Does anyone know if there is a plugin of software that will give me the same effect as audio waveform in After effects, except in 3d.

Basically it will read and audio file and create a 3d waveform depending on volumes and channels and such.

thanks for all your help and input...

No responses..... AHHHHHH!

Is there even such a thing or a way to do it without a plugin?

Any help would be so much appreciated...

thanks so much

I'd like to see this aswell,...

Even if there was a program that made a 2D one it could probably be vectorized. And at the very least put onto a plane. ANyone know of a program that does this atleast?

Grab that bonus tools, or download it from alias site the audioWave.mll.

It will create give you a new node called audioWave, probably you need to create it by issuing `createNode audioWave`.

For this node you can assign a sound file, and it will return the amplitude of the wave (volume) to hook up to any attribute you have in your scene.

It is included in bonusTools5.0 for Windows.

I can load it in Maya5.

bonus tools is an extra set of free plugins and such that u can use and download for free from alias. Unfortunately, if you are using a mac, like me, then getting this plugin to work seems to be a bit harder.

Thanks thus far for everyones help. It is getting closer.. Even with this plugin for PC, I am having problems with getting it to look like an actual waveform. The audio file does change the shape, thats for sure. But I tested it with a sphere.

Any odeas on gettig it to look like an actuall wave form.

Thanks again guys... YOU ROCK!!!!!
