Impossible Piano Physics Simulation - In the Hall of the Mountain King | Black MIDI

Hello everybody! You all earned more points at the end of the video. Keep a look out for your name in the patron plinko :) 

I built a simulation in Unity to visualize black MIDI files with physics! Every note note is a rigidbody which magnetically locks into position, presses a key, and spawns a glowing orb. This project pushed my abilities (and my PC) to the limit. The first portion was recorded with raytracing, so be sure to view in 4k resolution.  

 Fun facts:  

-  Thirty two gigs of RAM was not enough to hold the required game objects in the scene, so I upgraded to 64 just to make this video.  

- Each frame was taking so long to load it was causing my GPU drivers to time out and crash. I had to edit a registry value called TdrDelay to resolve this.  

- The final image sequence recording was over 100GB. Good luck youtube compression haha.  

- My computer was rendering nonstop for over a week to capture the ray traced portion before the crash.
