Title: Raum / Zeit Post by: Subdream on April 27, 2011, 12:23:07 AM Hello there,
I was lurking for quite some time as I am not really much of a forum person. Now, finally, I have a reason to... thank you all, lovely forum people! Why? Well, I made a little animation during the last 4-5 months, using the amazing software provided by Buddhi and Jesse. My humble quadcore was rendering almost the whole time 24/7 (disregarding outtakes, about 2 months worth of rendering time went into the final version). I released it at the Revision 2011 (http://www.revision-party.net/) Demoparty in Saarbrücken, Germany, where it made 2nd place in the Animation/Video competition. All this would not have been possible without the hints and parameters I found here, which I used as starting points for modification and exploration of some of the scenes (you may recognize some). ;) So without further ado, here is the animation I am rambling about: http://www.youtube.com/v/mHNZpGMtK6k?fs=1&hd=1 (thanks to the nice person who uploaded this to youtube - I hope I did not screw up the link =) The full quality 720p HD video can be downloaded here: http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/parties/2011/revision11/animation/subdream-raum_zeit.mp4 (http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/parties/2011/revision11/animation/subdream-raum_zeit.mp4) Hope You like it. And keep up the good work! Best Regards, Mic Title: Re: Raum / Zeit Post by: public_v0id on April 27, 2011, 08:55:52 AM Wow!!
One of the greatest works I saw so far. Love every little detail about it, especially the railroadtrack at 3:34 and the stuff afterwards. What's the background music? Really, really awesome work!! Speechless greetings, d0lphchrist Title: Re: Raum / Zeit Post by: Subdream on April 27, 2011, 11:19:11 PM Thank you, d0lphchrist :)
The music is my own creation and was made especially for this animation. In fact, the reason I started playing with those fractals - apart from looking absolutley fantastic - was, that i was thinking this may be a nice and easy way to create visualisations for my music. And at this point I went horribly wrong - esp. with the "easy" part. ;) The project grew as my fascination grew. It would probably never have come to an end, if I would not have set myself a deadline in form of the Revision 2011 (http://www.revision-party.net/) demoparty this easter. Best Regards, Mic.

you know, i like fractal animations with deformations a lot! well done!

Yay, great work on the music! I also create music sometimes, mainly Drum'n'Bass, Psytrance and Breakcore. Would love to have your equalizing skills :) I also thought about using fractals for music videos. Mandelbulber had a feature where you could automate parameters to different frequency bands of an audio file, but the feature got removed because it was too buggy :( ( http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?topic=6301.0 ). It's a pitty that the Revision 2011 is already over, I live in Freiburg and have semester break right now, would have been only a few hours to Saarbrücken :D What was the result of the contest? Did you win? Was searching on the Revision page, but haven't found any results/demos.

Glad You like it. Yes, Revision is the successor to Breakpoint. In fact, about half of the orga-team is still the same. And it showed - the organisation of the event was really good. This, together with the location inside a large old generator hall and the overall very friendly atmosphere, made it a special experience. And when speaking of Revision, there were some other impressive releases which are based on fractals: "Where are they?" by FRequency (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56848). Custom made renderer, really nice animation. "Electronenmultiplizierer" by Akronyme Analogiker (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=56860). 4k realtime Sierpinski-based fractal rendered on the GPU only. Very smooth.

Did you win? Was searching on the Revision page, but haven't found any results/demos. Oh, proper equalisation is an art I'm still far from mastering. I think I was lucky that it was turning out good enough. I knew of the manipulation-by-sound feature, but really never tried it, as I made the music halfway though the the project. But hopefully it will make a comeback at some time in the future, as it sounds very interesting. Regarding the results, they are now available "officially": http://www.revision-party.net/history/2011 (http://www.revision-party.net/history/2011) And concerning missing Revision... well, there will be another easter next year. :D Best Regards, Mic. |
