Show HN: Every meeting from first 8 years of scaling up [video]
I had so much fun with this. Shows the change from early days of building Sanity.io through to growth (and the pretty intense 2020-2021 period).
Calendar data processed in Python (filtering >3h events and Reclaim entries), then animated with Geometry Nodes in Blender. The 2K animation was rendered in Cycles on runpod.io (12 RTX 4090s for 48hrs). Colors indicate meeting types - blue for 1:1s, block size/saturation scaling with attendee count. Soundtrack driven by MIDI from exported from Python to Ableton Live.
- jonjohnsen 2y agoReally like the sound design! What's the mapping? Frequency of meetings per day to pitch?
- evenw 2y agoI never got around to really dialing this in - currently note and velocity are both mapped to intensity and notes are mapped through to a sampler. I taught myself Ableton for this as well as Blender so didn't get around to playing much with this.
