Musical Marble Animation | Step By Step Tutorial In Blender | Rigid Body Physics With Sound & Light

In this Blender tutorial, we have discussed how to create musical marble animations that are quite popular on the social media. We started with the modeling part in order to create the musical steps or the notes. Then we have discussed in length how to use rigid body physics in order to create the desired effect for the musical animation, along with a material change effect on each hit. Please watch the video for the complete tutorial. If you have any question on this tutorial, please leave your comment below.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Thank you so much for the appreciation bro! 😊 It means a lot for me 💝💝💝

[@nickyreigns254]

Great tutorial. I discovered that there's no need to disable friction as this will cause the ball to not rotate naturally as it would in real life, thus breaking the realism. To prevent deflection, I simply place two vertical planes each set to passive rigid body on both sides of the ball to serve as a barrier. Of course, I have to disable their visibility in the viewport and render.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yep, that's one way to restrict the deflection, I suggested this as well for someone 👍 Or we can let go the rotation and add it later using a driver (rotation calculated based on the move and the angle of move automatically). This looks reasonably real and it is less cumbersome. But your method is also good 👍

[@wal00kgaming]

hi do you know how to make a tube version or a roller coaster track version... because for me i uses cylinder but the ball just bounce pass it without moving with the tube?

[@5MinutesBlender]

We will come back with another part of this tutorial to discuss how to add a tube or a rail in the path of the ball. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

[@ryumains6573]

I sort of hoped this will show how to create the animation for a specific tune, not a random noise. If you bring in a sound file, the sound spikes must be visible in one of many animation editors in Blender (timeline, graph, nla, etc) and that should make it easier to place the notes correctly. Also, the camera animation could be automated, if you set it to track the ball movement and copy the relative position with a delay (delay part is important, else the animation will look weird)

[@5MinutesBlender]

We have a tutorial on how to create animation based on a sound file: Part 1 is here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYSVf3WoncmLpJo and Part 2 is here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/apWtmWhnhNSNjpo But that is something different. The problem with sound to animation is, you cannot use Rigid Body Physics in that context, you have to create the animation yourself. While that is doable, it may not look natural, it will need a lot of manual effort to make it perfect, maybe not worth it. If you see the original marble music machine by Wintergatan, it needs that amount of effort - truly enormous.

[@juschu85]

​@@5MinutesBlenderWhy would you have to animate it manually? Just first analyze the music you want to use, find out on which frames in the target framerate the notes hit, go to the specific frames one note at a time and then place the 3D note wherever the ball is in that frame. Obviously, you can't just move those notes to random positions.

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@juschu85 Yes, we'll do this reverse process in another tutorial soon, I replied to your other comment separately on this, we'll in fact automate part of it to make it even easier. Thanks mate! 💝

[@AliensCorner]

The tutorial is amazing as always. I have watched such videos, Do they really use blender or another software coz their results is always top notch. I tried it using blender, but the process is very tedious and destructive. If you need to adjust one of the bounce, it renders the whole system null and now you have to repeat again.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Thanks! I can't say for sure whether they use Blender or something else, but it is 100% doable in Blender - not just the animation but the background sound as well. We rendered it using Eevee to show the beautiful output possible even with Eevee. But if you render it using Cycles, you'll get even better results. And as far as the physics part is concerned, it is simply practice. I did this tutorial in 2 trials, it was not that difficult for 23 notes. But even if we have 100 steps, it is easy if you keep on converting your physics simulations into keyframes. Never keep the physics simulation as it is, convert it after say each 10 units, then you would never have to re-do the steps from the beginning. That I think is the key factor here 😊

[@konossam7977]

I tried to use previus color change based on collision but it not working is not give the tiles number of frame its stay in 0 (just work for the ball) Could you help ?

[@5MinutesBlender]

You need to keep all those object in a single collection and select the ball while running that script. The script simply picks up the currently selected object (the ball) and runs through each object in the same collection, it tries to figure out when each of those objects (the notes) comes in close contact with the selected object (the ball). It will add a custom property (frame#) for each of those notes. So please check if you are using the script with the right context.

[@darrennew8211]

Doesn't keyframing the factor in one note change it in all of them? You'd have to make sure each has their own copy of the shader for that to work, right?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, very much correct 👍 I think we should have highlighted this point, we need to select all the notes and unlink their materials so that each one has its own copy. Thanks for pointing it out 👍👍

[@darrennew8211]

@@5MinutesBlender I never appreciated Unreal Engine's "Material Instances" until I realized that Blender lacked them. :-)

[@Printlapse_]

on shader editor you show how you change color to just one step, but for me it changes for all steps and can't find how to unlink this. Any tips?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Please select all the 3d notes, then from the Object menu, select Relations > Make Single User > Materials. Each note will now get its own copy of the material and you can change each of them individually without affecting others.

