Hello, i will post my evolution with Unity 3D to create a 3D Drums for Aerodrums. Im not a advanced Unity 3D developer, so if you want to help i appreciate !

Objective and todo list:

1 - Create a 3D Application with a 3D Virtual Drum Kit that react with MIDI Notes sent by Aerodrums application using 'default MIDI MAP';
2 - Create a Green Screen 3D enviroment to use with OpenBroadcaster to MIX a realtime video feed with the 3D virtual Drums.

MIDI NOTES and Drum Pieces:

Here you can download the first build to test with Aerodrums running MIDI Out.

Windows Users Only!

How to use:
You need to download 'LoopMIDI' and disable the MIDI Feedback feature on configuration. https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html

The Cubes will react with the MIDI NOTES.

Next step: configure a 3D Drum Kit model

First Chroma Test

Image

To use the software with OpenBroadcaster (OBS) you will need to learn how its works.

You should create a Scene with the Unity 3D application and apply the Chromakey Filter, after you can add your camera and manage the order of screen ( top or down).

I found a free alternative from the great site called BlendSwap, author is 'bryanajones', the license of this model is Creative Commons, and this is awesome too.

You can download here: https://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/75467

Next Step: Now i need to install blender and convert the 3D object to .FBX Format.

Before set PBR materials, i need to reorganize 3D objects to confirm each is unique, because each piece ( snare, kick, crash...) needs to works individual (reacting by MIDI notes)... I will think how to do that ( shake?)
