rlm@0 10 * The Problem
rlm@0 11 So you've made your cool new JMonkeyEngine3 game and you want to
rlm@0 12 create a demo video to show off your hard work. Screen capturing is
rlm@0 13 the most straightforward way to do this, but it can slow down your
rlm@0 14 game and produce low-quality video as a result. A better way is to
rlm@0 15 record a video feed directly from the game while it is
rlm@0 16 running.
rlm@0 17
rlm@0 18 In this post, I'll explain how you can alter your JMonkeyEngine3 game
rlm@0 19 to output video while it is running. The main trick is to alter the
rlm@0 20 pace of JMonkeyEngine3's in-game time: we allow the engine as much
rlm@0 21 time as it needs to compute complicated in-game events and to encode
rlm@0 22 video frames. As a result, the game appears to speed up and slow down
rlm@0 23 as the computational demands shift, but the end result is perfectly
rlm@0 24 smooth video output at a constant framerate.
rlm@0 25
rlm@0 26
rlm@0 27 * Game-time vs. User-time vs. Video-time
rlm@0 28
rlm@0 29 A standard JME3 application that extends =SimpleApplication= or
rlm@0 30 =Application= tries as hard as it can to keep in sync with
rlm@0 31 /user-time/. If a ball is rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour in the
rlm@0 32 game, and you wait for one user-hour as measured by the clock on your
rlm@0 33 wall, then the ball should have traveled exactly one game-mile. In
rlm@0 34 order to keep sync with the real world, the game throttles its physics
rlm@0 35 engine and graphics display. If the computations involved in running
rlm@0 36 the game are too intense, then the game will first skip frames, then
rlm@0 37 sacrifice physics accuracy. If there are particuraly demanding
rlm@0 38 computations, then you may only get 1 fps, and the ball may tunnel
rlm@0 39 through the floor or obstacles due to inaccurate physics simulation,
rlm@0 40 but after the end of one user-hour, that ball will have traveled one
rlm@0 41 game-mile.
rlm@0 42
rlm@0 43 When we're recording video, we don't care if the game-time syncs with
rlm@0 44 user-time, but instead whether the time in the recorded video
rlm@0 45 (video-time) syncs with user-time. To continue the analogy, if we
rlm@0 46 recorded the ball rolling at 1 game-mile per game-hour and watched the
rlm@0 47 video later, we would want to see 30 fps video of the ball rolling at
rlm@0 48 1 video-mile per /user-hour/. It doesn't matter how much user-time it
rlm@0 49 took to simulate that hour of game-time to make the high-quality
rlm@0 50 recording.
rlm@0 51
rlm@0 52 * COMMENT Two examples to clarify the point:
rlm@0 53 ** Recording from a Simple Simulation
rlm@0 54
rlm@0 55 *** Without a Special Timer
rlm@0 56 You have a simulation of a ball rolling on an infinite empty plane at
rlm@0 57 one game-mile per game-hour, and a really good computer. Normally,
rlm@0 58 JME3 will throttle the physics engine and graphics display to sync the
rlm@0 59 game-time with user-time. If it takes one-thousandth of a second
rlm@0 60 user-time to simulate one-sixtieth of a second game time and another
rlm@0 61 one-thousandth of a second to draw to the screen, then JME3 will just
rlm@0 62 sit around for the remainder of $\frac{1}{60} - \frac{2}{1000}$
rlm@0 63 user-seconds, then calculate the next frame in $\frac{2}{1000}$
rlm@0 64 user-seconds, then wait, and so on. For every second of user time that
rlm@0 65 passes, one second of game-time passes, and the game will run at 60
rlm@0 66 frames per user-second.
rlm@0 67
rlm@0 68
rlm@0 69 *** With a Special Timer
rlm@0 70 Then, you change the game's timer so that user-time will be synced to
rlm@0 71 video-time. Assume that encoding a single frame takes 0 seconds
rlm@0 72 user-time to complete.
rlm@0 73
rlm@0 74 Now, JME3 takes advantage of all available resources. It still takes
rlm@0 75 one-thousandth of a second to calculate a physics tick, and another
rlm@0 76 one-thousandth to render to the screen. Then it takes 0 seconds to
rlm@0 77 write the video frame to disk and encode the video. In only one second
rlm@0 78 of user time, JME3 will complete 500 physics-tick/render/encode-video
rlm@0 79 cycles, and $\frac{500}{60}=8\frac{1}{3}$ seconds of game-time will
rlm@0 80 have passed. Game-time appears to dilate $8\frac{1}{3}\times$ with
rlm@0 81 respect to user-time, and in only 7.2 minutes user-time, one hour of
rlm@0 82 video will have been recorded. The game itself will run at 500 fps.
