- If you liked this video, I'd recommend checking out "Ambient Glow", a project my friend and I have been working on for about a year now. • "Ambient Glow" - Origi...
More information about this animation is available in the rest of the description.
NOTE: Not actually a 4K video. Up-scaled to 4K to reduce compression artifacts.
Inspired by Animusic. Created from scratch, using Blender, FL Studio, and MIDAS (Musical Instrument Digital Animation System), a custom-built MIDI animation engine coded by me.
I was originally working on this project in early 2019, but I didn't have the animation code to animate it the way I envisioned, and since I just started out with 3D Modelling, my modelling skills kept improving to the point where things would look out of place very quickly. (It even happened here, but I caught most of the problems and fixed them). I probably would have abandoned this project, but I got the itch to work on it again, and I'm not very good at giving up on projects sometimes.
Special thanks to Zach Goertzen for improving the song ~2 years ago when I first started out on this project.
Special thanks also to Sean P. who helped render some frames for me and shaved off a day or two of render times.
If you liked Genesis, I'd highly recommend checking out a new project I've been working on with Zach Goertzen called Ambient Glow. He did all of the 3D and music for the project while I was beefing up my animation code. The animations are leaps and bounds better than Genesis. czcams.com/video/2wPGvGtJwHQ/video.html
Ambient Glow brought me here. Awesome music btw!
@@dragonl0ver945 Yeah! 👍
👍👍
😁👍yesh
Like the beginning of the song is like a vibe of the old Memories But when it stops and the things all came it's rarely goes away
This gives me such an nostalgic Animusic vibe. Super smooth animation, head bobbing music, and creative instruments too. Man I hope the Animusic team or at least someone that worked there sees this and would try to come back some time sooner. This is not even good, it's freaking awesome!
This is a culmination of many different Animusic videos and tells a tale, first somber, then joyous. I believe that the community of Animusic enjoyers was meant to create Animusic 3.
Finally released. Looks great!
Fan made
@@jamminman9585 I'm pretty sure they're aware of that. Suffice to say it is a dang good fan animation at that
Wow, is this really outside of the Animusic company? I am speechless, this is amazing! I know that Animusic 3 has shrunken quite a bit, but this video is very convincing. Everything is just so smooth like the actual animations. Overall, I think Wayne needs you, everyone needs you and your friend. You are the type of person that can make this happen! :)
Wow. Just WOW. This is quintessential Animusic.
this was amazing, it gave so many great memories of sitting on the floor and watching this on a VHS, your art is wonderful and amazing!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Been waiting for this! Amazing work
Are the one who banned me?
Very well done and a great homage to the original Animusic! I do like the Harmonic Voltage feel.
Same here, it is just so much to feel the energy from the whole picture!
Wow this is high quality, and new. There is still hope!
I can't tell you how much I love this piece of art
the visuals and the music sets the mood and helps you just vibe to it
I cant wait for further projects
great job and keep up the good work
damn this takes me back! reminds me when i was so eager to get the animusic 2 dvd! this is amazing vid thanks!
Oh, I've gotten really fond of both this and Ambient Glow, because they really strike a cord in this Animusic-loving fan.
Incredible song and animation. This is the Animusic 3 I have been waiting for!
animusic 3 is here thanks for making it a reality!
This is amazing! I missed seeing these fan made animusic videos 🧡🧡
if there is any legit animusic 3 out there, this is definitely part of it
THIS IS REAL HOLLY SHIT
This is pure content
So totally looking forward to future projects like this! Incredible!
Incredible work!
A: “Sir, you have to see this.”
B: “What is it?”
A: “Remember the ruins of that ancient alien civilization, the ones with the music machines?”
B: “From planet Animusic?”
A: “Yes .”
B: “Yeah, what of it?”
A: “You’re gonna wanna look at this.” *moves away from monitor*
B: “Well I’ll be…”
Excellent work. This is a fantastic tribute to the inspiration of Animusic as well.
Absolutely stunning - and with almost exactly true Animusic vibes. Hope you get way more views eventually.
I love this. I watched Ambient Glow as well, and also your new Animusic remakes. This helped inspire me to create my own Animusic-style music and animations.
That was awesome! As a fan of the original Animusic stuff, this was really cool seeing this. Nicely done (and yes, I've seen the "Ambient Glow" one as well - that was also awesome).
Watching the little bells ring is so satisfying... Amazing!
Same
hell yeah
what a magnificent piece of artistry.... well done my friend, this definitely captures that original animusic nostalgia but with a new piece of music and very high quality set design. Bravo!
This is so amazing! I can't believe a fan recreation could be THIS polished.
This is basically a baby test for a much larger project my friend Zach G and I are working on; so stay tuned
@@MarchCain Baby Project? I call this a Master Project because this is really a masterpiece. You have done great on this one. Keep up the good work.
@Aqua Vlogs! I appreciate the kind words; I say baby project for a few reasons. I'm not nearly as skilled with 3D or music composition as I am in programming, Zach has a lot more experience in that department. I actually gave him my original composition (which was a basic bass line with a lead melody and drums) and he turned it into the song used here.
We've been pooling our talents into two very big projects; one of which, named "Ambient Glow", is in the rendering phase and will (probably) go live sometime in October. The animation on Ambient Glow is leaps and bounds better than Genesis.
The other project is a lot more in-development right now, so I can't say much; but it'll be announced what we're doing after we release Ambient Glow
@@MarchCain Can't wait to see it. I bet it'll be even more epic.
Hey @Fexus @Aqua Vlogs! @ruminantmusic we just finished rendering Ambient Glow, check it out here czcams.com/video/2wPGvGtJwHQ/video.html
Absolutely awesome! If you told me this is official Animusic, I would believe you :-D
Nice video! I really wish the bells came back at the end though.
