An amazing effect that utilizes render pass and audio analyzing to create a 'Ghost' effect that pulses and changes colour depending on input from the audio. The effect is designed for Reels.
I love music, colour and light and am always looking for ways to combine these in my creations.
The project analyzes the audio input and creates a colourful 'ghost effect' that changes colour, and changes visibility, along with a motion blur effect based on the audio input.
Using Spark AR Studio, I was able to use the audio analyzer patch to separate the audio input into 3 bands, low medium and high. By converting this value into Vector 4 and using it as a colour value, I could mix the result into the texture that creates the motion-blurred image using render pass. This value also works to control the intensity of the motion blur effect.
I am new to Render pass, and understanding shaders. So I had quite a challenge in trying to bring this effect to life, as I had a clear image in my head already. Fortunately, I was able to do a lot of research and get a sense of understanding in this new territory.
I am proud that I was able to get a grasp on an entirely new concept to me and create a great looking effect.
I learned that I still have a great deal to learn, but that it is very rewarding and fullfilling to explore new ideas and concepts.
I hope that users will love using BeatGhost on Instagram Reels, as it will fit perfectly on this platform, especially in dancing videos that are so popular!
