Making a Bouncing Curve Audiovisualizer in Blender 4.2

[@lord_kerman]

I am now extremely motivated to do this despite having never touched Blender in my life.

[@RachelLara]

No, I literally feel exactly the same way right now.

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

I am not great at computer stuff, but I did learn how to use Blender and I really like the interface. I just wish my brain could understand nodes better. Games drag me away from this type of thing, and it's a shame cos I could image really getting engrossed in these visuals. There is no limit to what you could add.

[@Polyfjord]

If you hear occasional crackling noises throughout this video - don't worry, you're not going crazy! I tried everything I could to fix it in post, but it seems some crackling noises still came through in the final upload :( Sorry!

[@destroything]

@@Polyfjord where exactly did the crackling noises come from?

[@Polyfjord]

@@destroything it was my PC having too many USB connections directly to the mother board, so my audio interface must have gotten a lower priority or something. But I got a usb hub with its own power delivery, and moved all the other usb connections to that, and it worked! Kinda sucks to figure it out *after* the tutorial was recorded, but I'm glad I'll be having better recordings going forward!

[@destroything]

@@Polyfjord that's great to hear (the better recordings part, not that you had to deal with unfortunate audio issues)

[@artandgrow9240]

It’s okay Polyjford to only be human! I really appreciate this tutorial, I’ve really been looking forward to it this whole time!!! This old lady will need to rewatch things a few times, but I aim to create a visual to go with a Japanese folk song 😆

[@theowllol]

@Polyfjord Hi, is it fine for you if I use this add-on for a Musical movie? Of course, I would create my own style. Are you fine with using it in other KZbin movies or short cinematics?

[@IGI_Media]

@Polyfjord i'm a formally trained CGI artist, now retired after 30 years. I still follow the technology as it has come so far since we were adding a flying camera to CAD files in the early 90's If I was still animating, I'd sign up immediately. You have a very easy to follow style and a chill relaxed presence so i could watch your vids for hours. One of the most impressive "from scratch" creations i have seen. Very nicely done!!

[@WibleWobble]

"I dont really like these trajectories" - The man who made the trajectory addon Seriously though, this is awesome! Great result

[@marvinblend]

9:40 You don’t necessarily need to make your own MIDI files (I never have, lol). You can usually just search for the song you want + 'MIDI,' or there are websites and Discord servers with communities that share MIDI files. But in that case, you can still edit the MIDI, like removing note tracks you don’t want, changing the BPM, and so on!

[@Polyfjord]

Nice!! Good point my friend. Would love to see some insight into how you’re making your legendary videos!! Although totally respect if you prefer keeping things under wraps too! Cheers mate

[@marvinblend]

@@Polyfjord Yeah, preferably I’d rather not talk too much about the making of my videos, but I believe you could easily manage it. It’s basically dynamic animation with a camera parented to an empty that follows the ball. The rest is just the effort of manipulating dynamic movement by changing the angles of the instruments. By the way, I'm a fan! I saw one of your videos teaching how to create a fireball, and I took that and used it in one of my videos! It turned out pretty cool, lol! 🧡

[@takwaiwong4065]

A fan of both is witnessing this comment

[@PiginaCage]

There are at least 10 amazing Blender tips in this one video. Thank you so much

[@_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_]

Been waiting for this! This is exactly what i need for a project I'm working on! Great stuff as always

[@agyab3d]

😅

[@noelhutz]

2:38 love the little norwegian slips you have sometimes xD great video as always!

[@leafy_5]

😮 I never knew there was any downside to persistent data setting😮 26:35 thank you! Amazing video! So much valuable info 🙏

[@Nickel3D]

Can's miss a Polyfjord tutorial!! A delightful experience each video, keep it up sir!

[@davestone2792]

Thank you so much. I literally gasped when I saw these in Instagram and was struggling to figure out how you did this. For me, it truly is a beautiful work of genius.

[@eugenefedorov3498]

Holy moly. Genius… You are an expert. And perfect… great effort. Crazy efforts…

[@nicnixart]

The simplicity of this tutorial hit my nerves to get my ass back to practice blender . Thumbs up

[@skehtch]

This was a lot of fun to replicate! Thank you!

[@AHSEN.]

So talented that you can even play piano with your nose! Great video as always :). Despite the fact that I've been using Blender for 5 years now, every video is worth watching. The quality on these is incredible!

[@nidhu595]

FINALLY! an actual decent music visualiser tutorial that doesnt just use noise that is moved by the amplitude!

[@JJzerro]

actually what is wrong with this method?

