxabit ------------------------------ The idea behind this app started about one year ago when real Lava-Lamps got more popular in my country (again) They do not only look nice, but can have a very healing effect to your mind. I wanted both, to create a visually appealing app and to capture this healing effect. I was quickly surprised how complex this "simple" thing turned out. It needs a physical simulation of both liquid and temperature in 3D, together with some mesh-generation-process and rendering, in realtime, or at least very fast. Usage ------------------------------ - -use the Play button the start/stop the simulation -tap at the display to rotate, move and zoom the scene -there is one special "empty" lamp-type which only shows the lava-simulation -use the Randomize-button to randomize lamp-, lava- and light-parameters -use the sections at the bottom to fine-tune settings -use the Reset-button to reset simulation-settings and render-settings to their defaults Pro Mode ------------------------------ I optimized the hell out of it :-), but still it is a very computation-heavy app. Therefore you may test the app completely before buying it. I think it will not work well on every supported device (but will not harm it in any way). So, just give it a try, it is free to test, and does not have any ads. In order to really enjoy the app and get permanent access to all features, you may purchase pro-mode in the App Store. For one purchase you will get the following: 1. access to simulation-settings like speed and resolution 2. material-settings of both the lava-lamp and the lava itself 3. light-settings 4. AR mode Sky-Boxes ------------------------------ The awesome sky-boxes, used inside this app, where all created by Emil Persson, aka Humus, and are distributed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
