I Synchronized a Race Track to Music - Trackmania PF #3

This is no ordinary race track. It took me over 100 hours to create, matching various jumps and bounces of the car to the beat using trial and error.
Nadeo pushed multiple updates to the game while I was working on this. I was terrified one of them would change the physics and cause all my work to be lost. Thankfully the physics remained deterministic. Moral of the story, don't make pf tracks on a game that is still in development if you can avoid it.

0:26 idk why but this small part was so satisfying

[@richardpike8748]

Same. It's probably because of the visibly hard hits/redirects the car takes against the surfaces, changing the velocity significantly, making it "visually punctuated" as I'd call it. And they are definitely well timed. Another analogy I'd use is that it's almost like the car is being "punched" by the track, in time with the beats

[@woodrunner51]

its intense and follows the beats so well....

[@taylorgarrett793]

lol it says it took him over 100 hours

[@boringkobold7367]

The only thing that helped him achieve this is that track manias physics are completely deterministic, so it's the same every run

[@danyl_bor11]

2:18 Cute. Wirtual at this point is a Trackmania ambassador.

[@commandercritic9036]

The fact that it doesn’t even look like your even controlling the car, but just letting it free fall through the track is perhaps the most insane thing about this, every bump, turn and jump is carefully timed and placed to be EXACTLY right so that the car doesn’t fall off the track, WITH the music then synced up to that. I don’t even want to know how many hours you put into this making it perfect, go take a breather man, you earned it.

[@Cucube]

The only thing he does is pressing the gas. Thanks to Trackmania's deterministic physics, the same sequence of inputs will always result in the same behavior from the car. So by only pressing the gas pedal, the car always reacts the same way to collisions. Same speed, same direction, on every single attempt. Thanks to this, Doodle was able to create a track and focus on the synchro instead of focusing on getting lucky with the bumps. Hopefully it helps to better understand this masterpiece

[@commandercritic9036]

@@Cucube indeed it does 😁

[@naugahyde1014]

Between the first one and this one, I can absolutely see the improvements as your sense of rhythm and ability to think outside the box have evolved over the years. This is a delight, as usual. Thanks for making satisfying visuals for some bumping tunes, dude!

[@EverythingTheorist]

This is fantastic as always. I like how you didn't just fit the rhythm, but the mood of each part. Lik when the song is winding down at the end, the car does these long jumps with no nearby obstacles, as opposed to the middle where it's flipping all over the place.

[@ElectricalSwift]

But the rhythm is what creates the mood.

[@BatikanIscan]

[@nolanmissigman2727]

This is why I love KZbin (and the internet in general). Someone’s experiences and development from the time of their birth has led them to feel the need to create an incredibly satisfying video of a car being tossed around a ridiculously impractical racetrack in a manner that synchronizes with the music being played over it. Instead of making this artwork just to satisfy themself, they can now share it with thousands of people who are not necessarily in the position to make similar art, but certainly in the position to appreciate it. And what a wonderful niche of the internet to occupy.

I met you from Beat Craft 4. The synchronicity of action and rhythm in that video shocked me, so I subscribed to you. After that, "I Synchronized my Minecraft World to music" was an eye-opener and made me realize that Minecraft can also be used as a music visualization tool. I saw this video today, and it's still as high-quality as ever, and the picture and rhythm are in perfect sync. I admire your talent very much. I hope you can make better videos in the future. At the same time, I also wish you could reach one million subscriptions so that more people can see your works. By the way, I am from Hong Kong.
