This week:

Simon – I attached all the colors in the sphere to an array, in this case initialized to random values. The values in the array can be changed in groups, so as an example they could change in patterns with the music. I’d like to do testing in the actual lab so I can get to work on the more complicated parts.

Tim – For this week I have been working on familiarizing myself with music analysis and different features of the program. By next week I hope to start working on finding different options for analyzation of the song we selected.

Chelsi – researched geometric inspiration now that we have a set shape (videos below). Also contacted artist about getting individual track pieces for easier analyzation and should receive them over the weekend. I downloaded a sound analyzer and started to work with that – I have a few questions about how this will translate into OpenGL. I also briefly looked into using real video footage in OpenGL and it looks like rendering is a possibility (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AVh1x-Uqjs)

Visualizer created in OpenGL:

The one offers a way to include movement:

We are a bit behind, but hope to catch up within the next week. By next Friday we hope to have the sphere moving and have our execution for the music analyzation figured out.
