Asbjørn "Polyfjord" Lote, a Digital Artist and renowned YouTuber, has gone viral online by showcasing what is without a doubt one of the most jaw-dropping Blender projects of 2024 – a Curve-based melody visualizer that transforms a boring sheet of notes into a captivating animation, with glowing lights bouncing from note to note.
Currently WIP, the visualizer was conceived as a fully manual tool, requiring one to set up each curve by hand. However, thanks to a comment on Polyfjord's Instagram, the artist was inspired to make the setup procedural, allowing the tool to generate curves from point to point automatically, thus greatly simplifying the process.
Later this week, the creator plans to release the add-on for free and publish a tutorial that dives deeper into how it works, so we highly encourage you to follow Polyfjord on YouTube and Instagram so as not to miss any future updates.
Earlier, the artist also published a great guide explaining how he turned himself into a smoke character using JangaFX's EmberGen, a GPU-based tool for creating real-time smoke, fire, and explosion simulations.
And here are some more of Polyfjord's comprehensive tutorials:
