Since I already had animated my MAX creation for the last assignment, I focused on the facet that I had not been satisfied with—Color. In this update, I created a smooth ‘drunk’ color scheme, where when each object receives a new color, it slowly transitions from its current color to the new color. I also…

Nick Sorensen – Animated Abstraction
For this project, I decided not to use my geometric abstraction piece from the previous project. I kept the animation to only circles. I created a beat that included a screaming goat that would randomly be played on the last beat. A circle would increase in size and then decrease in a random location on the screen…
Noah Hillman – Animated Abstraction
For this project, I used a simple beat with a random 7th beat. Visually, I used 3 bouncing balls (approximated with scaled sin waves) to visualize the beat using the 3 balls. The balls fade to a random color on impact, and the background changes color on the 7th beat.
Adam Moran – Animated Abstraction
For the animated abstraction, I took the color concept of my geometric abstraction and got rid of all the extra fluff. I used the cassette 808 samples to make a beat which activated animations based on the sound that was triggered. For example, a snare triggers a green ball while the cymbal triggers a yellow…
Han Liu Animated Abstraction
The Geometric Abstraction of mine already involves motion and this animated abstraction is an upgraded version with more movements, complexity and some simple sound effects. The whole shape is a 3D “diamond” or a double-pyramid , which is made of 7 layers of simple geometric objects. The motion modes contain both individual object moving towards…
Thai Dao – Animated Abstraction
For this project, I encountered a lot of trouble. All the settings (scale, positions, etc.) for the shapes I saved disappeared when I reopened project 1. On top of that, the shapes doesn’t spawn at the correct spot sometimes. It took me a good while and a lot of raging to recreate the right scene…
Kyle Savell – Animated Abstraction
For my animated abstraction I used the same setup from my geometric abstraction and timed the animations of the circles to a beat. To start with I cleaned my geometric abstraction patch so that all of the sphere information is hard-coded into the object. I also hard-coded the color values for the three different color…