rlm@0 83 When someone watches the video, they will see 60 frames per
rlm@0 84 user-second, and $\frac{1}{60}$ video-seconds will pass each frame. It
rlm@0 85 will take exactly one hour user-time (and one hour video-time) for the
rlm@0 86 ball in the video to travel one video-mile.
rlm@0 87
rlm@0 88 ** Recording from a Complex Simulation
rlm@0 89
rlm@0 90 *** Without a Special Timer
rlm@0 91 You have a simulation of a ball rolling on an infinite empty plane at
rlm@0 92 one game-mile per game-hour accompanied by multiple explosions
rlm@0 93 involving thousands of nodes, particle effects, and complicated shadow
rlm@0 94 shaders to create realistic shadows. You also have a slow
rlm@0 95 laptop. Normally, JME3 must sacrifice rendering and physics simulation
rlm@0 96 to try to keep up. If it takes $\frac{1}{120}$ of a user-second to
rlm@0 97 calculate $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds, and an additional
rlm@0 98 $\frac{1}{60}$ of a user-second to render to screen, then JME3 has
rlm@0 99 it's work cut out for it. In order to render to the screen, it will
rlm@0 100 first step the game forward by up to four physics ticks before
rlm@0 101 rendering to the screen. If it still isn't fast enough then it will
rlm@0 102 decrease the accuracy of the physics engine until game-time and user
rlm@0 103 time are synched or a certain threshold is reached, at which point the
rlm@0 104 game visibly slows down. In this case, JME3 continuously repeat a
rlm@0 105 cycle of two physics ticks, and one screen render. For every
rlm@0 106 user-second that passes, one game-second will pass, but the game will
rlm@0 107 run at 30 fps instead of 60 fps like before.
rlm@0 108
rlm@0 109 *** With a Special Timer
rlm@0 110 Then, you change the game's timer so that user-time will be synced to
rlm@0 111 video-time. Once again, assume video encoding takes $\frac{1}{60}$ of
rlm@0 112 a user-second.
rlm@0 113
rlm@0 114 Now, JME3 will spend $\frac{1}{120}$ of a user-second to step the
rlm@0 115 physics tick $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds, $\frac{1}{60}$ to draw to
rlm@0 116 the screen, and an additional $\frac{1}{60}$ to encode the video and
rlm@0 117 write the frame to disk. This is a total of $\frac{1}{24}$
rlm@0 118 user-seconds for each $\frac{1}{60}$ game-seconds. It will take
rlm@0 119 $(\frac{60}{24} = 2.5)$ user-hours to record one game-hour and game-time
rlm@0 120 will appear to flow two-fifths as fast as user time while the game is
rlm@0 121 running. However, just as in example one, when all is said and done we
rlm@0 122 will have an hour long video at 60 fps.
rlm@0 123

rlm@0 125 * COMMENT proposed names for the new timer
rlm@0 126 # METRONOME
rlm@0 127 # IsoTimer
rlm@0 128 # EvenTimer
rlm@0 129 # PulseTimer
rlm@0 130 # FixedTimer
rlm@0 131 # RigidTimer
rlm@0 132 # FixedTempo
rlm@0 133 # RegularTimer
rlm@0 134 # MetronomeTimer
rlm@0 135 # ConstantTimer
rlm@0 136 # SteadyTimer
rlm@0 137
rlm@0 138
rlm@0 139 * =IsoTimer= records time like a metronome
rlm@0 140
rlm@0 141 The easiest way to achieve this special timing is to create a new
rlm@0 142 timer that always reports the same framerate to JME3 every time it is
rlm@0 143 called.
rlm@0 144
rlm@0 145
rlm@0 146 =./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/system/IsoTimer.java=
rlm@0 147 #+include ./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/system/IsoTimer.java src java
rlm@0 148
rlm@0 149 If an Application uses this =IsoTimer= instead of the normal one, we
rlm@0 150 can be sure that every call to =simpleUpdate=, for example, corresponds
rlm@0 151 to exactly $(\frac{1}{fps})$ seconds of game-time.
rlm@0 152
rlm@0 153 In order to facilitate setting the =Timer= in user code, I added
rlm@0 154 getter and setter methods to =Application.java=.
