"Lightheaded" Audio Visualizer | Blender | Animation Nodes | Sverchok

This contains a .blend file ready to be loaded up in Blender and adjusted to your liking. The Sverchok addon is only needed if you plan to change the facetting effect on the head mesh, otherwise Blender and Animation Nodes is sufficient.

Check the readme, that is bundled into the .blend file.

Some of the adjustments:

• Control the scattering (translation, rotation and scale), wing movement and animation speed of the butterflies.

• Particles react to sound but you can make them static or use some built in random movement.

• Use the bundled Spectrum Node to control other values with sound. Tweek the node values, make the link and discover completely new behavior.

• Adjust the assigned shader for a completely different color scheme. Some shader values are controlled by Animation Nodes as well.
  

Needs and works with:

Blender 2.93 (download here)
Animation Nodes 2.2.2 (download here)
Sverchok 0.6 (download here)

(downloads can be found at the links above)

WARNING: The Animation Nodes addon is still under heavy development and can crash Blender. So safe often and expect some instability!!!

Make sure to update Sverchok in the Blender Addon settings after installation, so you have the most recent version.

Additionally I am adding a python script that will help with rendering scenes that use Animation Nodes. Check the Readme on that as well.

In case you encounter any problems or you have suggestions to expand the functionality, you can either reach me via my website or you can eMail me directly.

Thanks for your support and happy blending :)
