Hey guys... Lets make a Competition !

[Kvasnik]

hi so I will submit a project also (with 3/4 scenes), with some music.

In case the project is not used I wouldn't mind contributing just the music. I plan to make some new 1 minute track for the competition, some fairly basic and mild techno, but if anybody needs music to use you can check my soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/kvasnik) and scroll down past some of the more weird music I have there What I'll make though will be more mainstream / standard production than what I have on soundcloud.

Not fussed about money for the music as I can relate to wanting copyright-free material (my student film-making days).

Another possibility is to split the track into parts (e.g. kick drum, synths, bass). It's what I plan for the magic project I'll contribute.

Just a heads up till I come up with something.

Yes, thanks Eric, I now understand what you are asking.. I realise you basically just want magic to have full focus, hence my video(s) are too full of other things..

Will try and see if I can do some videos just using magic and music.

Thanks.

So here is a little scene for showing of how to handle the random modifier

Hey Eric, Merry Christmas !

Could you please give a link for a high resolution logo of magic ! It could be usefull for your competition ! Thanks !

[Magic]

Sure, try this: http://downloads.magicmusicvisuals.com/ ... 24x768.png

Is that big enough? I can post a bigger one, but it would use a lot of VRAM (in Magic).

A few people emailed me and asked if they can have a bit more time for the competition. I don't think it would hurt too much to extend it for another week, so I'll accept submissions until Sunday, January 10. I hope you all had good holidays -- now get back to work!

Ok so here is my entry. I decided to make it without any external plugin (Isf, glsl, ffgl). Maybe i could have come up with something more complex but this way is a good promotional video as it can show up what magic can do on its own. I had fun doing this and hope that even if i do not win this competition, this entry will still be recycled in magic in any way !

Listen fullscreen, 1080p and volume high for best experience :

I can't wait to see your entry guys !

Edit : i uploaded a version that runs at minimum 25 fps on my out dated system, but runs at 35-40 Fps most of the project. This version also contains all assets

So I am gonna try my best to get a video out to you by Sunday. Just saw this now so idk we will see if i make anything up to my standards.

[jsljustin]

Sorry I was unable to contribute, in the end my recording computers' motherboard died and I was unable to get a song down for this..

Hope you get some good entries Eric, and thanks for the competition..

Cheers

I also had a week full of Murphy's Law. Anyway, don't know if this qualifies but here's mine.............

Hopefully comp 2.magic in the above directory will be acceptable as my last-moment entry - I've had very little time to work on Magic but wanted to submit something that featured waveforms.

It's a sample project rather than a full Magic "showreel", using multi-track sound which has been further filtered with the aim of producing clean waveforms. I didn't quite finish it, and there's a lot of cleaning up to do.

I'll render it as it stands, as my formal entry, but will make a further cleaned-up version.

Edit: I finally got the video to render. I'd left the default Stereo Mix feeding "Input 0" on the last three scenes, rather than using one of my audio files, so unsurprisingly those scenes rendered black. I didn't have time before the deadline to look at (or tune) these scenes (which came from an experimental project) and there are still missing FFGL edge detection modules so they're not as intended. This whole project is really just a combination of such experiments - I hadn't got enough time to extract all I wanted from my past work, or to successfully replace the FFGL modules with ISF equivalents.

I didn't want to post this publicly as it's really not finished

I substituted MP3 files for the WAV's in my original submission.
comp 2a1.magic is the unfinished project file I submitted just-in-time, 2a2.magic is the version with the correct final scenes that I finished later.

Updated video with correct final scenes. The last scene shows all the waveforms.

I love the Droste effect Terry used in his submission. I am NOT a coder, but I tinkered with the .fs file to turn the Branches and Scale constants into sliders with a range of -100.0 to 100.0 and to take image input. Some of you may find it useful.

At most values, there's a rhythmic "pumping" of the magnification instead of the smooth scaling that occurs with scale set to the default of 0 .5

Any math genuises here know why this might happen? I'm very curious.

Cheers!

That's really cool - thanks for sharing! It's so much more versatile. I see what you mean by the "pumping" - but I can't at the moment see why.

Thanks very much to all of you for your contributions!

Firstly, I'm going to improve upon my initial offer and give a free product key to everyone who created a video -- TanookiMonk, Deskmate, and Terry Payman. (If I've missed anyone, please let me know.) Please send me a private message with your e-mail address and let me know if you want an activation added to your existing key, or if you want a separate new key.

Secondly, although I don't think I'm going to put any videos on the web site's home page, I've decided to create a new Gallery page for the "best-of" user-submitted videos. Tanooki and Terry, I will put your videos at the top, and I'm going to split the cash prize between you two . So in your e-mail, also tell me how I can send you $125 USD. Deskmate, I enjoyed your video but it has a bit too much "default" content (from existing sample projects) for me to use on the web site.

Thanks again to everyone, and I hope we can have another competition later this year. I'll be looking to add more user-submitted videos to the new Gallery page, so start thinking about what you'd like to create!

[TanookiMonk]

Hey thanks Eric ! This is great !! Congrats to you Terry and deskmate ! This new video section will be very cool !

[Terry Payman]

Very generous! Thanks Eric!

[Kvasnik]

Sorry I missed this one, I have been pretty busy with other projects. I saw Tanooki's video and thought it was great - better than what I would come up with!
