For Bill Hancoc: It took about a month to make.
For KenWittlief: It would be easy to change the camera view, the problem is the render time. I'll probably get around to it eventually.
For Fimmel: I used The trial version of acid xpress 5 to make the music, And plain old 3dsmax6 for the actual animation. Everything you see was keyframed, no plug-ins or anything.
P.S. Have you guys ever seen animusic? Its really awesome and it was made on 3dsmax too. (that's where I got the idea for this)
Thanks for your opinions on this, it really means a lot to me.  |
Ya, I saw an amazing Animusic at Fry's that I've been wanting to duplicate (I mean, I was inspired by it), once I find time to wrap my head around MaxScript. It had pipes shooting tons of metal balls that just happened to hit instruments (marimba, drums, etc.) to make a melody. Truly fantastic.
It's pretty obvious where you got your idea, and it's pretty good - I like it.
