They wanted powerful synthesis capabilities, which is something you’re unlikely ever to get in a game like Quake III. So, they found a way to send network data from Quake into the free software Pd, using Pd’s netsend object to send UDP packets containing control data from the game. In other words, instead of using a MIDI controller, you can make the game your control instrument. netsend is in Max/MSP, too, so this should work for Max, as well.

Fijuu (1 and 2) is realtime interactive software and concerned with the opposite process - where shaping forms in turn shapes the sound. anyway, i'd be surprised if anyone who works with high-end 3D software doesn't 'synthesize' the forms they see into sound at some point, albeit in their own head. it's almost second nature to imagine the sonified equivalent of shearing or twisting a blob in a 3D modeling environment. the relationship pretty much presents itself and i'm sure you'll see many explorations/manifestations of it in future, in both film and interface design. similarly, the desire to 'sculpt sound' with your hands (or a hand-held object) is itself nothing new, something that many musicians and painters have talked about for centuries. both <a href="http://pix.test.at" rel="nofollow">pix</a> and i (there are two on this project) have wanted this for a long time. my thoughts about it go back 8 years, when i first started working on sound-based games and had only basic sample trigger mechanisms available to me (eg see <a href="http://selectparks.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=4" rel="nofollow">'Qthoth'</a> that we were able to manifest some of these ideas now is testimony to there being a ton of quality open-source software available to us. it wouldn't have been possible without this by any stretch (erm.. so to speak). probably worth mentioning here (a DSP aware site) that Fijuu2's sound-engine is PureData. this means that if you have a little PD/MaxMSP skill you can author your own instruments. the patches for all six instruments are in the source-tree when you download the code. the same goes for the 3d objects/materials/textures themselves. enjoy! the reference to Gantz Graf is v’ flattering! that’s a great looking animation.

I take that back. Alex Rutterford's work on the Gantz Graf video has cult status among many people I know, it's not surprising to see something like this come along. I did not want to sound like I was not jazzed about it. I think it's amazing. Here is the video link since sputnik is caca: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rot8AYUn9sU&search=Gantz%20Graf Yea, “wimpy” is way too strong. I take that back.

In fact, the fact that this looks reminiscent of that video to me is impressive: from a pre-rendered music video to a real-time animation designed by a single person that controls interactive sound? That's a pretty amazing evolution in a very short period of time. Whoops, I missed the word wimpy, dajebus — I have to disagree.

Our visual editor Jaymis here pointed out the same thing. ;) That said, this has one big edge -- it's real-time and interactive. Hadn't seen the Autechre video; that's very cool! You know, that's the other thing about 3D, though; I think we'll see a lot broader range of expression in the future. It can look like really whatever you want. It’s not just you.
