Getting content uploaded for my portfolio site. This video was made in September 2007. I decided to revisit the Trentemøller song I used in the original version that I made 7 months prior.

Made with Processing. Audio by Trentemøller (Miss You off the album The Last Resort).

    I remember seeing this at FITC Toronto. Stunning!

    Lovely that you've brought this back. The original version got me in to Trentemoller.

    How do you time your animations? It can't be all just triggered by the sound, can it?
  • flight404 plus 2 years ago
    Its all audio-triggered. I do some basic beat detection to try and find the major beats and use that to trigger transitions or camera position changes. It is far from perfect though. It works really well for this song, but is much more unreliable for most other songs. It helps that there are no stringed instruments or vocals.

    is it in realtime ?
    It's difficult to judge with the video compression but there's seems to got a lot of particules ( if the trail if the light points are made with particules ).
  • Dan Lidral-Porter 2 years ago
    The performance overhead incurred by saving a sketch to video precludes all but the simplest projects from running in realtime.

    Flight404's stated on his blog that because of this, when he makes a video, he usually goes for broke and turns the effects up way past what's possible in realtime.

    It's highly likely that's what he did here, judging from the sheer amount of particles, trails, and strands connecting the particles. If I'm wrong, damn am I jealous!
  • u2Bleank 2 years ago
    Thanks for the comment.

    And for your information if you don't know it have a look on this demoscene production who run in realtime ( with 1 million lighted particles ) pouet.net/prod.php?which=53950 who is the remake of a famous vimeo production :)
  • flight404 plus 2 years ago
    Dan is correct. Mostly. We are now about 2.5 years past when I made this video. There is no reason why this can't run at realtime on a modern graphics card once the proper optimizations are made. The version running on iTunes is probably 75% of the number of particles and nebula effects that are shown in this video and it maintains a decent framerate.

    And u2B, that video is great. Its a beautiful effect. The thing that makes magnetosphere different is that in my project, every single particle is exerting a force on every other particle. This reduces the maximum number of particles. The Fairlight demo you linked to, each particle is likely just responding to a single global perlin-like force. The particles don't influence each other which is why they are able to get away with so many. I haven't done any work with particles in shaders so I still wouldn't know how to get 1Mil+ particles going. thats just nuts.

    How are the nebula effects achieved?
  • subsquare 1 year ago
    Robert: you can read more about "Blunderbuss" and an extra post on the particle system alone here - Matt wrote two great pieces on that:

    I think this is the version you showed at FOTB '07?
    I, along with everyone else in the room had a 'moment'

    I want this as a visualization for winamp or media player.. is that even feasible?

    I would love to see this as one of those two.. will it ever be made into something real-time?

    What are we actually looking at here? The video is irresistibly engulfing. The animation seems to mimic space, matter and force interaction.
    Thanks, great video :)

    Hi Robert! Maybe you like this video which I just found youtube.com/watch?v=zPhuyMYy9EI which has lots of resemblance with your work.It starts at 2:09 - 3:45; and dates back from 1984!
  • flight404 plus 1 year ago
    It doesn't just resemble my work, it is my work.
