ATJ01 · Apr 7, 2020

The only thing I need right now is wallpaper engine version of those live wallpapers.

Tsutarja495 · Apr 7, 2020

Android 7.0 on a Galaxy S6 here. Live wallpapers work brilliantly.

I respect your choice of monitors there. good old 2008 Samsung syncmasters and a p19os or maybe an e179fpf??

I still have ancient monitors, 2 dell 2408wpf. well, one is a 2407.

ot: loving the look of the vivace, devs have done an epic job

The Piccolina one goes really well with the rest of the Italian-themed stuff around my PC

"Choice" was to pick the cheapest fairly modern monitors I could get. Left one is the one I had since new, middle one I got for like 20€ and right one I got for free.

I would not be opposed to this becoming a regular thing with updates... They look awesome.

Hello everyone,
Our next update is almost here! We wanted to share this wallpaper pack with you, and a bit of the behind-the-scenes content.

Feel free to download and showcase your awesome PC setups!!

If your smartphone supports it, you can use these clips as Home or Lockscreen wallpapers. Else you will also find still images in the pack as well

Making Of

The idea behind this came from the necessity of transmitting the modern & futuristic soul of the upcoming new car, in the video that will mark its release. Together with some new techniques and possibilities, the in-game results came out to be pretty astonishing and mesmerizing.

It all started by creating a dedicated texture in Blender:

Which is made of a few cylinders placed strategically. The material uses a ColorRamp driven by a 'Random' input, which will end up scattering the colors across the objects.

Because we need to use this texture in HDR format, it was first saved as OpenEXR, and then converted to DDS BC6H to preserve the HDR information.

The texture was then mapped to a simple cylinder mesh:

In-game, we used the Showroom level (the new version will be available in 0.19), and adding our cylinder the scene, the HDR nature of the texture soon came to life

The final scene was made by simply stacking 3 cylinders, playing with the fog values of the level and our PostFX settings (in particular the improved Depth Of Field, coming also in 0.19):

The result was spectacular for being in-game and lead to 98% of the final wallpaper.

As a bonus, we left these assets inside the Showroom folder*
When the update is out (soon), you will be able to try this by yourself, and expand this idea further to your own like

The live wallpapers dont work on my phone and I'm using a samsung galaxy s8. It says the videos are too long and need to be trimmed to at least 15 seconds long.

I got both of mine for under £120

1 was mint and i paid £40 for it including postage.

The other one i bought for £10 and £10 postage, but it did not have a stand and it had vertical lines. (common issue)

i got a new screen panel for it which cost £30 and a stand that cost £15.

they both look nice and are better for my eyes.

As said above, every phone has their own way to support Live Wallpaper (some don't at all). It's not a standard Android feature, but depends on the manufacturer implementation, which differs from brands and models.

You are free to edit the clips to meet the requirements of your phone (15 secs limit in your case)

Every phone has different support (or not at all) for Live Wallpapers.
These were tested on a Mi 9T Pro fine. Other phones may have different requirements (such as lenght limit) or other.
You can edit the clips to fit your phone's requirements.
