You're welcome to join the Beatcraft 6 Community Server!

Hey Doods!

Just in case you missed my community post on youtube, I am opening up the next Beatcraft world on a public Minecraft server. Lots of awesome builds have already been added. Imagine if Beatcraft had a baby with r/place, that's what this is turning into lol. I think this will be the best Minecraft music sync yet!

Wanchu Back - 360° VR Edition | Minecraft Music Sync

NOTE FOR PATRONS: If you joined recently and don't see your name in the credits, that's because this video was uploaded before you joined, but only made public now. You'll be in the next video for sure! I don't include patron minigames at the end of 360 degree videos for technical reasons. 

Here is the 360 degree view version of my Wa...

Piano Duet DUEL

Two pianos face off in a Synthesia-like battle simulation I created with Unity. This is my first time making a game like this involving so much RNG. I didn't do a great job balancing everything so I had to do over 80 recording attempts before I got this run. Good luck everybody :)

How the game works:
Players are split up into two teams...

Piano Duet DUEL - ALL PROJECT FILES DOWNLOAD

I built this project in Unity 2020.3.21f1. Here is a download to my project files if you want to tinker around and run it on your machine! I'll do my best to answer any questions regarding the project in the comments of this post. 

Want to make your own Minecraft Music sync videos? Revealing all my secret sauce on this post:

Want to add lyrics and color beat blocks to your Disco Diffusion project like I did in my video? Here is my code:

The keyframes are set up similar to the xyz translation and rotation.

#colorblock keyframe(shape, scale, fill_color, xOffset, yOffset)

After setting up the keyframes with this notation, you can reuse the "parse_key_frames" function that was already built in to the notebook. (circled in image below)

Line Rider Race #2 + (LR Track Cinematic Shot Blender Converter File Download)

People have been asking me how I did the 3D intro at the beginning. If you'd like to make 3D cinematic shots of your own Line Rider tracks, here's how to do it.

First, download the "LineRiderBlenderConverter(dot)zip" file attached to this post and unzip it. 

Then simply open the LineRiderConverter.blend file (I'm using Blender v...

I used AI to generate a Music Video from song lyrics

Project Description: 

In this video, I utilized artificial intelligence to generate an animated music video for the song Canvas by Resonate. This tool allows anyone to generate beautiful images using only text as the input. My question was, what if I used song lyrics as input to the AI, can I make perfect music sync...

Impossible Piano Physics Simulation - In the Hall of the Mountain King | Black MIDI

Hello everybody! You all earned more points at the end of the video. Keep a look out for your name in the patron plinko :) 

I built a simulation in Unity to visualize black MIDI files with physics! Every note note is a rigidbody which magnetically locks into position, presses a key, and spawns a glowing orb. This project pushed my abi...

I Synchronized a Race Track to Music - Trackmania PF #3

This is no ordinary race track. It took me over 100 hours to create, matching various jumps and bounces of the car to the beat using trial and error.

Keep a look out for your name at the end of the video. Each of you get a personal car! If you're lucky, you'll jump through one of the rings to earn some points for you character. (White = co...

Musical Domino Battle

I built a simulation in Unity to spawn dominoes that can play any MIDI file. White dominoes are solely used as connecting lines, while colored dominoes emit a sound when they are first collided with. To spice things up, I turned the whole project into a game for the patrons to try and collect as many dominoes as they can in their own individual ...

Is nature an instrument? (AI Generated Music Sync)

I fell in love with AI generated landscapes recently. Although this tool is only meant for images, I decided to see if making a cohesive video was possible. Choosing which parts of the landscape would represent different parts of the beat was a lot of fun! Maintaining continuity from one frame to another is challenging, but after much trial and ...

I made Minecraft into a Portal Parkour Rhythm Game

**KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR YOUR CUSTOM VILLAGER AT THE END***

I love music synchronization, I love portals, and I love complicated contraptions. This video combines all three. Very excited to finally be able to share this! It has been months in the making.

Here's a fun fact about the start of the video I'd like to share. My goal was to cr...

Line Rider - Sommarfågel

As always, look for your name in the credits at the end!

This video is a tribute to a youtube channel I'm a big fan of called Wintergatan . I've synchronized the physics of the riders to the music, all done by hand. It's not a sponsored video, I just want to show my support for the marble machine project. 

Music Credit (Winterga...

Piano Marble Battle - Who will survive?

