Minecraft Acid Interstate V1 - 2015 Remake

"Half Awake pt 2" by Topaz:

Topaz has a new album out and you should listen to it:

This video was a nightmare. I probably spent longer on this video than I did on the original. What was originally supposed to take 7 nights to record dragged out to nearly a month.
Recording the omnidirectional tiles was extremely unreliable and required multiple workarounds that I wasn't aware of at the outset. This was made worse by the fact that I didn't devise a method to check if a recording was in sync until after I had wasted over 100 hours on bad recordings.
The torch-beats were redone from scratch.
Recorded on Minecraft 1.2.5.

GLSL Shaders & Acid Shaders - Obligatory
Minema - Recording
Camera Studio - Basically a replacement for the Minecart. The camera path I made is actually moving both forward and up. The upwards motion is compensated for in the Acid Shaders code, and then used as the time variable. I did this because worldTime cannot be precisely controlled between recordings, which is an issue for recording omnidirectional.

Those torch following the beats is so satisfying

[@dyingtolive1039]

i know! he did such a better job at the sync torches on this version

[@memerogamer4700]

Si...

[@greenyFR]

Yes

[@camben4128]

Huh

IMPRESSIVE

[@gottalivehappy]

Your profile picture works so well with this comment

[@Hitori0okami]

oo bb 1year later it finally renders

[@MiningGodBruce]

+Moonstone At the rate I'm going that's not a bad estimate for V3.

[@JM_Traslo]

This needs to be some form of Oculus Rift tech demo!

[@Darhk00x]

Bro my brain would explode if I did this in Oculus Rift

[@Thebestbobbyboy]

Be funny if you were edited the comment to say, oculus quest

[@AquaticShelter]

Epic work

[@batcat2338]

True🥺

[@MiningGodBruce]

selvaoscura.bandcamp.com/track/as-always This is a song I found from a hipster lookbook video I saw on reddit back in 2013. I was going to use it in the original Acid Interstate V1, before I found Topaz from a Buzzfeed video.

[@hissikuvaaja8832]

hello

hello

[@user-os9wv3hg1x]

Hello

[@Jackson-ee2og]

These Acid Interstate videos you make are great, keep it up!

[@AdrianJaden]

I was watching this and for some reason it made me fall asleep... felt good tho

[@MiningGodBruce]

sleep tight penguin

[@killamanjarho]

Love this man, good job on the torch timing!

[@jakesansis2393]

1440p 60 fps nice bb

[@MormyJenkins]

you need to make more i could listen to this stuff all day

[@flushely]

6 years later, I have enjoyed this yet

[@ZeBaguetteGamer]

So that's what being on acid is like? Cool

[@NoConsequenc3]

+ZeBaguetteGamer no, not at all Acid can be fun but it can also be very intense, in both a good way and a bad way.

[@AdminHouse]

Real acid can make your skin go away so it's dangerous!

[@patapondonchakam]

and more ;)

[@UnFyKilianZ]

@@AdminHouse lmao thats the biggest bs I have ever heard

[@dumbgayfurryxd]

When i took acid and this song played while i was tripping on the bed on 260mg i felt a very powerful love sensation, such a great experience.

[@jaycd.]

I can watch these for hours holy shit dude

[@AndrewClaw]

Amazing work, please keep making these!

[@TheRealToaster2]

I'm surprised to see a remake of this! Although I came across this pretty late upon remembering TOPAZ. Nice to see this in HD, and with more polished torch placement. Good job! And that's crazy how you made a 360 version!

[@zombieassaultman]

This is easily the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Thank you for the amount of work you put in to make this video happen. Edit: By the way, this mod is super cool. I had to try it for myself, maxing the render distance really does create interesting results.

[@davidtaylor5220]

keep up the good work bud, cant wait for V3!

[@toastcoast]

There needs to be more stuff like this on KZbin.

[@papap9477]

Wow, absolutely amazing. So creative and unique. Love it, cant wait to watch more :)

[@byeshyguy]

Ya done it again, Bruce. I really got into Topaz after these vids as well

[@SVAFnemesis]

I'm glad to see today there are still people who do these kind of video. I had a railway video as well and I plan to render it with light tracing render engine in future.

