FFT music/animation test

Postby Radiance » Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:23 pm

Hi all,

Here's an experiment i did last night :)

I made a spectral analysis using an FFT phase vocoder of some glitch music ('liccfli' by Autechre),
and wrote a little script to import it into blender IPO keys, and animated some array modifiers with it.

Very interesting effect :)
And it's completely automatic.

The video is at 50 frames per second and 20 seconds long, and rendered overnight. (1034 frames total)
rendered at about 40 seconds per frame with 1 bounce for each diffuse and glossy. (distributedpath integrator/lowdiscrepancy/hilbert)
4 samples per pixel.

Don't watch it too long as you'll get an epileptic attack or a headache :)

The effect is'nt that good as i'd require separate tracks of the different channels of the music to properly
create motion for individual 'movements' in the music...

I'll try and extend it a little and make it nicer :)

Haven't done much on the artistic side, it could use some more materials :)
I've got an early/experimental version of luxblend here which allows IPO animation of *ALL* lux float/color/config parameters :)
I'll check it in soon.
That should allow me to make it very interesting :)

Here's the mpg video (15 MB):

Even if it is generated in a very different way it remembers me Latham's Evolutionary Art: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~mas01whl/index.html

I have seen the Todd and Latham work for the first time nearly 20 years ago and it was love at the first sight, their animations are still wonderful now days after so much time.

...Is it just me or are the frames MEANT to be randomised?

I cant seem to play this properly... Even with VLC...

Looks good from what I can see though!

How do I make those animation pictures? I don't want something I have to buy though. Is there like a website where I can Make my own pictures into animation? By that I mean like flashing from picture to picture.

I like it radiance :)

I agree with Dade also, I used to hang out with a group of people in the 80's one of which was the Silicon Graphics artist in residence at the time and his work had a lot in common with this.

I hope you do more :)
