🎲 Video Cube Generator (VideoCubeV1)

This node generates 3D rotating cube animations with customizable parameters, offering various rendering styles, color schemes, and lighting effects. It creates dynamic animations of a cube that can rotate around all three axes.

Parameters

Basic Settings

Width

  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 512
  • Range: 128 to 4096
  • Step: 64
  • Description: The width of the output video in pixels.

Height

  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 512
  • Range: 128 to 4096
  • Step: 64
  • Description: The height of the output video in pixels.

FPS

  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 30
  • Range: 1 to 60
  • Step: 1
  • Description: Frames per second for the output video.

Max Frames

  • Type: Integer
  • Default: 120
  • Range: 1 to 9999
  • Step: 1
  • Description: Total number of frames to generate.

Cube Properties

Cube Size

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 1.0
  • Range: 0.1 to 5.0
  • Step: 0.1
  • Description: Controls the size of the cube relative to the viewport.

Distance

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 5.0
  • Range: 2.0 to 20.0
  • Step: 0.5
  • Description: Distance of the cube from the camera. Higher values make the cube appear smaller.

FOV (Field of View)

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 75.0
  • Range: 30.0 to 120.0
  • Step: 5.0
  • Description: Camera field of view in degrees. Higher values create more perspective distortion.

Rotation Settings

Rotation X

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 0.02
  • Range: -0.1 to 0.1
  • Step: 0.01
  • Description: Speed of rotation around the X axis (pitch). Positive values rotate upward.

Rotation Y

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 0.03
  • Range: -0.1 to 0.1
  • Step: 0.01
  • Description: Speed of rotation around the Y axis (yaw). Positive values rotate rightward.

Rotation Z

  • Type: Float
  • Default: 0.01
  • Range: -0.1 to 0.1
  • Step: 0.01
  • Description: Speed of rotation around the Z axis (roll). Positive values rotate clockwise.

Visual Style Options

Color Scheme

  • Type: Dropdown
  • Options:
    • rainbow: Full spectrum of colors with 80% saturation
    • monochrome: Grayscale variations from white to dark gray
    • neon: Bright, vibrant neon colors
    • pastel: Soft, light colors
    • cyberpunk: High-contrast futuristic colors

Render Style

  • Type: Dropdown
  • Options:
    • wireframe: Shows only the edges of the cube
    • solid: Renders filled faces with lighting
    • points: Displays vertices as colored points

Lighting Mode

  • Type: Dropdown
  • Options:
    • basic: Simple diffuse lighting
    • ambient: Soft lighting with ambient component
    • dynamic: Advanced lighting with specular highlights
    • none: No lighting effects applied

Usage Tips

  1. For Smooth Rotation:

    • Keep rotation values between -0.05 and 0.05
    • Use different values for each axis to create interesting patterns
    • Higher FPS values will create smoother animations

  2. For Best Visual Impact:

    • Combine appropriate lighting modes with render styles
    • Use solid render style with dynamic lighting for realistic 3D appearance
    • wireframe style works well with neon or cyberpunk color schemes

  3. Performance Considerations:

    • Higher resolutions and frame counts will increase generation time
    • Complex lighting calculations (dynamic mode) may impact performance
    • Consider using simpler render styles for quick previews

Technical Details

  • Uses perspective projection for 3D to 2D conversion
  • Implements painter's algorithm for face rendering
  • Supports diffuse and specular lighting calculations
  • Automatically handles face culling and depth sorting
  • Uses normalized light direction for consistent lighting across cube faces

Color Scheme Details

  • Rainbow: HSV-based colors with 80% saturation
  • Monochrome: Grayscale values from 255 to 60
  • Neon: Bright, saturated complementary colors
  • Pastel: Soft, desaturated colors
  • Cyberpunk: High-contrast neon combinations
