Magic Music Visuals

i use several 3D software, but for this project i used iclone - reallusion.com - easy to make stuff fast with it. for the effects i use hitfilm.com and sony movie studio, for the most part i use mocap data, but I also keyframe motions as well. this is one free library of mocap data - http://mocap.cs...

Thank you, it's not as hard as it sounds - especially with all the new 3D tools out, coming up with ideas to film was harder actually - cheers

Here's a video I made for a track I released called "Scream" - I incorporated Magic for some of the background textures and random eye candy clips. Music and animation by me. My main genre is dance / house / edm - but I have fun making rock too and this was one of my left-field projects - ...

ahh, yes, the manual!! I should comb through it more, I did an initial scan / search but didn't find anything so thanks for pointing that out! you did a great job with gui so i've never had to refer to it, it might be time heh!! again, great job on this project, please make more like it - would be n...

yes, I was studying the project but I can't make heads or tails of how it works hehehe = some of the entries, at least as I see them, are non expandable, which is what made me think it was a custom coding thing. Edit - admittedly i haven't dived deep into the technical side yet, and for the most par...

really nice work Eric, is this something a user can make from scratch or a custom coded developer exclusive thing ?

and if any user can make from scratch, can you please explain the concept behind a project like these ?

Cheers

thanks for this, can't say that I know much more beyond what I've posted so far, I do know that youtube is aiming for 4k - so I'm sure eventually they will have better options. The best result I've had so far is to render out the default 60 fps , import that into sony movie studio , and re-render - ...

I have no idea to be honest, you can view the page source and code - I was able to see the whole script - but had no idea what I was looking at lol - I found it doing research for an artificial intelligence software company - they were looking for new ways to make talking heads for their chatbot wit...

i suppose a simple work around, would be to film the footage from the fractal software and just run an infinite 10-20 second loop or just program a longer loop with the shader, it doesn't have to be controllable in the zooms - what I'm really aiming more for is a longer loop - something more of a jo...

I think i just figured out why the crunch - by default magic renders at 60 fps, and youtube was capped at 30 - so my sony bounce apparently just lowered the fps as a fix. but apparently that has ..or is about to change according to this article - http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/29/7121143/youtube-ad...

sweet, thank you. That's actually why I brought it up, I noticed how great the fractals look in the shader, but it would be nice to be able to journey through it, as opposed to just a hypnotic loop. It's what reminded me of this other software. and yeah, the software is a bit complex, I'm learning h...

Not sure if this is possible, but something like this, where the software procedurally generates a fractal world , and you can zoom infinitely. Then add random lights to make it look like the lights in the distance are pulsating on beat, or even having the fractal change shape to the music :idea: wo...

can't say I know much of the topic other than what my ocd causes me to research in my 3D adventure lol I don't know if these links will help, but I've seen apps built on them the real player sdk http://forms.real.com/rnforms/resources/server/realsystemsdk/ this is codec pack that works well for me t...

I did an upload of a quick video I made with magic, direct upload and youtube apparently re-encodes it , and it came back looking really grungy and nowhere near what I got out of magic.. - are there any settings I'm missing to make the export more youtube friendly ? I know how to address this with o...

sweet, I'm excited to see where you go with this!! Thank you for allowing us input! Cheers

I was just thinking about the same thing, something like the logic audio timeline - where you have the automation graph - every plug in you add and can select individual parameters to draw a line graph for parameter changes and instead of dropping audio files, we drop video files would be helpful fo...

here's another I made - all done in magic including logo - nothing fancy, just a simple visual for the track. *video thumbnail was made in iclone.

Thank You Eric, :D I didn't think of that, and it's good to know!! - I also use the hitfilm / sony vegas combo ( also very cool to use with composite magic footage btw! - www.hitfilm.com ) , so I could assemble the png sequence there - iclone doesn't take the png sequence straight so I'd have to mak...

Thank You

I'm importing the magic visual to iclone ( www.reallusion.com ) and exporting from there.

cheers,

Ricky

Hi All, I make music, and currently learning 3D animation to make videos for my song releases- I've been experimenting with incorporating footage from magic in my scenes. - which it would be nice if we had avi export, the software I'm using doesn't favor mp4 for synch reasons. - Cheers :) http://you...

I'm using a software called iclone - reallusion.com - that has a kinect mocap plug in system and drivers to connect in pc - not sure how you would use kinect with magic, but sounds interesting. which btw, iclone is an amazing companion software to magic, I'm using that along with project dogwaffle, ...

I'm in! :) Love the product, very smooth / stable and innovative. Perfect for my needs. I make music ( my own label ) and animation /cg, always on the look out for unique things!! Can't wait to see where you guys go with this! Very happy about this, especially in it's simplicity, intuitiveness and a...
