Just keeping with my promise...

I just thought of an extremely impractical way to simulate gradual increase/decrease of line width. You can drastically scale the layer while drastically scaling the points in the reverse way. Problems: 1.) This will obviously make bones useless for the layer. 2.) The shrinking/growing effect happen...

You can run the speech synth from just about any app. Just select the text you want spoken, pull down the first menu (the one under the name of the app) and select services->speech->start speaking text. One of the truly cool features of OSX.

Yeah, the effect of increasing blur as it gets further from the center of the picture almost has a simulated depth-of-field effect, even though there's no actual depth or depth information.

Pure programming and math. C++ code compiled in G++, generates a series of bitmaps, and then I use another app just to convert those to a video file. It's linked to the audio in two ways: one, when there is more change in the audio (from analysis window to analysis window), the shapes move faster; t...

Haven't gotten any feedback on this yet ... maybe it got lost in the shuffle? Anyone interested in this kind of thing? Even in just the background or whatever?

Yeah, "tween everything by default" is definitely something to be grateful for. I just watched the mudbubble thing myself. Notice at the end someone asked if he ever tried Moho? His response was that he'd look into it, but was basically sold on Flash because it does everything he wants and...

Sounds to me like this makes a lot of sense.

I remember hearing that in the movie Christine, the sound of a roaring lion (or some other large animal) was mixed in at a low level with the sound of the car's engine to make it more menacing. I should have clarified that using nothing but a wav editor isn't going to give you everything you need ei...

Okay, but the MIDI has nothing to do with the generation of that sound. It's kind of functioning as a middleman there; if that was the only practical way for you to convert that sample to a wav file, that's understandable. My concern is that the original poster might not (from the sound of his post)...

Something to keep in mind here is that Ramon was looking for ways to create sound effects. MIDI really has no use in creating sounds; at best, it's for arranging and playing back sounds you already have. So I think it confuses the issue to elaborate on MIDI here, which is not what he needs.

I'd like to share some preliminary results of the generative music-to-visuals code I've been working on. There's no moho involved in this at this point, but I could see myself using something like this as an animated background image layer. The way the blobs are randomized and rendered is mine, the ...

Geez, they look cute all lined up like that. Heh.

It had to happen sometime.