rlm@0 155
rlm@0 156 In =./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/Application.java= I added:
rlm@0 157 #+include ./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/Application.java src java :lines "340-356"
rlm@0 158
rlm@0 159 * Encoding to Video
rlm@0 160
rlm@0 161 Now that the issue of time is solved, we just need a function that
rlm@0 162 writes each frame to a video. We can put this function somewhere
rlm@0 163 where it will be called exactly one per frame.
rlm@0 164
rlm@0 165 JME3 already provides exactly the class we need: the =SceneProcessor=
rlm@0 166 class can be attached to any viewport and the methods defined therein
rlm@0 167 will be called at the appropriate points in the rendering process.
rlm@0 168
rlm@0 169 If you want to generate video from Java, a great option is [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]]. It
rlm@0 170 takes care of everything related to video encoding and decoding and
rlm@0 171 runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. Out of all the video frameworks for
rlm@0 172 Java I personally like this one the best.
rlm@0 173
rlm@0 174 Here is a =SceneProcessor= that uses [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]] to write each frame to a
rlm@0 175 video file.
rlm@0 176
rlm@0 177 =./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/VideoProcessor.java=
rlm@0 178 #+include ./jme3/src/core/com/jme3/app/VideoProcessor.java src java
rlm@0 179
rlm@0 180 With this, we are able to record video!
rlm@0 181
rlm@0 182 * Hello Video!
rlm@0 183
rlm@0 184 I've taken [[http://code.google.com/p/jmonkeyengine/source/browse/trunk/engine/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloLoop.java][=./jme3/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloLoop.java=]] and
rlm@0 185 augmented it with video output as follows:
rlm@0 186
rlm@0 187 =./jme3/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloVideo.java=
rlm@0 188 #+include ./jme3/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloVideo.java src java
rlm@0 189
rlm@0 190 The videos are created in the =hello-video= directory

rlm@0 220 * Summary
rlm@0 221 It's quite easy to augment your own application to record video,
rlm@0 222 almost regardless of how complicated the actual application is. You
rlm@0 223 can also record from multiple ViewPorts as the above example shows.
rlm@0 224
rlm@0 225 The process for adding video recording to your application is as
rlm@0 226 follows:
rlm@0 227
rlm@0 228 Assuming you want to record at 30 fps, add:
rlm@0 229
rlm@0 230 #+begin_src java :exports code
rlm@0 231 this.setTimer(new IsoTimer(30));
rlm@0 232 #+end_src
rlm@0 233
rlm@0 234 Somewhere in the initialization of your Application. Right now, you
rlm@0 235 will have to add the =setTimer= method to =Application=, but hopefully
rlm@0 236 this method will be included soon by the JMonkeyEngine3 team.
rlm@0 237
rlm@0 238 Then, you create a =VideoProcessor= object and attach it to the
rlm@0 239 =ViewPort= from which you want to record.
rlm@0 240
rlm@0 241 If you want to record from the game's main =ViewPort= to a file called
rlm@0 242 =/home/r/record.flv=, then add:
rlm@0 243
rlm@0 244 #+begin_src java :exports code
rlm@0 245 viewPort.addProcessor(new VideoProcessor(new File("/home/r/record.flv")));
rlm@0 246 #+end_src
rlm@0 247
rlm@0 248 Do this for each =ViewPort= from which you want to record. The more
rlm@0 249 ViewPorts from which you record, the slower the game will run, but
rlm@0 250 this slowness will not affect the final video output.
rlm@0 251
rlm@0 252 * More Examples
rlm@0 253 ** Hello Physics
rlm@0 254 =HelloVideo= is boring. Let's add some video capturing to =HelloPhysics=
rlm@0 255 and create something fun!
rlm@0 256
rlm@0 257 This example is a modified version of =HelloPhysics= that creates four
rlm@0 258 simultaneous views of the same scene of cannonballs careening into a
rlm@0 259 brick wall.
rlm@0 260
rlm@0 261 =./jme3/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloPhysicsWithVideo.java=
rlm@0 262 #+include ./jme3/src/test/jme3test/helloworld/HelloPhysicsWithVideo.java src java
rlm@0 263
rlm@0 264 Running the program outputs four videos into the =./physics-videos=
rlm@0 265 directory.
rlm@0 266
rlm@0 267 #+begin_src sh :exports both :results verbatim
rlm@0 268 ls ./physics-videos | grep -
rlm@0 269 #+end_src

rlm@0 276
rlm@0 277 The videos are fused together with the following =gstreamer= commands:
