Blendercookie.com published their new video tutorial for Blender 2.5 demonstrating how to build an audio visualizer Blender and to let python drive the animation F-curves of those meshes with the wave elements of an audio input. This looks pretty spectacular.
Here is a short project description from their website:
In this Blender 2.5 video tutorial, we will be taking a look at how to use sound to drive an object’s scale.
We will be building a ‘field’ of cubes, each of which will pulse along to certain frequencies of a song.
What is covered in this tutorial:
- Baking sound to F-curves.
- Programatically creating an N-by-M matrix (field/ grid)
- Setting a keyframe and baking F-curves from Python
- Finding out which frequencies to use using AudacityNote: In recent SVN versions the API has been updated. If you’re using one of these later versions please be sure to replace “bpy.ops.object.scale_apply()” with “bpy.ops.object.transform_apply(scale=True) ”

hasn't this been published before???
old news.
very useful tutorial
sehr nützliches Tutorial
Yeah, I have tried that one...
Only problem is that my blender build always crashes when running it.
And nobody seems to know why :')
Ja, ich habe, dass man versucht, ... Das einzige Problem ist, dass mein Mixer zu bauen immer abstürzt, wenn es läuft. Und niemand scheint zu wissen, warum: ')
thats reallly cool
@Cmitz
What build do you use, and what for?
Doesn't it work with the official one?
Maybe you could post your blend-file somehow, with Dropbox or something similar, to see what is wrong..