[@4.0.4]

@@JJzerro If you want a procedural music visualizer, you can do a lot better than just tracking the amplitude. An easy improvement is tracking the amplitude of different frequencies, but there's a lot more you could do.

[@thomas7726]

@@JJzerro nothing, but it is not original....

[@realblenderassassin]

really love your videos man keep it up

[@iowa_don]

WOW!! Incredible stuff!

[@stillremain.artwork]

This is an excellent tutorial for basic knowledge, I learnt a lot of blender stuff

[@DaveThompsonfairlife4all]

I can use Blender... I can do this! What an awesome musical visualization and you even teach us how to do it. Amazing.

[@paulkuykendall5584]

That was the most fun I've had doing a tutorial. Simple, clearly presented and learned a lot of new things.

[@3pcgi959]

I don't want to put anyone down because there are others who make good tutorials, but I think he is the number one. 🤔

[@Piano-Therapy]

I AM SO HYPE FOR THAT COURSE

[@serg472]

Glad that someone with the necessary skills is working on an interesting sheet music visualizer. Piano music should be visualized as sheet music for everyone's benefit, that synthesia visualizer plague needs to be cured.

[@avi8r66]

This is really, really good. Nicely done.

[@thomas7726]

thank you for share ur knowledge! the world moves forward thanks to people like you.

[@deltech1]

Literally one of the coolest things

[@crestmagic6640]

I can't wait to try and recreate Beethoven's 6th Symphony using this technique. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and creativity.

[@echerif_3d]

Brilliant, just brilliant!

[@ithuriel128]

This is super cool! Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@trinabaker3186]

You are very generous ... thank you so much for sharing.

[@WaterShowsProd]

Like I commented on Instagram: I like how this is essentially a modern descendant of Max Fleischer's bouncing ball shorts, but watching this I suddenly thought, you're probably not old enough to remember the musical 3-D animations where balls bounced around these musical worlds, hitting the instruments in time to the music. They were truly groundbreaking when they were made in either the late 1980s or early 1990s. It's just interesting how this theme keeps returning and gets reinvented with the latest technology. In this case even incorporating A.I.! Great stuff, as always.

[@agyab3d]

every video you put out, i mean every bit of it is soo informative.. ❤.. thanks man 👌 .. glory to blender

[@OlliHuttunen78]

This is so lovely and inspiring. Thank you for this tutorial and the bounce add-on! You are the Best!

[@ugikie]

Thanks so much for making this, I’ve watched the Tetris video so many times and am now so inspired to get back into Blender to make some of my own! Definitely looking forward to the course 😄👏

[@box4soumendu4ever]

thanks, it is awesome. SIR I am with you now on... fantastic explanations...

[@FelixUngureanu-personal]

Thank you so much for your work! I would really like to learn more about this subject in your future course :)

Very cool video and technique, my cat was mesmerized :D Will be on the look out for the course - secretly hoping it includes you playing the entire Axel F with your nose as bonus 👃

[@Onyxx_hayes]

brooop is so funny i wasn’t ready for that

[@Timeline.Fitness]

Hi, at 5:02 whenever I try to add the curve object my projectile goes off in a crazy direction nowhere near the curve. It looks like it's attached to something as it bounces up and down and changes size when moved, but it never is on the bounce curve. How do i fix?

[@Mostwonted7]

Мужик, успехов. Ты охриненно замороченый. Это очень здорово. Спасибо за туториал. Тебе, я уверн это стоило многих сил.

In the playback menu in the sync tab also select sync to audio. I dont know why this is not set as default. When its set to sync to frame it somehow offsets the audio. Maybe you wouldnt even need to do the keyframing part.

[@mwdit4897]

Oh man, I've been working for about two weeks to recreate your brilliant idea and make something new out of it ... and now this tutorial !🤣 You are so brilliant and inspiring!

[@larswillsen]

Oh wow .. I tried to use it on a follow-fingers on live guitar solo clips .. I can imagine the usefulness on music videos :)

[@bullshark1152]

Really cool m8. I wish I had this options in my days as a 3D guru with C4D. That would have been cool. Nevertheless, great vid and as said on insta, I really love your art work. Thumbs up. 😁👍🤜

ty for tutorial, BTW i love ur video

[@anon_y_mousse]

Now we just need a whole slew of them going at the same time playing each individual instrument in the song. Make them different colors and for their differing levels you could perhaps make a splash when they hit each note that ripples more for heavier notes.

[@sridharerror]

You have Innovative brain 🧠 brother Great video