[@rohitgupta3249]

I followed the same way as you suggested, but even after applying emission material to sphere, it doesn't change anything, can you help what I might be missing?

[@5MinutesBlender]

You need to add emission material to the musical notes if you want them to light up after the collision. Adding emission to the sphere or ball will make it brighter but it won't make any change to the notes.

[@quierovivirensanantoniotex7407]

Great Video Im in the last step but when i apply the color to the first Note and the ball hits , all of the notes change the same color. im trying to use different colors for each note but whjen i chane one in the color emision all change to the same color . what Im I doing wrong ??? Thank you

[@5MinutesBlender]

No worries. The notes have their materials connected by default, hence changing one of them changes all. Please select all the notes, then go to the Object Menu > Relations > Make Single User > Materials. Now each note will have its own copy of the material and you can change them individually. Sorry if this was not obvious. If you have any other issues, you can send your blend file to us ([e-mail]) with a problem statement. We'll help you to resolve them.

[@quierovivirensanantoniotex7407]

Thank you for your reply. Do you have a tutorial on how to set the camera so it will follow the ball ?? Your videos are great. Do you have Patron ? Or special courses ??

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@quierovivirensanantoniotex7407 We don't have any paid courses or patron account. Setting up the camera in this case is quite easy. At frame# 1, place your camera such that it captures the ball correctly (you can do this in the camera view mode). Then add a constraint to your camera called TrackTo, and set the ball as the target. Now the camera will follow the ball always. But you'll notice that the camera jitters along with the ball whenever it hits an object, so this does not give a good result. We need the camera to follow the ball but not follow its jitters. That is a little more difficult to do. We are coming up with an add-on for our paid members that can automate this part. If you want to do it manually, you need to set up a curve alongside the notes and add a follow-path constraint to the camera with the target as this curve, and an empty that will also move along that curve, this empty will be the target for the TrackTo constraint where we previously had the ball.

[@quierovivirensanantoniotex7407]

Thank you very much for your explanation I will try that and I will look in to become part of your paid member you are awesome

[@Hafidz_Muhammad_Arief.]

9:09 There are a lot of musical notes. I'm tired of adjusting the color changes on the musical note material one by one every time the marble ball touches it. is there an automatic way to change the entire color of a musical note when the marble ball touches it?

[@5MinutesBlender]

We made a tutorial on how to use a script to detect the collision (with the ball) and add a custom property for each note without any big manual effort, that tutorial is here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIDGZmhvqbatq9E With an extension of this method, you can set up a shader node group that checks for this custom property and assigns a random color for each note once the current frame crosses the Collision Frame for each note. This can take care of a huge number of notes with very small manual work.

Love your videos! How can I edit the timing to make the bounce fit the song I choose?

[@5MinutesBlender]

No, I think that may not be possible. We can create the song based on the animation (agreed, it won't follow any particular melody, but it won't sound bad either). We will publish a tutorial on how to create that sound. But the opposite is technically not possible. Even if manage to do that using a python script (i.e. we dictate the bouncing according to our music), it won't look realistic. The bouncing won't look the same as in the real world. You need to manipulate the positions of the notes keeping the correlation with the music and the physics world, which is extremely difficult to try.

[@xiaolegun7070]

Hey, bro, how to combine collision detection and random colors from the previous video? I'm a beginner in blenders, noob.

[@5MinutesBlender]

The collision detection script will define a custom property for each of the notes (this property will hold the frame number at which the color change should happen). For the random color, if you are referring to our earlier tutorial, you just need to mix the random color with the base color of the note using a Color Mix node, and add a driver for the FAC input of this note. The driver will check the custom property (collision frame number) and set the FAC to either 0 or 1 in order to take the base color before the collision and the random color after the collision.

[@johnsmith56920]

Thanks and congrats. There is always a lot to gather from your tutorials. One thing I noticed though. The bounces aren't 100% correct according to the laws of physics. This is something I noticed also that even on big money, big names movies. Birds, dragons, and things that fly don't fly really realistic. If you can provide them with a solution to that there will be good money. I think the dragons should fly like manta ray swim. With some wave going through the length of the body, synchronized with the wings. In a more subtle way, it is the same thing for birds.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Glad to see a msg from you 😊 And thanks a lot for the appreciation 💝💝 Yes, sometimes an inaccuracy in physics is intentionally added into the animation in order to dramatize the effect or to create a dreamland experience. In this case though, we used the default settings in Blender, which can be (and should be) optimized for a production level output. To make things more accurate, we need to use a higher number of iterations and higher substeps value for rigid body physics - both of these fields are found under the Rigid Body World settings in the Scene tab within the Properties editor. With higher values in these fields we get higher accuracy, but the baking process becomes exponentially slower. I get your point though on the waving of wings - it can be made more realistic. At least a system limitation or an overlook may not be the reason behind, probably the animator is not adequately paid there 😂😂

Hmm 🤔

[@arslanahmed5676]

Hey! Amazing as Always👌. I have a question related to cloth physics. When I scale an object with the cloth physics applied to that. That does not work. Is there any solution to this problem or any other workflow with which I can achieve this?

