500 particles and 1 to 5 invisible gravity orbs.
Finally got it to be a little more audio responsive. It still needs some work (seems to hectic and only barely relates to the music which is controlling it), but I think I know what I need to do next.
Right now, there are 3 main things going on with the audio triggers. 1) The Gravity orbs change their radius and charge strength based on the amplitude of the frequencies they are associated with, 2) The ribbon trails reflect the velocity of each particle and its previous positions so when the Gravity orb increases in size, the ribbons get kicked out nearly immediately and end up looking fairly in sync with the audio, and 3) the failed trigger.
For the third trigger, I am having the main particles also associate with the audio but I want the form to stay fairly radially symmetrical so I cant do what I have in the past and that is to simply let each particle associate with a randomly selected frequency and let them do their thing. Instead, I have oriented the Gravity orbs along the x axis and I tell each particle to change its charge and radius based on where it lies along the x axis. The ones with larger x value reflect the audio first, and the ones with the smallest (negative) x value reflect the audio last. I had hope the result would be a cascade of color along the length of the form but my calculations are off. It takes too long for the first particle to show the audio influence, and it takes too long for the audio to travel down the length of the form.
But I think it has some great potential. I envision a group of bioluminescent jellyfish or cuttlefish with their chromatophores responding to audio. Who knows if I will ever get there. But this is what I have so far. Check out the 70 Meg Quicktime version or view the Vimeo one below. The audio is 90 seconds pulled from a Karri O. mix.
i love your works.
is it just use java?
Thanks. Its all Java with some JOGL thrown in for good times.
this reminds me of the Gantz Graf video.. but more organic..
both being very good things (imo)
holy shit! I think I just soiled myself! best one yet!
very impressive…
Reckon you could incorporate this into a winamp visualisation plugin? Or is it far too complicated?
Yeah im wondering about the Winamp Viz as well…
The best for Winamp ive seen so far is R4….

Both the display and the music are kickass. What is the name of the song by Karri O????????
hey! i love this strand of ur experiments the best, partly due to the great track u threw in there. Works very well with the visualisation, especially the bass explosions.

[...] Robert Hodgin has released a fantastic iTunes visualizer, based on his mind-blowing processing experiments. I’ve never been a fan of visualizers in the past, probably because they typically look like something from an early 70’s sci-fi TV show (and not in a good way). In contrast this thing is all smooth organic 3-d motion and lovely glowing orbs. [?] Share This [...]
Hey,
I love the music in that video clip…I know the artist but am not sure which track it’s taken from.
Could you help me out?
Sorry, I just dont know. It was a DJ mix that a friend sent me.
this is amazing…. and is done in processing..is there a tutorial or link something to learn this? it is so great.. do you mind sharing how it was created and inspirer other artists? this is so great.. is like a new movement of art.. with codes
Dude a wonderfull mindfuck!! Nice work….
About the music, can you ask yur friend?
I need to listen to it aaarg perfect combi!!
Информации, уверен, и так вполне доÑтаточно, чтобы Ñделать вывод, как не надо делать.
