I remember when these demos were new.....and they were absolutely mind blowing! And they are still rather beautiful even now.

[@venzoah]

Fun fact: The guy who created this, Wayne Lytle, wrote custom software that allows you to rig up the 3D instruments and plug in notation in the form of a MIDI file. The instruments would then animate themselves according to the notes written in the file. That means every note is 100% accurate and the instruments are not being animated to the music, but rather the music is animating the instruments.

[@stylis666]

That is indeed a fun fact! Thanks! It's quite impressive and beautiful.

@Meme_Cave unfortunately it is also told that he is a perfectionist and could not meet his own high standards. At one point he suggested that he would make the software available for people willing to pay for it but never actually released it because it didn't match what he wanted it to. Maybe someday someone could work to bring that project out of the grave 😔

Whoever did this will forever be a legend. This is pioneering 3D physics and the fact every single hit and note follows the pattern 100% perfectly and realistically is beyond unreal. Honestly? I think one day this will remembered as one of the greatest creations of our time. This is the Mona Lisa of 3D animation. Edit : the music itself is remarkably interesting as well!

[@SpykeZ0129]

This was made back in the like, the 90s and was mostly forgotten lol

[@PhantomFox77]

Even better, it's procedural animation driven by a midi file. You feed it a different song, and it'll play it. Like, there's a note at X time, so I need to start the animation Y seconds ago and does the whole song like that. Of course camera and lighting needs to be redone. They made a Pipe Dream 2 to demonstrate all this.

Music classes, 4th grade, teacher would roll out that ancient CRT screen that had a bit of fading to it, the DVD reader sounded like a jet engine at full tilt, the speakers were old and occasionally crackled, she'd slide a DVD into the reader, it had this wacky design of what looked like some bendy sticks on it, you wouldn't think much of it until your ears were graced with the sounds and your eyes were graced with the visuals of *Animusic.*

This video is, I believe, from 2001. So from the ancient times, when we were downloading stuff from the internet with an ADSL modem. With internet speeds up to 2 Mb/s (but no one could afford such fast lines, mere mortals had 256 kb/s, 512 kb/s lines). And we were burning that downloaded stuff on a CD (if one was lucky to have a CD-ROM with a burner. And then we would carry the precious CD over to friends to share music, funny videos and pics with them. Alternatively, we would use an HDD in a carry tray ...risking dropping it and destroying the drive. And the precious content, that took hours and days to download.

The facility has been there forever, since the dawn of the universe. It's immutable, not designed by anything or anyone. It has been silent since the beginning of time, but in this very moment, right now, it moved and created sound, music. Only for this moment-and then it returned to its immutable silence. There’s nobody there to wonder why. It simply is.

[@creamygoodness4440]

What amazes me with these higher resolution videos, is now noticing all the little details in each animation, like all the little scuff marks, or little dents in the instruments. Not something you can tell in the old videos that are only in like 480p

I'm making the bold assumption here that you used the BluRay to upscale the 1080i to 4K, otherwise the only way to gt this quality would be to have access to the source material somehow (like the actual Animusic Studio software). Edit: Judging by the motion blur trails of the marbles when going frame by frame, this definitely smells like upscale to me. Still, good on ya, this is an insanely good quality upscale and can definitely pass as the real thing.
