Animation Node experiment - Particle cluster

Nikolaus Gradwohl2015-10-21T06:10:02+00:00

I recenly started experimenting with the animation nodes addon by Jacques Lucke. It´s really nice and as Nicolas Priniotakis from blender nation said in his review - If you install this addon you're hooked.

For this animation I used the particle cluster nodes from the animation nodes addon

multivew experiment 2

Nikolaus Gradwohl2015-10-19T06:25:13+00:00

This animation was rendered with 3 cameras simultaneous in blender. This time I used the new mutliview feature of blender 2.76 which has been build to support the rendering of 3D files, but is not limited to stereoscopic setups. It´s also possible to treat each camera different in the compositing editor

A Bitwig-Studio Controller Script for Yamaha MX49 and MX61

Nikolaus Gradwohl2015-10-16T08:37:27+00:00

I wrote a bitwig-studio controller script for the yamaha MX49 and MX61 keyboards

you can download it from my github page

to install copy the files to your 'Bitwig Studio/Controller Scripts/' Folder

I mapped the 4 knobs to macro 1-4 on page 1

to macro 5-8 on page 2

and to volume, pan, send1 and send2 of the selected channel on page 3

"AddInst Track" creates a new Instrument Track

and "VSTi Window" opens the device browser.

umbrellas

Nikolaus Gradwohl2015-10-15T06:06:21+00:00

for this animation I modeled an umbrella and animated the opening effect using shapekeys. Then I used this umbrella as a particle in a particle system on a plane. I wanted to render the animation from multiple camera angles and ended up copying everything to 4 different scenes - which is far more complicated than I wanted - I have to do a bit more research on this

an ambient track that started with slowing down a loop veeeeeery much in bitwig

fluid bubbles

Nikolaus Gradwohl2015-10-08T06:29:11+00:00

for this animation I used 2 particle systems. A newton system for the smaller bubbles and fluid system with an iso-surface for the large bubbles
