I recreated Line Rider in 3D and the result feels cursed
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2021
- The Mountain King track is back! This is my first time doing procedurally generated mesh terrain in Unity. It was a lot of fun to create, although the result feels a bit unsettling. My character modelling skills could use some work lol. Glad I did it though, because I can apply this technique to other concepts now.
Rough explanation of how I did it:
1. I modded a Line Rider Advanced build to output the position data of all the rigging points on the character and sled to a json file.
2. My script reads the line rider track file and converts it into 3D rect geometry.
3. By reading through the motion data of the character, I basically calculate the derivative at each point, allowing me to calculate normal and tangent vectors to the character's movement. These vectors determine the terrain mesh positions.
4. This part I'm really proud of. I created my own keyframing system for camera movement, allowing me to orbit the camera around the character and smoothly interpolate between different positions in time while tracking the character. There is also a keyframing system for terrain parameters.
5. Random raycasts from the sky little the ground with trees and rocks for extra decoration.

This feels like when an old 2D show gets revamped and turned 3D. Cool but cursed
The netflix adaptation of Line Rider
@@DoodleChaos pretty accurate
Please do rtx version
@@DoodleChaos For what it’s worth, it didn’t feel cursed to me (except the drumroll speed boosts). It was awesome :D
Netflix adaptation of spirit
That pov of falling down was incredible. The tunnels made it extra scary.
I felt like I was watching a replay of my nightmares
Or spooky?
its amazing
not as scary as your avatar😂
It felt like I was going into a worm hole abyss
The next voyager mission should have a golden disc with just this video and say "You figure it out aliens, peace"
The *TRUE* Golden Record
"OK so, here is the exact moment we knew that we should end the earth"
Man, can you imagine how different Beast Wars would be?
“Did you ever wonder *why* I stole the golden disk?” “You were looking for energon” “That was a bonus. The real reason was because I found a secret message from my namesake. Your commander.” _Megatron plays this to Ravage_ “I have no idea what this means, but it must have been important for the Decepticon cause!!!!”
Captain it’s… the vidians they’ve come to harvest…. Penguin organs???
“Is…. Is that what they look like? Is that what they do for FUN?!”
honestly it feels a lot more tense in this version especially when you can see the drop ahead of him when the music kicks up, gives that feeling of "oh my god I'm gonna die"
They do! They get decapitated in part of the song!
@@SwampThing585 holup
That face will be in my nightmares tonight
It’s sooo scary
I honestly don't think it's cursed or cringey. It took a little bit to get used to the black ramps in the landscape but I feel like it REALLY translated really well on the Ludicrous Speed section much better than 2D.
Worthwhile!!!
Thanks dude! I did my best
@@DoodleChaos your best is always enough. You never cease to impress. Keep up the awesome work! ❤️
@@DoodleChaos I am so glad that the end part with the guy separating from the sled and doing the glitchy bounce worked out!
Agreed, the super fast free fall was perhaps the best part.
JJoker... what's wrong with Light Speed?
In the Hall of the Mountain King: The perfect classical music piece for "That escalated quickly."
Thank you, DoodleChaos, for all of your videos! As a music teacher, I am able to use them to engage my students while being able to talk about the music. It's like sneaking spinach into the spaghetti sauce! I teach elementary school and all of my kids K-5 love your videos! Thank you so much for your creativity, talent and willingness to share with us. My students and I look forward to seeing your next videos and I can't wait to show them this one! They will love it!
I, also, am an elementary music teacher and love these videos so I created combined video of the 2D and 3D together!! ua-cam.com/video/vLlXH8QAN08/v-deo.html
What im most impressed with is that you actually got the little guy to move exactly how he does in Line Rider
It was automatically rendered
Positions of the sled and guy were exported from line rider.
@@moversti92 still impressive
@@AliBaba-mb1pu not automatically lol dude wrote a script to make this happen
But are the physics still deterministic, that's the question
If I understand correctly, it's exported from the 2d game with a mod. Recreating the physics of the original game would be tricky.
If not, this must have been really painful
If I’m reading the description correctly it says that it just records the points the character is at throughout the song and plays through them, so it’s just as deterministic as the 2d version is.
There are no physics, it's just playback
My first thought was that maybe if Line Rider were a unity game, you'd be able to create a 3D scene with only 2D physics applied to it (I have messed with this myself and it works fine). Not really deterministic, but quite likely to produce similar enough results, though the cumulative error might not have worked.
Seeing the actual answer, I'm actually even more impressed.
This is absolutely sick. Though, I imagine a big factor of why it's so unsettling is the camera movement, while keyframed and smoothly interpolated, looks to be strictly locked onto the rider. At parts such as 0:24, this jumpy movement is really apparent and staggering. Usually camera movement is done with easing, which really helps the flow.
Amazing work! Must've took ages.
Maybe because I don't play line rider but just watch these videos, that part looked just as normal to me as the rest of the video, a bit of a different aesthetic but cool to watch nonetheless
You're right, the whole thing is awfully jumpy. Tying the camera to the rider with a follow script instead of just making the camera a child of the rider and adding a slight lerp would have really smoothed this out.
