Strange thing

Hi all :smile: ,
I want to show you a strange thing hehe, this afternoon I have some time to kill and I have decided to reuse an old scene build with a friend during a night.
The concept is to make something in the viewport of 3dsmax with a good CGcard and to animate it with music, don’t pay attention to the music, and you probably must be drunk to appréciate this stuff (and to make this :lol: ).
Problem is frame rate of course, but with just a capture software to make the render it’s really cool.
Music is Chemical Brothers (live at Santiago de Chilie)
I hope you will like it.
So to resume: screenshot and after effect.
The image doesn’t match very good with the music but it was made in 3h.
file is around 13meg.

laurent, this is amazing
for a screen capture plus a little post work its worthy of having the chemical brothers music behind it!

What the hell did i just watch… :lol:

I would be interested to watch it without the post work.

Hey that’s sweet! and I am stone sober :stuck_out_tongue:

5

for once… :lol:

whatch it punk :stuck_out_tongue:

:lol: :wink:

Hey thanks cool that you like it “sober” hehehe
here some screen shot without effect :wink: .

Interesting…

Thanks mate :slight_smile:

Hey thats great … perhaps you could get the BPM from the track and some how tie that in with the frame rate ?

11

Thats awesome…

Problem with the frame rate is:
When you puch the play button in max in smooth view, the card couldn’t follow the same cadence everytime and sometime it pass in wireframe so you must restart max to make a good screen capture in smooth view to clear the card buffer. So it is very difficult to normalise.
card is quadro 3400

13

You could just render a preview, should look the same.

14

I have try this but on 3000 frame my preview doesn’t maintain the frame rate and pass in wire.

15

I guess the question that 95% of us would ask is - how did you do this?

whisky, drug, music hehe "joke :roll: "
You must just find the way to make a toon shader viewable in the viewport it’s not really hard, here for the fish there is two shapes the little with the diffuse color painted in PS and the bigger is the black border with a total black shader and with flipside normal to always view the border and the diffuse.
all materials are autoilluminated and with map in diffuse slot.
you shake this and in the max preference you must choose the best compromise between frame rate and graphic driver.
so you can animate everything and play all the night :smile:
You can make very good cartoon video with more work I think :wink:

This is so cooooool! :lol:
I whish I would have come up with such an idea as a student! That would have been wonderfull nights. The “art” itself doesn’t matter but the fact of making that stuff on-the-fly must be a very rewarding experience :smile: .

It’s total nonsens and asked myself as well “what the hell am I watching?!” but I love the starting point.

If I have some time left I might give it at try to make something similar :wink: !

Thanks for sharing.

hehe, finally someone understand me cool, I will make a team to do crazy video like that but more elaborated, this one was made with two guys: you make an alga I make a fish etc…and the final creation is living hahaha :lol:
