Audio Visual Experiments

Hello everyone

So I made a prototype particle visualizer the other day and posted in in the Showcase forums :

but now I felt inspired to explore more with this concept so I’m starting a new thread here to post about ongoing experiments, speaking of which, I have something new to share :

I created a prototype of a biped spectral dancer where bones are been driven purely by code. It’s very rudimentary at the moment but I would like to see how it develops over time. I cant work on it full time but I will get stuff done in between client work when I can.

I am using the particle visualizer behind the character in this demo and took a few screen shots :

This is fantastic!!! Can you make a version with Jennifer Beals now? :smile:

Hahaha :roll_eyes: how about I update the track to “what a feeling” , slap some 80’s leg warmers on this dude and you can stretch your imagination for the rest lol

That is definitely enough for me!!!
EDIT: P.S: please do it for real do it for real!!! :smile:

80’s leg warmers … and a borat swimming costume :hushed:

That is the best thing ever made by a human being and you are a wonderful person

ok as per the twitter request I give you FOOT LOOSE :

I took a different approach to creating and setting the bone Influencers this time round. I generated a random set of 10 influencers per bone to start with low values and then did the manual changes with increased values and offsets to generate a few less random maneuvers in there. So there is 10 times more movement happening than previously on the other characters/songs.

This guy can move!!! haha

That pure glittery fanastic-ness and I bow to you in gratefulness (while my stepson ridicules me because he doesn’t appreciate A HERO NAMED KEVIN BACON!)! Also, it’s pretty cool that some of those moves are actually Footloose moves! The Bacon-ness conquers everything :smile:

“SHOW ME THE BACON”

Ohmygod it even looks and sings like The Bacon! Plus other additional Lion King’s based jokes that I had to look on the internet for because I never saw the movie :smile: That is fantasticalicious! And pretty cool how you managed to go from biped to quadruped \o/
