last part

After finishing vol1 and vol2, I’m going to explain the last part of visualization.
This time, I’m going to use video as well, so please watch the video below first!

Point Explanation

In the meantime, what will the final goal look like?

This time, we’ll turn the comments into 3D models.
I’m going to turn the comments into 3D models and put them in front of the youtube screen.

Comments in 3D

The first thing to do is to add a comment to textTOP.

The timing is done in a very analog way by pressing the Button.

You can change the processing here as you like (this is the last time).

The Python code in CHOPExcuteDAT is to delete the previous comment from the top of the commentTable and add a new comment to the textTOP.
(This was also done last time.)

Then I put it in TraceSOP, and here is the SOP data
In short, it is converted to 3D.

Note that depending on the number of characters and language of the comment, the number of points may increase and the load may become heavy.

You can change the value of Threshold in TraceSOP, or
You can also use PolyreduceSOP to reduce the number of polygons, which is not done here.

Hey, the hole in circle d is blocked! If you have a problem, you can turn on Fliter->Hole Face in TraceSOP.

See, I told you.

You see, I told you, the hole is open.

Pandora’s Box is also available at 、、、、

Okay, I’ll stop joking now.

Capture Screen

Next, capture the screenshot of Youtube open.
and use it as a material!

The TOP to capture the screen is

ScreenGrabTOP

Select the screen where Youtube is open in Source and trim it to your liking!

By the way, I was recording the screen for filming.

But ScreenGrabTOP is so heavy that the FPS dropped…
Please let me know if there is a better way.

The Last Mystery Bloom

I’m just getting carried away here.
But I’m just getting carried away here.

It’s hard to see! If you think it’s hard to see, please ignore it. 、、、、

Yes! So, it’s done!

It’s a bit long, but thank you for watching!
Here’s an example of my work.
I changed the comment to the wind and hit the wind chimes with it.
The video is also available on YoutubeLive.

You can also find me on Instagram, so please take a peek!
Also, I’d love it if you’d follow me!

Hola!