[@xxlily_billy]

Amazing, I love this. I sub to you BTW! Great Job making the music sync.

[@MoiraiScarlet]

This video made me high in 3 minutes. And the torch beat soothes my OCD soul. 10/10 will get high again.

[@callumreid2371]

Definitely can get high off some trippy KZbin vid. smh

[@timepassed1720]

The old minecraft : roses, dark cobblestones, few biomes, dry grass...

[@ragdolleopard]

Okay, this is my new favourite video.

[@iamtherealjaxon]

A brilliant and unique Minecraft video, well done.

[@__Cal_]

This is what you see when you get to the forgotten lands of minecraft

[@s0ul82]

I don’t know why, but this makes me *so* inspired

[@paigelore]

dosent always do it and not sure if its intentional but there's a really cool vibe here when the beat matches up with the torches... fantastic video great work :)

[@ThePiprian]

awesome. I can't wait for 3 to come out!

[@priscillavlogsbackup.2245]

omg this should be the music video of the song because the cobblestone blocks with the torches,synchronizes with the beat. Overall this was a Good Job. :)

[@TrigitalDesign]

These are the best kind of videos on youtube bruh

[@Ponytamin]

The best video about minecraft ever! I love it!

[@lallau]

it really looks impressive, good work

[@TheParcoshell]

Watched this while cooked, it felt like the video went for 6 years. Holy shit this is so amazing

[@SyvernSycor]

This is great. I have no idea how you made it, but still, fantastic work. [:

[@javierlayne1837]

Nice to see a new version of this, the original was sick :D

[@MangoTangoFox]

Looks absolutely unbelievable at 2x speed on a 120hz ULMB display. It’s even 1440P footage if you have something like the Acer Predator or ROG Swift. I showed my dad and a friend and it blew their minds. It's crazy realizing how unique that experience is. ULMB displays are extraordinarily rare to begin with, and in 15K views, I'd bet I'm the only one to do it. Is the motion-blur that occurs past the 16 second mark, synthetic (done in post)? If so, can you PLEASE upload a version identical to this but without the blur? This could be an incredible resource for demonstrating framerate and clarity of motion, but the motion blur hinders it a bit. I understand if it's simply a result of the process that made the video, but if it's post processing it should be easy enough to fix. Thanks regardless! :D Side Note: The 1.2GB 1440P file is so high bitrate to begin with, that even my 3770K using MPC-HC couldn't handle it at 2x playback speed. 46,978 kbps doubled to 93,956 kbps. Maybe another player could handle it properly, I'd need to test. It seems counter-intuitive, but KZbin's compression and HTML5 player might just be the best way to reliably pull it off with zero hitching. 1080@120 fullscreen only saw 15% CPU usage, with 1440@120 (downsampling) hit around 35%. GPU hardware accel might be helping considerably as well.

[@MiningGodBruce]

+MangoTangoFox I was actually going record and release this in 144 hz, but After Effects and Sony Vegas both have issues with anything 100hz or over. The motion blur is done in post, but unfortunately I deleted my recording files just last night, because I needed space for recording new stuff. If you're having issues decoding the video when you should look at your video decoder options. I'm not sure how you installed MPC, but if you did it without any additional codec pack, you may want to go download LAV or something and try hardware decoding. On another note I'm wondering where you found this video? In the initial 5 days it was up it only got 5k views, but it's gotten more than double that in just the past few hours.

[@MangoTangoFox]

MiningGodBruce Kotaku posted it (typical kotaku endlessly posting other people's content >.>). Though at least they used your name as a link to the video, along with a standard embed. I have MPC from SVP, and I really only use it for that (real time frame interpolation). Really not sure how it's setup as it came pre-tailored.

[@MiningGodBruce]

+MangoTangoFox O wow. The article consists of 3 sentences and an excerpt from the description. No effort, but the fact that they're promoting effort sorta makes up for it. I was typing out instructions to try and help you install LAV without screwing up SVP, but then I realized I don't have any idea what I'm doing and I'm just gonna fuck your configuration up. I've spent hours messing around with K-Lite and SVP, it's a big hassle when you screw something up, and I don't think trying LAV out would even be worth it considering the situation I had trying to playback some of the omni-directional files.

