[Tutorial] Particles driven by music

[polygonjs]

Here is a tutorial I published about a month ago, showing how to drive particles with music.

As a general rule, adding music always elevates a WebGL experience, as it makes it that much more immersive. And if your objects (or in this case particles) are in sync with the audio, it completes that immersion.

Here are a couple links to get you started:

• live experience
• scene files

The tutorial is split in 4 videos:

Part 1/4 - Introduction

Create Real time Particle Simulations From Music - introduction [part 1/4]

Part 2/4 - Use Volume To Drive Particles

Create Real time Particle Simulations From Music - connect volume to any parameter [part 2/4]

Part 3/4 - Use Waveform Data

Create Real time Particle Simulations From Music - use waveform data into shaders [part 3/4]

Part 4/4 - Extract Beats To Add Forces To Particles

Create Real time Particle Simulations From Music - connect FFT to particles [part 4/4]

Happy to hear about anybody trying to create similar WebGL experiences using audio.