Cursed or not, this is a masterpiece in and of itself.
Seeing things move in the background really brings home just how fast that poor rider is moving by the end. Awesome work!
“Oh, okay, this is pretty cool”
**remembers the insanity of the original**
“Oh no”
lolololol
He would descend 40,000 feet
I’m a year late to this chaos and I’m now trying to figure out how nobody noticed the rider flipping in tune to the music at 1:43
Oh, we all noticed. Just rewatching in awe.
Because there's no way we can get the same
He's just descending about 2000mph down the mountain XD
This is by far the coolest "cursed" thing i have ever seen
🎉
The recreation of a masterpiece resulted as more even better masterpiece.......
Marvelous video good sir. You're a true national hero and an idol of mine. I hope to one day obtain a mere fraction of the talent that you bestow in all that you do. Doodlers unite!
lmao a national hero
I concur. Doodlers unite!
@@DoodleChaos sending skiers at those speeds you cross borders and can consider yourself an international hero.
Greetings from South Africa. ;)
*HE KEEPS BECOMING MORE POWERFUL!*
*_WE MUST STOP HIM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!_*
AMAZING work! Absolutely outstanding! You really get to see the speed in the last bit, because you can see rocks and stuff wizzing past - a lovely extra thing in this version that's not possible in the original from lack of context - I love ALL OF THISSSS
can’t even imagine how long this took, it’s sweet despite the cursed nature of it
His eyes are looking into my soul, but I love it.
Seeing the extra context for the speed traveled definitely made it way more intense
Dude! I love this! This is so awesome. I would love to see more of this!
The fact that he finished just suspended in the open sky is especially unsettling…
Doesn't seem really cursed. Kinda cool. Scary though, especially when the rider enters the tunnels.
Better if 1:45 was over a gorge
Looks awesome bro. Appreciation for the great effort you have taken😀👍❤️
Your camerawork is impressive! It follows the character around so smoothly!
So... how long before someone tries to make a terrible mobile game with this as the ad?
Really good work though. The tunnels being repeating rings bothered me, but much less so as ut picked up speed
so true lol
i can see it now
Jokes! It's a match 3!
I was thinking the same thing
@@stevydoos its a match 3 and the background picture they use is a still from the 2D version
if anyone manages to make a legit game of this that doesn’t cause your phone to catch fire, they deserve to use this
too bad it’s always match 3 or something lol
as a game dev i was wondering how exactly you did it, having seen the original video
nice to have the explanation in the description
didnt know the line rider levels could be exported into raw data like that, prety neat!
Your work is amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed this 😁
Still love the drum roll at the end. You have made that my most favorite part of the entire song!
This takes it to the next level! I can see a VR experience or even a whole theme park based on Line Rider.
My anxiety was rising as the song went…by the end I was just relieved he didn’t face plant into a rock!
This was wicked!
That's so cool🤩 I can't even imagine the amount of work!
Amazing! I demand more of this cursed wizardry!
Absolutely fantastic, can't believe how it's just the actual line rider runs you've made. Even with the falling off the sled at the end and everything. Art in motion.
When he's laying there at the end, that's a mood.
I love that one Hall of the Mountain King video has become just as iconic as Line Rider itself
That was freaking EPIC. I loved it. Pls do more. I'm begging you.
Just be glad we only have to watch it once, just imagine how many times he had to watch the cursed rider to make the pathing and such
Just once??!!! I watch many times! 😁🙂🎼🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶
He directly used the data from the original, so that saved him having to actually implement all the physics etc. It's like an alternate rendering of the original, not a new simulation. That's why it matches so exactly :).
This is so awesome! I show the Line Rider videos to my music elementary music classes (a lot of us do!). This one is especially great for showing accelerando and crescendo. My students are going to LOSE it (in a good way) with how exciting this is. We always just say that the guy took a nap by the end since he was so exhausted after his crazy ride. Thank you!
That is just astonishingly amazing! Great job dude!!
Your videos never fail to make me smile. So creative!
Hall of the Mountain King was the video I found your channel through, and watching this is a bizarre mix of cozily nostalgic, incredibly cool, and unspeakably cursed.
Me: "Can we have Mount Everest at home?"
Mom: "We have Mount Everest at home."
Mount Everest:
Wow it's actually epic. I get the goosebumps when the speed increasing. The atmosphere is amazing blend so well with the music and the lines, especially when falling in the tunnel 👌✨
This looks amazing and frightening at the same time :D awesome!!!
This couldn’t be more perfect timing. I just showed my 3rd grade students the original Mountain King line rider when we started learning about dynamics last week. Can’t wait to show them this!
I, also, am a teacher so I put the 2 videos into 1 for comparison! ua-cam.com/video/vLlXH8QAN08/v-deo.html
still stays impressive. pure respect to this effort man
As a pianist, I am genuinely satisfied when every time the snowman hits a bar thing there is a beat.
