Yesterday I was experimenting on Blender - I was looking for something extra to add to the CGI world because it felt very simple, and not quite as grand-scale as expected. On VideoCopilot (A website for After Effects tutorials) I saw a tutorial for creating an audio waveform, glowing and shimmering in 3D space, in After Effects. However the effect required trapcode particular, an expensive plug-in I don't have access to.
After watching the tutorial, I went into Blender - which has a complex built-in particle simulator - and after many hours of trying different things, I came across this effect and fell in love with it. Below is a 40 minute tutorial I recorded on how to create such a particle stream.
These glowing audio waveform type simulations will appear in You Know My Name and potentially another music video I have very recently begun work on outside of school, on Muse's Madness.
There was a huge amount of interest in this work at Open Morning two days ago.Your music video with its CGI and 3D world using Blender and After Effects is most impressive. I heartily endorse the way in which you present a video diary documenting steps on the way. Keep up the good work.
