Bones Animation - Re-Acting

Bones - Re-Acting from binarymillenium on Vimeo.

I think I could have done a better job with this video, edited it a little more heavy, but I don't like to get to bogged down with it. I sort of think as these as visual notes to myself, I can refer back to them and recreate the effect I captured in a bigger and more meaningful work.

The main thing making editing more difficult was that I was using image sequences in Premiere- my computer isn't fastest enough to actual play back unrendered image sequences (and I was too lazy to render it), so it was hard to get the edits and feel right.

The source imagery is from a code.google project called 'bones' http://code.google.com/p/binarymillenium/wiki/Bones. It's a very simplistic bones animation implementation, using osg::nodes and with randomly generated hierarchy and animation. Every vertex in the object loaded for a bone has a weight that mixes (using quaternion slerp) the positions of the parent osg::node and the child. The weights are automatically generated based on the distance from the vertex from the root of the object where it joins with the parent.

Render-to-texture feedback with OSG

This actually doesn't use any of the screen capture code from the last post ( I'm still working out how to best use that) - it just does a good old fashioned glReadPixels to current the current opengl screen.

Phoeeb Deform

Brand new video, made almost from scratch (a stock photograph from deviantart was used as a referenced and applied as a texture).

The music is from ccMixter (http://ccmixter.org/media/files/vincent_vega11/6966), which has supplied me with several good soundtracks for recent videos, although it can be difficult to browse the music- where's the sort by rating button? I recall another CC music site less focused on remixing and more on original works that had more movie like soundtracks I'd like to use in the future but I forget the site.
