Ride of the Valkyries - TrackMania

I created a race track matching "Ride of the Valkyries" by Richard Wagner using TrackMania's level editor.

When I learned TrackMania had a deterministic physics engine I instantly wanted to try this. Turns out 3-D music synchronization is more complicated than 2-D projects I've done in the past with Line Rider.

Although there are checkpoints in TrackMania, there is no way to save the velocity, angles, and position of the vehicle midway through the track that I know of. Therefore, I had to restart from the beginning every time I wanted to adjust or move a block. I think I hold the record for most times listening to this piece in a month.

Wagner would be proud.
Confused, but proud.

The parts where the car falls backwards while the strings moved down in pitch were the best.

I really enjoy how this not only is synchronized with the song but also captures the character of the song by what the car does.

At what altitude does a flying car need to comply with federal aviation regulations?

[AEiro]

omg that sync when the formula is falling 💦

YouTube’s algorithm finally working as intended.

The fact that even the small bounces when the car lands at an angle line up with the music is even more impressive

"Therefore, I had to restart from the beginning every time I wanted to adjust or move a block. I think I hold the record for most times listening to this piece in a month." no doubt mate, no doubt,
but was it worth it? hell yeah!

TrackMania!!! I can't believe there are other people in the domino/machine community who play TrackMania too! This was an amazing track, great job as always!

[robertbrowne]

I'm not gonna ask why this is in my recommendations I'm just glad it was

[nsper]

All memes aside, the man who actually did this is pure skilled

[mgng]

i cant be the only one who nearly cried when even the car bounces were synced at 1:08

[KnuxSD]

Remember Linerider? This is him now.
Feel old yet?

[Moregano]

This is incredible but my one criticism is that the car should of course be german

[adamkalwasinski]

I need a video of someone that doesn't know it's automatic, trying to beat this

[TheXeeman]

1:08 holy shit you timed the bounce of the wheels when it lands to the music as well WTF

[sniclops]

I love how you not only made a press forward map that synced with this song, but you also made the car's actions reflect the mood of the song at different stages. From the massive jumps to the slow, gradual falling. It fit together so well. Nicely done, man. Keep it up!

1:30 i love how the music turns into something like old cartoons that when they fall you hear a violin going down

[datguyuno]

I don't even want to think about how long this took
