AI Music Visualize Plugin (Sold & Under Protection)
Side project sold to Beijing JinChang ShiJie Technology Co., Ltd.
Overview
The AI Music Visualize Plugin for Unreal Engine 5 is a cutting-edge tool that seamlessly bridges audio and visuals. It automatically analyzes scene elements suited for music-driven effects—such as lighting changes, dynamic motion, and environmental triggers—by leveraging real-time audio feature extraction, music emotion recognition, and WebSocket-based external integrations. This allows for synchronized visuals in live performances, electronic music festivals, and immersive installations.
