MIDI Animation

This is an abstract musical animation created with MIDI data instead of traditional key frames. The song is an original composition recorded with FLStudio. I created several custom channel operators for Houdini to help process the MIDI information and animate the instruments.

awesome !

how hard is it to configure houdini to read midi file or does the software already has this function ?

[KilltheSand]

Houdini Master comes with MIDI channel operators that will identify when MIDI events occur. That did the majority of the MIDI work but I still had to write custom channel operators to find out extra information such as the duration of the current note. After that it's a matter of creative math and scripting to transform the binary MIDI information into 3d animation.

Yeah. That's the one.  I didn't realise there was quite a collection of them. I thought the one nvidia chose was the best of the bunch.

Could you make me some psychedelic music with this kinda stuff? o.O

I used Houdini VERY briefly, but this was a superb operator. Kinda reminds me of the nvidia tech demo of all the balls hitting the musical instruments. Cool!
