Blackbox Life Recorder Album Art Template
pacman posted a topic in Aphex Twin,
I wasn't originally planning on doing this, but I really like the album art for Blackbox Life Recorder and the more I looked at it the more I wanted to see if I could recreate it like I did with the Collapse artwork. I came up with something that I thought was half decent and I would be remiss if I did not share it with fellow fans in case at least one person might want to use it.
Just like the Collapse template, I've made it so that you can upload any image that you want and it will automatically adhere to the 3d cube (just make sure the image is a square, otherwise it will be stretched). This template unfortunately uses the more resource-intensive rendering engine in order to mimic the lighting and shadows more closely, so your computer will chug along a bit as it renders. It shouldn't take any more than a few minutes unless you have a really old computer. If you have a laptop, the fans will most likely kick on quite loudly. The file is in the .zip attached and you can download Blender for free to use it.
I've included a screenshot with instructions in the file. It's not completely foolproof for people who have never used Blender for modeling and rendering, but I've tried my best to make it as easy as possible for anyone to try it out. If you want to live preview the image before rendering, hold the Z button and slide up to Rendered in the viewport section with the cube in it. To switch back, hold the Z button and slide to the right to Solid. If you keep it on the Rendered screen for too long it will eat up resources, so I would do that only to see briefly what it looks like and then switch back to the Solid view.
I've attached some test renders, one with a similar texture to the album art as well as others with different tones and colors just to see how they would look:

Ableton Live 12
Device too big, display too small, flashing drum pads too flashy and big. In my humble opinion. There's no way that's going to fit in my ass.- 1

Ableton Live 12
there's been times when I'm traveling that I wanted something like this.. just a small device to jam around on. I think it definitely has its use case. The fact that it can also be a portable controller for live is probably more of a selling point for me than the standalone scratch pad stuff. An interesting tidbit is the switch to an ARM processor in the unit... here's hoping that Push 3 upgrade kit comes in handy soon.- Ableton

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD", 04-OCT-2024
quick thoughts after a couple spins... BABYS IN A THUNDERCLOUD and BROKEN SPIRES AT DEAD KAPITAL are very very good. the former packing a ton of emotional weight, the latter being ominous as fuck. PALE SPECTATOR is quite nice too, kinda reminds me of yanqui uxo in parts. the rest is a bit 'post-hiatus gybe by numbers'. decent tracks, but nothing more than that. -
