A fork of doakey3's Bizualizer repository. I merged ponychord, damians03 and JohnyDaison's changes together, and added new features:
Now able to use symmetry both in radial and straight forms.
Attack and release time configurable.
Option of 2 2D and 3D shapes for bars.
Camera alignment options.
Improved UI.
Radial options: arc angle, arc rotation, flip direction.
New colour options: single colour, pattern, gradient, adjustable emission glow strength.
Preview mode.
New bars are placed in their own collection to avoid cluttering.
Each bar set now has a custom name. Multiple bar sets can be made by changing the name.
Each bar is a child of an empty, which can be moved, rotated and scaled. When regenerating a bar set the bars go back to the empty.
- Download the repository
- Open Blender
- Got to File > User Preferences > Addons
- click "Install From File" and navigate to the downloaded .zip folder
- Check the box next to "bizualizer"
- Save User Settings
Use the correct release for your Blender version. Add-ons for Blender 2.80 and above will not work for Blender 2.79
In the properties window, click the scene button. The UI is at the bottom. Add a song by clicking the button with a folder icon. You can adjust the settings and generate the visualizer. Some examples are shown below.
This part of the addon will allow you to use a .csv file with visualizer settings for several songs to create the visualizer for the entire batch. Unfortunately, this part of the addon requires you to install some extras...
Install ffmpeg by downloading the executable, then add the path to
that executable to your system variable Path. If done correctly, you
should be able to enter ffmpeg
into your command prompt without
getting an error.
Install pip.exe into your Blender python folder by downloading get-pip.py and running it with the python.exe located in your Blender installation folder. You'll need to use a command prompt with admin priveledges.
Use pip.exe in the Scripts folder to install mutagen and pillow.
Do path/to/pip.exe install mutagen pillow
. Again, you'll need
to use an admin level command prompt to do this.
Install ffmpeg with sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Install pillow and mutagen using pip. To get pip download
get-pip.py and run it with: sudo python get-pip.py
Then install the two packages like this:
sudo pip install pillow mutagen
- Create a .csv file like the one included in this package.
- Place all mp3 files and png files into the same folder where the .csv file is located
- Open blender and use the 'Config File' browse button to navigate to the .csv file
- Open the Blender Terminal so you can see the Addon Working
- (Windows) Window -> Toggle System Console
- (Linux) Start Blender with the terminal
- Run Batch Bizualize
