    If you liked Genesis, I'd highly recommend checking out a new project I've been working on with Zach Goertzen called Ambient Glow. He did all of the 3D and music for the project while I was beefing up my animation code. The animations are leaps and bounds better than Genesis. ua-cam.com/video/2wPGvGtJwHQ/v-deo.html

    This gives me such an nostalgic Animusic vibe. Super smooth animation, head bobbing music, and creative instruments too. Man I hope the Animusic team or at least someone that worked there sees this and would try to come back some time sooner. This is not even good, it's freaking awesome!

    Wow, is this really outside of the Animusic company? I am speechless, this is amazing! I know that Animusic 3 has shrunken quite a bit, but this video is very convincing. Everything is just so smooth like the actual animations. Overall, I think Wayne needs you, everyone needs you and your friend. You are the type of person that can make this happen! :)

      @Aqua Vlogs! I appreciate the kind words; I say baby project for a few reasons. I'm not nearly as skilled with 3D or music composition as I am in programming, Zach has a lot more experience in that department. I actually gave him my original composition (which was a basic bass line with a lead melody and drums) and he turned it into the song used here.
      We've been pooling our talents into two very big projects; one of which, named "Ambient Glow", is in the rendering phase and will (probably) go live sometime in October. The animation on Ambient Glow is leaps and bounds better than Genesis.
      The other project is a lot more in-development right now, so I can't say much; but it'll be announced what we're doing after we release Ambient Glow

      @MarchCain  2 роки тому +1

      It took on and off work (over the course of about 2-3 months) to complete the programming for the animation, and at the time my MIDI animation software was about a year old in development. Anything controlled by a note was procedural (except for the gong, which was hand animated, regrettably). MIDAS tells me 156,374 keyframes were created procedurally in 1 minute and 43 seconds.

  • @zeke7100

    The likeliness of you seeing this comment is low, but if you are able to show us how we can get the MIDAS engine, that'd be really amazing. After animusic said they'd release their engine and then never did, I've desperately wanted a replacement that could do around the same thing.

    • @MarchCain
      @MarchCain  7 місяців тому

      Sorry, but MIDAS is closed source, and as of right now, I don't have plans to change that. Maintaining the software and documenting it for public use is currently too much of a hassle; combined with the fact I've spent four years on the R&D side, etc... Simply put, I don't want to worry about the public maintenance of the software, and I'd rather worry about programming it to be fit to Zach and I's workflow.
      I will say that github.com/jamesa08/MIDIAnimator is currently the best open source music animation software right now. I don't have experience with it personally, but I'm friends with the person currently developing it and it's probably your best bet.
