Fuchur Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi, just wanted to show something cool in the next release of A:M. The plugin Amplitude will be able to use a WAV-file and control any kind of animation-channel (like a pose, a bones rotation, translation, etc.) with the amplitude of the soundfile. Two very small example can be seen attached. The first one is created from several single-tracks (so that the instruments are playing solo in the tracks and control each one "instrument"). The second one is a part of a nightcore-song which will control the height of a model (better to say a pose which controls the height of a model). Then I used the plugin Multiple-Copies to create 10 of those and attached the action created by Amplitude to it. Each of the actions has been shift for 10 frames then... because of that you receive a nice wave-like animation. Hope you like it .

Admin Rodney Posted January 3, 2013 Admin Share Posted January 3, 2013 How does one get access to this new plugin. Is it pending release of v17e? I'm curious to compare it with the Midi plugin (which BTW is quite an excellent tool). I've been using the freeware program Aria Maestosa to create the midi instructions/music to drive the animation in A:M. There are quite a few places we can right click and use a Midi file to drive animation that I'm curious if Wav files are treated simularly. No rush... just curious if I missed an announcement or link to the plugin. Added: For those that want to create Midi files to drive animation check out Aria Maestosa: http://ariamaestosa.sourceforge.net/ If desired you can use other utilities to convert the Midi files to WAV. The program will run on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux/Unix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite sure it will be available in 1-2 weeks for the public. I am not sure, but I think the MIDI-plugin can only use two states, right? Active or inactive? Amplitude can use any given state inbetween like 1% pose-percentage, 17.5%, 33,321512%, etc. (digital vs analog) And of course: You can use any given track without the need of midi-notes to get it going.

Admin Rodney Posted January 3, 2013 Admin Share Posted January 3, 2013 Thanks. I'll wait for it. I'm a bit surprised (but pleased) it didn't get reserved for v18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 SOUNDS COOL! Thanks for the samples and heads-up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largento Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Been hoping for something like this for a while now! Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted January 3, 2013 Admin Share Posted January 3, 2013 Here's my contribution. I don't have the plugin so this is Midi driven. A simple bone rotation steadily increasing... rising.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertexspline Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Sometimes just going through threads like this make you learn so much on things you never knew . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefreshestever Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 that´s pretty cool.. i´ve done a lot of stuff with audio-react with several after-effects plug-ins, this can be a real powerful tool for music videos and stuff like that. lookin forward to testing it...
