Fan-Made Pipe Dream - Fanimusic VirtualTurtle 2018-08-24 | Hey all, I finally finished adding instruments and effects to the Pipe Dream model and It's essentially complete. When/if I improve the script, I'll be able to go back and fix some wonky animations, but as a prototype, I'm happy with it.The design and name of Pipe Dream was created by Animusic LLC, I really enjoy their work, and it inspired me to become a 3D artist in the first place so I decided I should pay tribute to it! youtu.be/x-eq1jTm0akLink to the script I made and used: github.com/virtualturtle/midilleman/blob/master/midilleman2_5.py My social Media:Twitter: twitter.com/noahmesh3dInstagram: instagram.com/noahmesh3d

Midilman - Orchestra [Musical Motion Graphics] VirtualTurtle 2020-01-02 | Small motion graphics piece to show off a proof of concept of Midilman's capabilities and an exploration in 3D style. It's still under development so several parts needed manual animation and tweaks, hence some mis-timings and such. Hopefully when the entire plugin is at v1.0 I can make a full musical animation from this concept.
Fiber Bundles Redux (Fan-made Animusic) VirtualTurtle 2019-08-07 | The Fan-Made spiritual successor to Fiber BundlesThis entire animation was created from scratch in Blender 3D using Midilman, our Midi animation addon for Blender. I created the 3D portion, while Zach Goertzen produced the song, supplied with presets and synths from Nick T and March Cain. Thanks for sticking with me the whole time guys!Huge credit goes to Wayne Lytle and Dave Crognale of Animusic for originally creating Fiber Bundles. FAQ.Q: Is this a new song?A: Yes! Zach Goertzen composed it and March Cain & Nick T. contributed many synths and presets.Q: What is Midilman and when will it be released?A: Midilman is the addon I'm developing for Blender 2.8 to allow for many different types of animation to be controlled with midi files directly in Blender. I still have a lot of work to do to get a version 1.0 out, so the release date and price aren't solidified yet.Q: Are you affiliated with Animusic LLC in any way?A: No, we operate on our own as a separate group of fans.Q: Are you looking for more people to join your "team"?A: Not at the moment. Once we have a more clear creative direction and solidified workflow, we'll open that opportunity upBonus material coming soon!Again, huge thanks to Zach Goertzen, March Cain, and Nick T.

Blender 3D Self Portrait Breakdown VirtualTurtle 2018-07-27 | Decided to take on a big risk with photorealism and high resolution sculpting, and it paid off! I streamed a good amount of the material creation which is on my channel. This was the first time I went through and hand-painted every single texture used: Subsurf factor, subsurf, roughness, diffuse, and specular. I'm pretty proud of it, and I'll try to make one every year to gauge my improvement as an artist!Let me know what you think! Would you want a tutorial about how to make something like this?Music: Sappherios - Dawn

Pokemon Go Virtual Reality test 1 VirtualTurtle 2016-08-19 | I originally posted this video unlisted, but I realized that I should keep you all updated on what I'm working on, even if it isn't 100% final.

Making the Fakes | Ditto, Zapdos, and Mewtwo Timelapse creation VirtualTurtle 2016-07-26 | Well, some of you may have guessed it, but these videos are fake. I originally made ditto to fool a friend, but Kotaku found it and I decided to go with it. I apologize if you were super invested in it. Some users are claiming that I hacked Nintendo and that it was illegal, however I did nothing illegal. In fact I don't even know how to program in python. Original Videos: youtube.com/watch?v=-DCVQN5vnxQyoutube.com/watch?v=ZtP_O8LwyD4youtube.com/watch?v=2P91tyREqoAOn a more serious note, some users think it is okay to steal content from me, claiming that it's all Nintendo's content and I have no right to my own videos. I am the sole creator of all of these videos, and I recommend you report anyone you see who is using these without permission, or claiming it as their own.Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video!
Pokemon Go client modification Encountering Mewtwo VirtualTurtle 2016-07-24 | Because of popular demand, I've recorded an encounter with Mewtwo in Pokemon Go. This is most likely not the way we will encounter him though. As for releasing the python script: I'm not comfortable releasing the tool or even parts of it, because once it gets out, I feel the game will start to lose its magic and entertainment, like using an Action Replay. It takes the fun out of the game. Another reason is because if released, I'll be a target of niantic/nintendo/etc.
