A development animation of a future robotic performance from a longer musical work. This video is culled from the "dailies" created with the 3D program Bryce.
Collectively, all animated robotic performers are my band "Toying With Mortality." Check out "Mythical Johnny" if you like this.
Animated with Bryce. My MIDI program tells me on which frame a sound occurs. In Bryce I set the strike on the correct frame, back up a few frames to set up the swing and then cut and paste along the timeline as called for. A spread sheet also helps me keep track of what happens when.
This is very simple and I urge you to give it a shot using any 3D animation program (primitive shapes are fine) and MIDI program the provides time and frame count and a spread sheet app. Enjoy!

Awesome! I never thought of that. I'll have to try that with Cubase.

Let me know when you have something to show. I'm all about people being curious and constructive.