[@HauntedAbysss]

+MangoTangoFox I just tried this AMazing!! Also .5 speed is sweet too. This is better then ACID ... Seriously when im down im going to smoke a bowl and watch this video on repeat =D.I would love to see more even a Prodigy remix .. My thought was... Was it going straight the whole time.? or not

[@herrcaco1528]

sorry i dont work at nasa

[@ONETTH]

this is hypnotizing

[@thomassmith2255]

i came back on actual acid and this is crazy

[@punkkap]

Dude this is so sick. Downloading the 60fps version atm. 10 mbps :3

[@MagicalNekoNotes]

wow this is truly amazing! the music and visual is awesome! I wonder if the musician will let me use his music in my minecraft videos sometime.

[@HomestyleDrift]

These need to go forever

[@letwins3144]

have tried this on acid - it was amazing

[@eikesur3650]

✨It's so relaxing✨

[@MikeGessAliton]

love it! Hopefully to riding more explorer like Lava, volcano, underwater and other things would be nice :)

[@brandonhemmie4890]

Nice work.

[@quoryx1165]

ive watched this while drunk. man that was an experience

[@Joestrange8]

proud of you

[@lordvgames]

at least we know you're back :D

[@MiningGodBruce]

+LordVGames Dunno lad, I never really went anywhere, and this is probably not a good time to say I'm back. Acid Interstate V3 is becoming a huge amount of work (I'm currently re-writing all of SUES) and I'm spending a lot more time on school now that I'm not home-schooled anymore. It kills me, but I can't see V3 being done before like summer 2016.

[@jamesoleruster]

+MiningGodBruce You're in no rush. Quality > Speed

[@RBTGamming]

is the warp effect a shader? If so, what's it's name?

[@MiningGodBruce]

Royal Tyger's Media "Acid Shaders"

[@RBTGamming]

MiningGodBruce Thanks!!

[@tickledonions9483]

This music is so addicting lol

[@creaper3538]

When you take 3 vitamin gummies instead of 2.

[@taironhunter6478]

Cada cierto tiempo vengo aquí a ver este vídeo XD Si estás drogo te atrapa

[@harryhartstone2254]

watched tis while listening to complexion by kendrick lamar and the torches lined up with the beats. nice

[@supersaiyanswag]

sick video and the song is great. I just bought EP.

[@Zhenchat]

Thats AMAZING! But this nightmare.

[@batcat2338]

AMAZING

[@ReasonMakes]

Just amazing. So satisfying to watch. I was bobbing my head the whole video xD By the way, it's a lot to explain I'm sure, but may I ask how you pulled this off? The timing is what I'm most interested in, but having that omnidirectional recording to get the acid effect is also awesome.

[@ReasonMakes]

***** Thanks for your reply, but the steadiness of the camera has nothing to do with what I was asking about.

[@MiningGodBruce]

+Vaysm The basis of the syncing in the video is that I was able to get a consistent recording, exact same frames in exactly the same position, over multiple recording sessions. This enables me to record the video with the coordinate screen open, and get precise coordinates to beat positions. "Synced-session recording" is something that I came up with way back when I made the original version of this video in 2013, and refining it was the pre-requisite to a few other techniques I used for this V1 remake, namely the omni-directional version, which required 6 perfectly synced recordings.

[@MiningGodBruce]

+Vaysm Didn't realize your comment went 5 months without a reply. I need to pay more attention because I get a lot of legitimate comments that I would like to reply too, but don't, because I glaze over when I check my comment notifications.

[@ReasonMakes]

+MiningGodBruce Oh my GOD, THAT'S what you did? That's an impressive amount of work. My first thought was that you looked at the transients in the wave form of the song to get the beat timings, and then calculated the speed of the minecart and distance of the track to get the relative coordinates to sync up. Awesome stuff

[@MiningGodBruce]

Vaysm That might have worked, but I don't follow a rigid tempo for the whole video, so it would have been somewhat annoying to figure out (not that my method was that great).