You have my subscription! Very cool. Takes me way back to ani music as a kid. This is nicely done!
Very Nice. Please make more. We like...
Now this is music. Very nice work.
Let's GOOO!!! May the algorithm be with you!
The algorithm is how I found this actually, so the algorithm is _definitely_ with March right now!
All jokes aside glad it's finally here!!
Beautiful.
Incredible
Just beautiful. Visually and aurally.
i think besides the earth this would pass for legit animusic
Thats not actually the Earth, there's rings around it. I also happen to not see any land on it lol. But yea, other than that, you're right on that one. xD
That was really well done!
Love the lamp glockenspiel.
This deserves more recognition
I think you and your buddy Zach need to contact Wayne Lytle. The man NEEDS people like you 2
You have the blood of hundreds of Prog Rockers running through your veins.
This is pretty close to stuff Wayne Lytle does.
Definitely see the influence, in the instrument choices too.
Fantastic!!! YOUR TEAM Needs to start a Fundraiser to Buy the AniMusic 3 Rights and MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
deserves more attention i know the animusic fan base has shrunk quite a bit but still
Wow this is super good what a go
I definitely get the Harmonic Voltage vibe and inspiration here. And a bit of Starship Groove and Fiber Bundles.
YES
Can this whole animation be put into unity and then vrchat? It would be so cool to experience this in VR
I swear I've had dreams about this.
How long have you been around (or watching Animusic/fanmade animations)? I started working on this in early 2019 and was uploading frequent test videos on another channel; entirely possible you saw it back then and it seeped into your dreams
@@MarchCain I mean, this is the first time I've seen this one (thanks to a kindly viewer who put a playlist in The Science Elf's video), but I've ABSOLUTELY had dreams about Animusics That Didn't Exist. There was a big pillar bass instrument right in the center of one of these dreams so 🤔
@@imlxh7126 You should check out Ambient Glow if you haven't already czcams.com/video/2wPGvGtJwHQ/video.html. I worked on the animation/programming on Ambient Glow and I'm generally more proud of it than I am Genesis.
@@MarchCain Oh I totes did! It rules. You're "March C" in the server right? I'm the vaporwave solo cup lemur :P
@@imlxh7126 Ye, that's me
Nice animation very sci-fi theme
Very good sir.
Wayne would approve!
Freeeeeeekin AWESOME!!!
boss battle music my dude lol
Love those videos? They need a TV channel for it ?
I like this song
That was awesome
Lets goooo
Very nice!
It is not my approach, because I try to make animations that contain anticipations, and not just 'reactions on the spot' while the music is playing.
Nevertheless, _this is excellent!_ It far exceeds my present abilities to model, which I am working on daily.
A little OCD here, but the right most cymbal's light is flashing to the beat of the center stack... very annoying, and I can't unsee it.
This needs more views!!!
March, I think you need to talk to Wayne Lytle about possibly helping him out with Animusic 3. This is INCREDIBLE!!! It’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real Animusic video, but made by someone _outside_ of Animusic LLC. You could very well be the person to bring Animusic back to life again, and get Animusic 3 back on track!
Thank you for the kind words! This was mostly just a test for a much bigger project though (which just released 30 minutes ago), you can watch that here: czcams.com/video/2wPGvGtJwHQ/video.html
Wow! Incredible work!
This is SO AWESOME! I'd actually love to buy the audio for this if you put it on your Bandcamp!
Maybe tell them to do so by contacting them on Bandcamp.
@Spiked_Energy_19 good point. I'll do that
Apologies for the delay; I saw the Bandcamp notification a couple days ago, but it was at 3 AM and it accidentally slipped my mind... here: marchcain.bandcamp.com/track/genesis
@MarchCain It's all good, man. Thank you so much for seeing my suggestion! I love this animation and thought it was such a vibe that I'd love to have on my music app.
@@MarchCain Wait a minute, you did another fan made Animusic song called "Twilight"? What happened to the animation for it, was it abandoned, taken down, or is it still in the works?
i enjoy mucho
Gorgeous

Is that earth right here
Wow amazing I love this music😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow! This is really good 👍👍👍👍👍
That...was... awesome!!! 👍
It's like a fusion of assets from Stick Figures, Harmonic Voltage, Starship Groove, and Heavy Light, all wrapped into one unique track all of its own.
(I say Stick Figures cause don't think for a second I don't recognize those at 1:54 XD)
This is better than ANIMUSIC hands down. It comes from the Heavy Light concept from Animusic. Well done hoping to see new work from you in the near future.
Amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hey yo, this is locking
Nicely Done
Great work my man
The chord lights look like the hard light bridge from Portal 2.
come on guys just 1 more likes to get this gem to 1k likes
This feels shorter than it is for some reason
the music style kinds got an old school sound but i cant place it. what the song inspired by anything? i want to say a 90s vibe maybe mega man. never the less i like this one alot. well done!
It's like Harmonic Voltage's distant cousin.
Reminds me a bit of Fiber Bundles and Heavy Light
Wow, love the music and animation is amazing. How long did it take to do all the animation? X
It took on and off work (over the course of about 2-3 months) to complete the programming for the animation, and at the time my MIDI animation software was about a year old in development. Anything controlled by a note was procedural (except for the gong, which was hand animated, regrettably). MIDAS tells me 156,374 keyframes were created procedurally in 1 minute and 43 seconds.
👏😳
Very cool. The only little thing is the bells don't look right. They look like they are all the same size and too big to produce their tone.
Yeah, there's a lot of small nitpicks I have with Genesis that I would change now (especially with the animation). If I remember correctly the bells were modeled last, and I was in a bit of a rush to finish this project.
I'd suggest checking out Ambient Glow (if you haven't already), as the animation and models are far better
