Awesome work. Demanding and stressful colors. But all with style!

Hi,
our contribution to NOVA 2023

Music by Violet and the Mutants. Please follow them, they are really good.
By permission from ps - enoughrecords. Thanks man !

Graphics - featuring some 2 x kinect pointcloud capturing. Should play on modern nvidia (latest drivers). Haven't tested on AMD.

Here is a youtube:

Very enjoyable glitchy visuals, especially in the first half.

first half was perfect, second half was slightly annoying.

Amall favor: if anyone runs this ok (or not!) on ATI/AMD please let me know here

Solid ASD-style.

Hell yeah, ASD making _good_ demos again! Must've been amazing on the big screen. Fantastic soundtrack too!

A couple of things about this production:

I sourced the pointcloud data of the dancers at the beginning using a 2x kinect configuration (2 kinects facing each other) which were registered using two HTC vive controllers. This way you can have a quasi-3D reconstruction, not just a depth projection.
This produces a sequence of 3D pointcloud frames. The dancers are from a local dance group - we rented some space to do the capturing. It was a fun day.

We wanted to do this demo for NOVA '23 (17 years after the first attempt using another "movement-to-graphics" based production "The evolution of vision"). This time music comes first - ps/enough records let me select the track and make the arrangements with the copyright holders.

The show runs almost entirely on a shader, inclusive of all the if/then/else for flow. It's easier this way.

I'm also delighted Kinects are still being used. I gave a away so many to artists over the last few years :D
added on the 2023-06-26 13:15:23 by okkie okkie
This was with kinect azures. Which are ok but not exceptional for quality. And you would need quite a lot more for full volumetric capturing.

But more on this... soon...

i'm not too captivated by the 'linkin park on downers' part 2 of the demo, but, well :)

hm, what maali said....was cool until the guitar and vocals started...destroyed it for me...

very intense visuals, excellent shader work, snappy and varied effects with great audio. nicely done Navis.

i tried to find something to enjoy here but i kinda failed. would have been a piggie but the colors are demanding and stressful indeed :\

the sudden music shift was a surprise (to say the least). i was like, did youtube just fire up in the background? :)

i like the overall mood + visual. that's some nice glitch/distortion shaders there!

but on the negative side: i cant see any connection between the kinect dancers and the music, or any reason for the moves they are doing or for them being there in general; the first half is a bit too simplistic; and the second half is too overblown - the screen is just flat colour blocks for too long so it loses the dynamics.
added on the 2023-06-26 19:01:51 by smash smash
Thought this was cool. Definitely a demo of two halves. A bit like From Dusk Till Dawn in the 'What the hell???' department!

But lovely animations and great soundtrack.

looks completly wrong on amd 6900xt.
yt version looks cool tho!
rulez added on the 2023-06-26 22:28:53 by pandur pandur
Very cool.. bold choice with the music, I'm not sure if the demo was designed with that style in mind, but the increased intensity works, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the official music video on Youtube. It can't all be oontz oontz. Bonus for coming up with a demoscene-y way to do your own motion capture rather than grabbing some off-the-shelf data.

Made with Notch.. just kidding. :)

I have an RX580 and I did get visuals, but it doesn't look anything like the screenshot.

I really like the idea and the execution, unfortunately it's just 25% too much. Too much glitch, too much postprocessing and too much distortion. You loose a lot of the dancing which is pretty exceptional, i'm sure. However it felt like you wanted to hide recording artefacts, but i don't think there is anything that needs to be hidden. same goes for the post effects in the second part, it blocks 25% too much and clutters the view.

BUT:

It's still 125% cool though so here's my thumb :)

Thanks yeah hm, it's the last postprocessing shader. I will fix and update the binaries.
added on the 2023-06-29 12:43:47 by Navis Navis
Sorry to say, but this was horrible. Felt no visual connection between the visuals and music. Music was also not my cup of tea. Colors were painful.

hmm, I'd probably say that the music doesn't pierce me and the visual also does not resonate with the music very well. also too much flashy colors.

cool stuff! idk about the mocap but it kinda worked here, i quite liked the colours and fx

loved it.

I precisely like how the visuals and the music work very well together while the connection is not obvious at first.

Music is not my cup of tea, but the visuals were great and the concept is much much better than "Anoxia Redux"

Very cool animations. Obviously, a lot of work went into them.

I also like the colors.
