Zarathustra

This scene demonstrates how a MIDI file can be used to drive an animation.

The Python script does the following processing:

• MIDI file parsing
• NoteOn/Off MIDI event extraction
• Notes timing according to Carrara clock
• Notes dispatching on 3 fingers
• Move the valves according to the events

Target helpers attached to the the valves are used to animate the rigged robotic fingers.

A full description can be found in the article published in C3DE issue #3. Many thanks to C3DE team members for there help.