Insane work dude, congrats. Loved it
Imagine if this was a roller coaster. Not like one with tracks, one like “minion madness” at universal
More 3D Line Riders please! Thank you, that was great! I like the normal line riders, but this gave the Riders depth, and purpose. It's good to see realistic background, scenery. I'm satisfied immensely. Once again, Thank you very much! 🙂😁❤
This was AMAZING! Please do more! :)
That was awesome. Your Hall of the Mountain King was probably the first Line Rider video I watched on UA-cam, so it's fun to see it translated to another dimension like this.
Going back to a classic and making it new. Honestly, I really like the snowy background! It fits since Bosh wears winter clothes and rides a sled. The white is similar enough to Line Rider so the 3D doesn't feel wildly different. AND, like others said, it gives perspective on how fast he's going.
Also the end scene with the Patreon names was really creative! I like it.
This is BLESSED, what do you MEAN!
This is really impressive! The explanation of how you did it in the description is really cool too. I love doing procedural meshes with Unity!
Im speechless
and i had a smile the whole time while watching
big props to you man
you have my respect
Feels like early-gen, but good.
One recommendation I could make is to have your signature not just at the beginning or end (which could be clipped out), but strategically throughout. Would help cut down on the thefts.
Yes! People should unironically relentlessly put their signatures on everything they make because thieves are fucking everywhere.
I must say I like the 2D one much better. This does look pretty cool though. And, you picked my favorite Line Rider tune as well!
your work is spectacular as always. adding a cursed factor just makes it better
I loved the original and this is sooooo good, too! Learn and grow, my friend. You have much to offer!
You are so clever and inspiring. This is insane!
Thank you! It's not as complicated as it might seem. Rough explanation in the description.
@@DoodleChaos Cool! You are the one UA-camr who actually makes me frequently think: I really want to try and make content like this.
This man is a genius
This won my subscription after viewing a lot of your video's, hope it hits the algo soon!
We love your videos. Do some more, dont stop as you can😊
Nice
I literally saw the original for the first time ever about 5 minute ago, searching for "Hall of the Mountain King" by Savatage. What a timing!
I love this song and love the theme. Great job on the 3d work (its not easy). Also I love the camera orbits, it worked great. It was great to see the spinning of the rider in 3d and have the camera move. This concept is awesome and I cant wait to see what you do next!!!!!
This is absolutely fantastic! Your best one ever!
Thank you!
Truthfully, give him back his hair, turn each circle of rock a little bit, and use a good HDRI for the reflections and it will be perfect.
fantastic job, this is by far the best 3-D version of line rider I've ever seen, visually speaking. The cliffs of snow and tunnels really helped you to feel the vertigo like it was a roller coaster. ...even if Bosh themself is a bit cursed in 3D (I'm not sure it's possible to make a non-cursed 3D Bosh tbh)
EDIT: also will you be releasing the modded LRA build?
Looks extremely fun to watch! Grieg really shows a flexibility of the classic music there, good job.
hey, i'm so proud of you, look at all the neat skills you've learned!!!!
This is good, Really wish the underground sections looked different though. The walls just look like you stacked a bunch of rock models, and don't convince me I'm looking at a cave or tunnel.
A good idea might be to sign the character
The only cursed part of this cool animation is the four line staff 😭
your line rider is so cute! Also, the 3d thingy is so realistic! :)
I think this is fabulous. Loved it. Please make more in 3D.
The background makes it feel a lot more dangerous, honestly
2:12 his head is nocliped in the line!
I have been a viewer since you created marble stuff. Keep up the good work!
The music is an impressive work of art and rendering the original line rider in 3D is equally impressive. Totally awesome. :o)
Did you animate this, or did you use Unity's physics engine? Either way, bravo!
In the description, they said that it is just an export of Line Rider, so Unity just plays back the data
POV: you're a cryptocurrency day trader
Do I dare change the title to this?
Confirmed
Ayo, SMB
WHY IS THIS SO UNDERRATEDD
@@DoodleChaos yes
Damn... dis is alot of hardwork. It's pretty good ngl 👍🏼✨
You did a great job. Fun to watch.
This is so cursed but once again, I couldn't stop watching. Amazing!!!
I like how at 2:14, the rider just leans forward as if he realizes how fast he’s going
This is awesome! I love the caves
Was about to give up on learning Unity. This video was exactly what I needed to keep on going!
the 3d made and the angles u used for your tracking camera made this feel really intense and I loved it tha k you for your hard work I'd love to see more 3d line rider as well as know what animation software u used thanks for making amazing content be safe and have a great day
This is my therapy video, it syncs up so well, I could watch it the whole day
i cant comment on xbox so yes i logged on my computer to tell you thank you for syncing everything to the music and effort to making the vid let alone the programming. keep it up
Love how the rider just lies there at the end, contemplating his actions
Reminds me of stuff you would see come out of Demoscene back in the mid/late 90's. Enjoying it!
Once again, doodle chaos has blessed us with another amazing video. Thank you for all your hard work
The amount you put into a video is incredible and inspirational
I loved it! I spend 7 hours a day designing 3D models, I love what you've done!
