- Description:
The sun rises dynamically using blueprints. 3 music tracks are used - the main stereo track is heard, with individual bass, percussion, and lead guitar tracks are linked to actors using Synesthesia. The lead guitar track (loudness NRT analysis) is used to drive the velocity of the main red niagara particles in the centre of the frame. Loudness NRT analysis of the bass is linked to the movement of the cacti. The (sparse) foliage has the loudness of the percussion track linked to wind parameters, giving it an erratic and rhythmic animation style.
