hi

i was just sorting out some of the vastness of junk that accumulates on my
system and i ran across these knob animations. i made them a while
ago but never did anything with them.

i called it a dot knob because rather than displaying some sort of
radial meter (in addition to the position indicator), the value is
indicated by the intensity of a dot in the center. 
there are two variations, the first uses colour intensity, the second
spectral intensity.

it's very small, which can be useful. it also gives a very good instant
impression of the overall state of the controls. i'm not entirely convinced
that it's practical to use though.

still, you can find them here:

i setup phasex to use them and shot down some screens:

i haven't got any idea what kind of licence is appropriate for
3d source files or the resultant animations, at least not with
regard to how they interact with software licences, so they are
public domain.

cheers,
pete.
