cool

These guys are cool. This is the coolest of their videos I think. Pretty trick, they are using MIDI data to directly animate objects in 3D renders. They must have some cool MIDI look ahead stuff that figures out how to launch a ball at the right time for it to strike an instrument at the tone of the note.

Love this stuff.

Don't forget AniMusic 2!

I remember seeing this demonstrated live on my at the time brand spanking new ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, only to realize that it's actually all pre-programmed

Farhad2000: Same here, dude. You can still get it from http://www.ati.com/developer/demos/r9700.html (9700 supported too).

These are pretty fun to watch (it's MUCH higher quality if you buy it on DVD) but the problem is that the music sounds like it was synthesized on my Atari 2600. It almost sounds that crappy.

Still cool though.

The music rocks!

I removed the "Radeon" from the tags because its insulting to brand these guys art with a logo... has nothing to do with Radeon.

now turn up the subwoofer for Starship Groove
