Create An Audio Driven Animated Equalizer Effect In 3D Studio Max Using Audio Float Controllers And Sound Forge

Create An Audio Driven Animated Equalizer Effect In 3D Studio Max Using Audio Float Controllers And Sound Forge

on Feb 22nd 2012 with 4 comments

In today’s tutorial you’ll learn how to integrate sound into 3D Studio Max and use it to drive an animated equalizer effect. You’ll start by learning some advanced techniques for processing and isolating sound frequencies using Sound Forge, and how these can be independently used to control animation data inside 3ds Max using Audio Float controllers.

This is an extremely powerful technique that can be used to create all kinds of truly unique effects. To demonstrate this, Madhan will also show you how audio can be used to drive FumeFx simulations that are in sync with your audio tracks. Awesome stuff indeed!

This entry is part 2 of 5 in the series Create A Stylized Character With Maya And ZBrush

In part two of the stylized character creation series, we’ll export the clothing base meshes created in part one from Maya and import them into Zbrush. Where we’ll sculpt in the cloth’s wrinkles and folds.

In this new multi-part tutorial series, Shaun Keenan shares the techniques and workflow he uses to create characters using Maya and ZBrush. In the first lesson Shaun will demonstrate basic blocking techniques to quickly build a sculpt-able base mesh for the character’s clothing, which will then be exported to ZBrush for detailing and refinement in part two.
