johnl3d Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 My brother dropped off the two DVD's of Animusic..(check google video's if you are not familiar). Anyway after watchin them for awhile I thought a version of this could be done with AM to some degree if we set up an instrument to act the same way a character is set up to talk and use a dope sheet to play the notes. This was just an idea and I threw this slient idea using just simple on-off poses (no dope sheet) to demo how a very simple version might animate simple [attachmentid=21652] John PS went to my 40th high school reunion yesterday evening ...had trouble figuring out who all the old people were that showed up simple.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 A stroke of genius! Now that is a super, duper, great idea! Bravo John! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Love it..Most excellent, Your Royal Oldness! (I guess you're lucky you even found the reunion. Did they think you were one of the teachers?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendytoons Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 with the midi controller in this thread you could do what the Animusic people did and have the same midi sequence drive both music and animation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve392 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 John ,could you use Amplitude with that? just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuboos Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i cant get it to play any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 amplitude might work to some extend but not the control to really get the effect...I have posted some amplitudes examples before...what I am thinking is typing in a series of "words" that would correspond on what part of the instrument was striking its sound in a song ..this in a dope sheet like you would have mouth movement for voice sync Not sure why you can't play it since its just sorenson3 qt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrury Sanson Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I did a project like that. Used the midi-motion plugin. It's a piano playing Fur Elise. Took maybe 2 weeks to model, animate, light, and finish. The hardest part was finding a GOOD midi to wav converter as AM doesn't allow midis in the chor and the plug-in needs a .mid >_> I can render a smaller version if you would like a look.

Caroline Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks, John - coincidentally I had just finished my Flower for TAOA:M Exercise 9, and I was looking at the petals thinking Wouldn't it be neat to press a petal and play a note. Then you pointed out that I could use a Dope Sheet. I used 2 dope sheets, one for the high notes and one for the lower notes, for Daisy, posted here: Daisy.mov (1.27mb) (I hope I've linked that properly - it's under Newbie Ex 9 if I haven't!) I could not yet work out how to assign a made up word eg. noteA1 to a particular phoneme, so for the words I typed in dd bb gg etc and manually assigned "a single phoneme" to each word. Great fun. Chrury, you're probably looking for better sound quality, but I used Noteworthy to create the midi, then used Wavepad to record the midi to wav. I couldn't find a converter that would work.

Chrury Sanson Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Great flower, Caroline! modeled, textured and moving! Thumbs up! I found and used jetAudio. (scroll to the bottom) The basic download did the conversion and did it correctly. (I can't count how many I found that would play the midi from the internal speaker and record from that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