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes you can do that using Geometry Nodes along with Cloth Physics. You must have noticed that Cloth physics is always added to your object as a modifier. Blender will evaluate the modifiers in the same sequence as they appear in the modifiers tab (and you can manually change this sequence if needed). What you can do is, add a Geometry Node to your object after the cloth physics is added. This will add a new modifier to your object. In the geometry node, use a transform node to scale your object, and you're done! The cloth will change in size without needing you to re-bake it afresh!

[@arslanahmed5676]

@@5MinutesBlender Excellent!😍. It's working perfectly fine. One more question related to this. If we don't want to change the scale directly rather we want to control it via another object let's say by parenting or by object constraints, then this method will not work. Is there any way to do that?

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@arslanahmed5676 No, we can't use parenting or constraints, that won't work. But you can use a second object in your geometry node and use its scale factors to drive the size of your original object. So in a way you can drive the size of your cloth using another object as parent, although it's not a 'parent' object in the technical sense.

[@arslanahmed5676]

​@@5MinutesBlender I've tried Object Info node going into the transform node and it works. Did you mean this or you were saying something else because I couldn't quiet get your point by saying "second object in your geometry node". Anyways it is working, Thanks. One optional thing is that when you scale by this method. The cloth object and the other object get scale up and down at their own location. But when you use parenting, normally it also changes location with the change of scale relative to the active object. Is there also a way to do this?

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@arslanahmed5676 Yes, that Object Info node is exactly what I meant. You did it correctly 👍 You can do the same with the location as well. Just like the scale factor, you can also get the location of the second object from the Object Info node and use it in the transform node to move your original object. Basically we are implementing the parent-child relation manually using these geo nodes 😂

How to sync it with aan actual music

[@5MinutesBlender]

We're working on another tutorial where you start with a music and create an animation based on that. We'll also automate part of it to reduce the total production time. This tutorial is expected to come within a few weeks.

@@5MinutesBlender thanks... nice to hear..btw I figured it out 😁

[@mertsari4809]

it dont work i do everything like u but it wont work i dont understand the black background dont work it will be everything black or not grey... After that the shader editor its not like your editor i just have 2 tables and you have 4 i know i can add them but if i try to put colour on the notes every note change the colour und not just 1 note... im so sad it wont work like it does in your video...

[@5MinutesBlender]

Don't worry. The notes have their materials connected by default, hence changing one of them changes all. Please select all the notes, then go to the Object Menu > Relations > Make Single User > Materials. Now each note will have its own copy of the material and you can change them individually. Sorry if this was not obvious. If you have any other issues, you can send your blend file to us ([e-mail]) with a problem statement. We'll help you to resolve all the issues.

@@user-zd7sz6sp9b We created that music using a python script based on our animation. We are preparing a tutorial on how to use python script to create such a music, this tutorial will be published next week 😊

[@juschu85]

4:44 "and move it to any position with your mouse" Tell me you're not a musician without telling me you're not a musician. Obviously, you can't just place the notes at any random position. You can rotate them however you like, but their position completely depends on the timing of the notes. Unless you're fine with completely random and boring music like we hear in the result at the end of the video. If you actually want nice music, you first need the music, you need to analyze it, and find out on which frames in the target framerate the notes hit. Then instead of moving the 3D notes to any position, you move it to the exact position where the ball is at exactly the frame the note hits. That's extremely important if you actually want to have a good result like the ones you see on social media these days. You also can't just make it faster or slower at the end. Then you would also have to make the music faster or slower and that might not fit with the music.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Agreed, if the song is the primary focus, we'll have to start with the song. We'll surely come up with another tutorial where we start with the song itself that drives the animation. It is really painful to find out the exact frames where the sound peaks appear, which I think can be automated and I am working on a script to break down a song into distinct frame numbers. This approach with a few more fine tuning can be good to convert a song into animation. I am glad that you shared your valuable input into this, thank you so much 💝

[@juschu85]

​@@5MinutesBlender I never worked with audio in Blender, but as long as you can see the audio waveform somewhere, it should be no problem to find the right frames in Blender alone. And when the note appears to be between two frames (audio sampling rates are much higher than even the highest framerates), I think it's better to choose the later frame. Thanks to the speed of sound, we're used to see something before we hear it and not the other way around. To be really exact, you could also go one frame back in the animation to see how far the ball travels in one frame and then place the 3D note in a way that the ball hits it in between two frames.

[@5MinutesBlender]

@@juschu85 Wow, I am impressed! You are talking about inter-frame details. I truly appreciate your thought process on that level of accuracy 👍 And you are absolutely correct on the suggested techniques 👍
