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.