Hello! I'm currently on holiday away from my PC, but I was still able to make this video from my laptop. Watching a lot of  @MIKAN  Algodoo physics simulations lately has inspired me to go back to the 2D style for a bit. It's an old idea I had to turn synthesia piano videos into a physics simulation.   

I mentioned this...

Happy new year + Future plans

I’ve got big plans for 2022. Here’s a sneak peek at a few things coming:

1. Beatcraft 5 - This will be the most complicated Beatcraft to date. Immersive portals + create mod. I’ve been working on it for a long time and I’m super excited to share (mid February target release)

2. More Line Rider - Back to the classic 2D synchro...

POV: You are in a Minecraft Dream (360° Music Sync)

New Video + What's next?

Hey guys! Just posted a new video where I developed more tools for my 3D line rider visualizer. It can now read MIDI files and create movement relative to the rider for each note. Thank you VSQ for sponsoring and providing the music. 

What's coming in the future?

1. VR 360 version of Minecraft Dreams video

2. A new Patron ...

Minecraft Dreams (Music Sync - 4k60fps)

New video came out yesterday! Check it out if you missed it. 

I built a Minecraft World synchronized to the song Dreams pt. II by Lost Sky. I spent a lot of time on it so I hope you enjoy! If you have a device that is capable of 4k 60fps I would highly recommend using it.

Also, don't forget to look for your villager at the end. ...

I recreated Line Rider in 3D and the result feels cursed

The Mountain King track is back! This is my first time doing procedurally generated mesh terrain in Unity. It was a lot of fun to create, although the result feels a bit unsettling. My character modelling skills could use some work lol. Glad I did it though, because I can apply this technique to other concepts now.   

Rough expla...

Minecraft 360° Music Visualizer - I'm Not Okay

I re-recorded this 360 degree view edition of my previous VSQ music video for "I'm Not Okay." Fly through the world in sync with the beat and enjoy the amplified scenery. There are 4 different skulls made of blocks within view of the ride, see if you can spot them all (1 is tricky to see)!

Patron shoutout at the end of the video :)

I made you all Battle Royale!

I think you're all going to enjoy this one. It's a simulation I built in Unity where the keys grow longer each time a note is played. Find your name to see how long you survived! 

What would Geometry Dash POV look like? - Press Start Remix 360° Edition (8k 60fps) | Minecraft Sync

I re-recorded my previous video in 360 degree view. Pro Tip: You can use the WASD keys on computer to move the camera, or click and drag the screen. Try moving your screen to the beat!   

My assumption was that it would be relatively fast to produce compared to my previous videos, since the Minecraft world was already made. Turns...

I Synchronized my Minecraft World to Music

Fly through my world in 4k 60fps. Each block is placed as my visual interpretation of the song. I listened to Press Start so many times while making this, it got stuck in my head more than any other song that I've worked with. Feels like I can listen to it in my head with almost indiscernible quality now. This video is not sponsored, but many th...

Line Rider Race - Tandem Survival

I've synchronized Egmont Overture (By Beethoven) to a race between 4 teams of 2 riders each. This track was made using a special build of Line Rider, where 8 sleds are connected to form a giant taboggan. Choose your team color and cheer them to victory! Last team standing wins.

As usual, thank you for the support, look for your name at the...

Rush E, but each note spawns an E

I built this new MIDI visualizer in Unity. This is my first time working with spline meshes, which allow me to curve the notes through multiple nodes before hitting the keys. GPUs were harmed in the 4k 60fps making of this video.

Bit of a meme song, but it was fun! I have plans to continue improving my piano visualizers. As always, thank y...

If Minecraft was a Rhythm Game | Sub Urban - Cradles

**Keep a lookout for your named villager at the end of the video!!!**

I spent over 100 hours creating this Minecraft world synchronized to the beat of Cradles by Sub Urban. My goal was to make this the most complex Beat Craft video I've ever made. Trickshots, redstone, parkour, explosions, it's got it all. Surprisingly, I was able to get...

Black MIDI, but every note spawns a physics object... (4k, 60fps, ray traced)

I created a program in Unity that can read Black MIDI files and generate a Synthesia like visualization. However, each time a piano key is pressed, a corresponding tetromino physics object is spawned (since it plays the Tetris Theme A). The high note density areas created some interesting effects.  

I had a simpler version of this alm...

Minecraft - I'm Not Okay - Vitamin String Quartet performs My Chemical Romance

I spent over 100 hours building this Minecraft world synchronized to the music. There is so much untapped potential in this game for music sync, I'm excited to keep making more!
