Yet another audio visualization

Artwork Focused Critiques

Hey all,

this is my first try with audio visualization and I’d be really interested in tips and suggestions to make it better:

For the bars I created a little script and for the bass circles I used a driver.

rows = 4

for i in range(0, rows):
    
    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(location = (i*2, 0, 1))
    bpy.context.scene.cursor_location = bpy.context.active_object.location
    bpy.context.scene.cursor_location.z -= 1
    bpy.ops.object.origin_set(type='ORIGIN_CURSOR')
    
    bpy.context.object.data.materials.append(bpy.data.materials[2])
    
    bpy.context.active_object.scale.x = 1
    bpy.context.active_object.scale.y = 1
    bpy.context.active_object.scale.z = 5
    bpy.ops.object.transform_apply(scale=True)
        
    bpy.ops.anim.keyframe_insert_menu(type='Scaling')
    bpy.context.active_object.animation_data.action.fcurves[0].lock = True
    bpy.context.active_object.animation_data.action.fcurves[1].lock = True

    bpy.context.area.type = 'GRAPH_EDITOR'
    
    step = 20000 / rows
    bpy.ops.graph.sound_bake(filepath="/Users/Florina/Videos/Videos/03 - zaz.wav", low=i*step, high=i*step + step)
 
    bpy.context.active_object.animation_data.action.fcurves[2].lock = True

Kind regards,
Florina

Hi,
I am new to this forum and Blender. I liked the video. I hope to work on similar things in the future. I appreciate the post.

Very nice and simple audio visualizer. I really like the color choice which is quite relaxing and the idea of using the particles for circles is very neat. Was it rendered in BI or Cycles?

It’s amazing, but how do you make the bass circles?
