WHY
In the world of Architecture and Design, the factor of TIME is usually all about schedules and deadlines, right? But this project? It's a different ball game. It's like stepping into the unknown, adding that 4D spark to my work, a LIVE PERFORMANCE. Think of it as creating something, putting in the hours of TRAINING, and then diving into the thrill of going live.
HOW
So, here's where the magic happens. I turned to BLENDER 3D and did some research. I connected my MIDI CONTROLLER to Geometry Nodes, turning my workspace into this dynamic PARAMETRIC DESIGN canvas. The best part? With this setup, I can make a lot with Blender, controlling almost whatever I want. Yep, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES right there.
WHAT
Finally – a mesmerizing LIVE ANIMATION that grooves to the music, just happening right there, ON THE GO!
I think this could be applied to a lot of variables in Blender. A couple of important facts are:
Evee, Blender fast rendering engine, allows me to have video in real time.
Scene preparation, having in mind wich material effects and camera setup is best for the performance.
Editable Parameters, as the most important thing is to kind of match the music feeling with the geometry.
MIDI Controller, for the first time I can tweak more than one value at the same time in Blender.
It's like being a DJ, but instead of spinning records, I'm crafting visuals flowing with the music.
it's LIVE ART, just press Play and check it out!
MIDI CONTROLLER Imputs, into Geometry Nodes. Some Live action on the GIFs below.
This was my first time recording. I need to keep training my skills to be better on the go.
Still working on some stuff like, Live rendering quality with Evee on Blender. It's all about balance between the amount of data to render (Geometry) and my Hardware capabilities at the momment. Beat-matching with the Music and more..
I want to give some credit to the Blender Community.
And of course some credit to the Addon used in this project. AddRoutes.
Next in mind is to make some live broadcasting with this setup, and maybe doing some DJing as well.
This is just the beggining ;) Thank you!