[@alijordana7269]

thank u

[@xSoporific1]

Memories

[@alexflu2]

could you do this with the new biomes? maybe throw in some villages and temples!

[@9nini654]

I'm going to need therapy after this

[@liekish]

this is amaze

[@Regularman-nd5yq]

Wow❗️❗️amazing :D

[@lukebrabbee1083]

the torches are on beat w the music

[@grease253]

That's the world edge!!!

[@rossi_chan]

I wish minecraft was like this

[@flameknight7]

took me a bit to notice the torches were matching the beat

[@knownfancynickballer577]

So cool

[@corbanx0809]

+MiningGodBruce no cubes for the "clap"-sounds? meeehhh just kidding ^^ it's just brilliant.. awesome & impressive work.. congratz

[@Rohishimoto]

i love you

[@kRVRKV]

as I understand this video is sped up a bit, so you had to slow down the song to sync all these torches or how did you actually make it? it's crazy

[@r-labs9357]

This thing gone lightspeed

[@batcat2338]

This more beautiful that real life!😂

[@NOOBandBRO]

is there a way you can upload a 720p version..can't play the 1440 :( not good enough cpu. from the download

[@michaelbaumgarten2716]

FINALLY SOMETHING YESSS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH NOTICE ME SENPAIIIIII

[@MiningGodBruce]

+michael baumgarten yo kid wanna hook up ?

[@michaelbaumgarten2716]

*genitals immediately melt*

[@olvrs]

Now its 2020 this is wild haha

[@kevinguerrero2887]

Minggodbruce would you make another videos like on others servers it will be awesome.For suggestions you can play factions,survival games and tons more.I was just saying it would be pretty cool to see to play

[@asphinx8593]

I think what makes it really weird is cause it's something we know (Minecraft) but altered.

[@JASCSeries]

what happend to me i blank out (awesome video i enjoyed it looks amazing )

[@rickyg930]

Bruh this shit right here💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👏🏿

[@renahollwedel3302]

It really was filmed in the farlands biome of Minecraft lol

[@theencore398]

when they say far lands is 12 million blocks away so you show them it in *12 snorts*

[@ugi_art]

Special

[@NutchapolSal]

Tried it with 60fps 2x Speed Amazing.

[@Playos-ok1dc]

I thought acid interstate V2 was getting remade.

[@saganmcvander636]

it's like I get high.... and then I fly

[@xxAmanderrxx]

Do you know if TOPAZ's music is accessible through spotify?

[@JDee2117]

I need answer is this meant to watch while on acid or does it represent when ur under influence

[@tommasomaruffi1306]

"Hold up guys I'm looking for who tf asked, it might take a while"

[@williscraft7425]

AAAHEEEEOUUUUU EEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU I felt that

[@jumpsplat120]

Awww yiss

[@xavierearnst6245]

anyway you can make this video vr so I can watch it with my google cardboard?

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

you game looks so milky and smooth lol

[@OptimisticPessimist]

The video is playing at 8 times the original speed. Meaning that even a measly 20 fps becomes an amazing 160.

[@metaliamusalam]

the far lands i have seen one in a wiel ago ive travel lots and lots of block to see the far lands

[@ToyotaGRYaris22]

When you drink the wrong potion

[@APoisonousTree]

NIce work! Posts are too close for a train. Unless the vehicle fits within the track. Sometimes the track in front doesn't match what's going on ahead. Makes it feel disjointed.

[@MiningGodBruce]

+Daniel Hicks The vehicle actually does fit within the track, however this is the first video in the series to lack an actual vehicle. It wasn't included because it's not compatible with the recording workflow I used, and because it's only within the field of view during the first few seconds of the video. I don't quite understand your second comment, could you clarify? Thanks for being constructive.

[@APoisonousTree]

+MiningGodBruce MGB: Hello, I see that it was my perspective that was off. Some of the curves of the track ahead did not seem to match as it came closer, then I realized that all of the track is seamlessly put together. Very creative work, congratulations and thank you. Daniel

[@mufasas111]

not on acid. still feels gud 2 watch

[@Woodraft]

neat o friend o
