//XCOLLABZ CYBERPUNK 2023 - SERIES 002// " Snapshot of a real-time audioreactive system/ethos I am developing in Unreal Engine. This year I have shifted back towards my original line of research, which is real-time immersive experiences, so unless otherwise commissioned, future mints will reflect that. The following text can be seen as provenance project notes: The objective is compatibility with Android/VR, which rules out Niagara Particle System usage (all my previous audioreactive mints), so this is an exploration of potential solutions: focusing on lighting, materials, multiple cameras, ui and meshes (even though I am not sure how the lighting would translate due to Android limitations). Due to the real time audio triggered cameras, rendering in Unreal Engine (both MRQ and Legacy) wasn´t feasible-- Solution: a)package the project as a standalone exe b)record it live with OBS Screen Recorder (2 mins for this clip) c)trim two measures with Lossless Cut and export Result: A totally live, spontaneous audioreactive snapshot of the project, zero scripted animation (my previous audioreactive projects differ in that I rendered different audioreactive scenes within Unreal Engine and later triggered them and some fx individually in external software) with no external viusal post processing or touch up. There is some randomness due to free-running sculpture rotation and fx-texture sine, although the intensity of the effect itself is audio-triggered. This means, no two measures (visually) will be repeated 2x (or maybe yes, it just needs to be left playing for a while? I haven´t tested it that far yet). Finally, I decided to replace the audio with the summed file from Renoise (my DAW of choice, where I do my sound design etc) because in a test mint (which you can see was burned last week) the audio seemed to clip heavily on mobile, most likely due to the fact there was no limiter on the output within Unreal (I tried later but using the limiter crashes the project for some reason, It SEEMS to work in standalone, but I didn´t properly test it). The summed file is made up of exactly the same sounds that triggers the visuals, just cleaner and limited to 0.0db. 3D Modeling- Me, in Blender Development (Audioreactive Animation)- Scripted by me In Unreal Engine 5.1.1 Textures- Me, Inkscape x (as it´s a mix i find the x sign more accurate then the + I normally use) Jsplacement (generative texture tool) Audioreactive material texture using one my old photographs! Visual FX- Me, creating a audio reactive Post Processing Material in Unreal Engine (you can tell it is inside UE as the UI isnt affected at all) UI- Me, using free for commercial use fonts and customised materials in UE. There will be another iteration, which is a change in mood both visually and sonically. It will be a FREE AIRDROP to collectors of this piece IF AND ONLY IF all editions are sold! It will be minted in a few days so you can see what you are getting! " - Tarek Wayne
