MilkDrop 2

The 2007 update is called "MilkDrop 2" but is the same program. All MilkDrop 1 presets are compatible with MilkDrop 2. However, many new features were added. Foremost, the addition of pixel shaders allows dozens, even hundreds of complex instructions to be executed for every pixel on the screen, every frame. Other new features include jpg textures, gaussian blurring, a preset "mash-up" feature, and (finally) a prest "back" button. MilkDrop 2 works with any graphics processor, but to enable all of the cool effects, you need a GPU that can run Shader Model 3 or greater and requires DirectX.
