T9 - Immersive Sound Design with Particle Systems
Presenters:Nuno Fonseca, ESTG/Polytechnic Institute of Leiria - Leiria, Portugal; Sound Particles
Yohann Bernard, Sound Designer - France
Abstract:
This tutorial will show how to use particle systems to create immersive sound. Using the new “Sound Particles” software, a 3D CGI-based software for audio, particle systems can be used to trigger thousands of sounds over a virtual 3D space, capturing the obtained result in different immersive formats. Based on original audio files taken from sound libraries, highly complex audio scenes can be created, such as a battlefield or an immersive 3D fire. This solution was already used on several movies and TV series and is currently being tested in all the major Hollywood studios.
