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@0 124
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@42 146 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/IsoTimer.java=
rlm@42 147 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/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 * Encoding to Video
rlm@0 154
rlm@0 155 Now that the issue of time is solved, we just need a function that
rlm@0 156 writes each frame to a video. We can put this function somewhere
rlm@0 157 where it will be called exactly one per frame.
rlm@0 158
rlm@42 159 The basic functions that a =VideoRecorder= should support are
rlm@42 160 recording, starting, stopping, and possibly a final finishing step
rlm@42 161 there it finilizes the recording (such as writing headers for a video
rlm@42 162 file).
rlm@42 163
rlm@42 164 An appropiate interface describing this behaviour could look like
rlm@42 165 this:
rlm@42 166
rlm@42 167 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/video/VideoRecorder.java=
rlm@42 168 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/video/VideoRecorder.java src java
rlm@42 169
rlm@42 170
rlm@0 171 JME3 already provides exactly the class we need: the =SceneProcessor=
rlm@0 172 class can be attached to any viewport and the methods defined therein
rlm@0 173 will be called at the appropriate points in the rendering process.
rlm@0 174
rlm@42 175 However, it is also important to properly close the video stream and
rlm@42 176 write headers and such, and even though =SceneProcessor= has a
rlm@42 177 =.cleanup()= method, it is only called when the =SceneProcessor= is
rlm@42 178 removed from the =RenderManager=, not when the game is shutting down
rlm@42 179 when the user pressed ESC, for example. To obtain reliable shutdown
rlm@42 180 behaviour, we also have to implement =AppState=, which provides a
rlm@42 181 =.cleanup()= method that /is/ called on shutdown.
rlm@42 182
rlm@42 183 Here is an AbstractVideoRecorder class that takes care of the details
rlm@42 184 of setup and teardown.
rlm@42 185
rlm@42 186 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/video/AbstractVideoRecorder.java=
rlm@42 187 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/video/AbstractVideoRecorder.java src java
rlm@42 188
rlm@0 189 If you want to generate video from Java, a great option is [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]]. It
rlm@0 190 takes care of everything related to video encoding and decoding and
rlm@0 191 runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. Out of all the video frameworks for
rlm@0 192 Java I personally like this one the best.
rlm@0 193
rlm@42 194 Here is a =VideoRecorder= that uses [[http://www.xuggle.com/][Xuggle]] to write each frame to a
rlm@0 195 video file.
rlm@0 196
rlm@42 197 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/video/XuggleVideoRecorder.java=
rlm@42 198 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/video/XuggleVideoRecorder.java src java
rlm@0 199
rlm@0 200 With this, we are able to record video!
rlm@0 201
rlm@42 202 However, it can be hard to properly install Xuggle. For those of you
rlm@42 203 who would rather not use Xuggle, here is an alternate class that uses
rlm@42 204 [[http://www.randelshofer.ch/blog/2008/08/writing-avi-videos-in-pure-java/][Werner Randelshofer's]] excellent pure Java AVI file writer.
rlm@42 205
rlm@42 206 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/video/AVIVideoRecorder.java=
rlm@42 207 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/video/AVIVideoRecorder.java src java
rlm@42 208
rlm@42 209 This =AVIVideoRecorder= is more limited than the
rlm@42 210 =XuggleVideoRecorder=, but requires less external dependencies.
rlm@42 211
rlm@42 212 Finally, for those of you who prefer to create the final video from a
rlm@42 213 sequence of images, there is the =FileVideoRecorder=, which records
rlm@42 214 each frame to a folder as a sequentially numbered image file. Note
rlm@42 215 that you have to remember the FPS at which you recorded the video, as
rlm@42 216 this information is lost when saving each frame to a file.
rlm@42 217
rlm@42 218 =./src/com/aurellem/capture/video/FileVideoRecorder.java=
rlm@42 219 #+include ../../jmeCapture/src/com/aurellem/capture/video/FileVideoRecorder.java src java
rlm@42 220
rlm@42 221
rlm@42 222 * /Really/ Simple Video Recording
rlm@42 223
rlm@42 224 The most common case for recording a video is probably to just capture
rlm@42 225 whatever is on your screen exactly as you see it. In this case, this
rlm@42 226 method will do.
rlm@42 227
rlm@42 228 #+begin_src java
rlm@42 229 public static void captureVideo(final Application app,
rlm@42 230 final File file) throws IOException{
rlm@42 231 final AbstractVideoRecorder videoRecorder;
rlm@42 232 if (file.getCanonicalPath().endsWith(".avi")){
rlm@42 233 videoRecorder = new AVIVideoRecorder(file);}
rlm@42 234 else if (file.isDirectory()){
rlm@42 235 videoRecorder = new FileVideoRecorder(file);}
rlm@42 236 else { videoRecorder = new XuggleVideoRecorder(file);}
rlm@42 237
rlm@42 238 Callable<Object> thunk = new Callable<Object>(){
rlm@42 239 public Object call(){
rlm@42 240 ViewPort viewPort =
rlm@42 241 app.getRenderManager()
rlm@42 242 .createPostView("aurellem record", app.getCamera());
rlm@42 243 viewPort.setClearFlags(false, false, false);
rlm@42 244 // get GUI node stuff
rlm@42 245 for (Spatial s : app.getGuiViewPort().getScenes()){
rlm@42 246 viewPort.attachScene(s);
rlm@42 247 }
rlm@42 248 app.getStateManager().attach(videoRecorder);
rlm@42 249 viewPort.addProcessor(videoRecorder);
rlm@42 250 return null;
rlm@42 251 }
rlm@42 252 };
rlm@42 253 app.enqueue(thunk);
rlm@42 254 }
rlm@42 255 #+end_src
rlm@42 256
rlm@42 257 This will select the appropiate backend =VideoRecorder= class
rlm@42 258 depending on the file name you specify, and insturment your
rlm@42 259 application to record video to the file. You should still set the
rlm@42 260 game's timer to an =IsoTimer= with the desired fps.
rlm@42 261
rlm@42 262 This example will record video from the ocean scene from the
rlm@42 263 jMonkeyEngine test suite.
rlm@42 264 #+begin_src java
rlm@42 265 File video = File.createTempFile("JME-water-video", ".avi");
rlm@42 266 captureVideo(app, video);
rlm@42 267 app.start();
rlm@42 268 System.out.println(video.getCanonicalPath());
rlm@42 269 #+end_src
rlm@42 270
rlm@42 271
rlm@42 272 I've added support for this under a class called
rlm@42 273 =com.aurellem.capture.Capture=. You can get it [[http://hg.bortreb.com/jmeCapture/][here]].
rlm@42 274
rlm@42 275
rlm@0 276 * Hello Video!
rlm@0 277

rlm@0 279 augmented it with video output as follows:

rlm@42 282 #+include ../../src/com/aurellem/capture/examples/HelloVideo.java src java

rlm@0 312
rlm@0 313 * Summary
rlm@0 314 It's quite easy to augment your own application to record video,
rlm@0 315 almost regardless of how complicated the actual application is. You
rlm@0 316 can also record from multiple ViewPorts as the above example shows.
rlm@0 317
rlm@0 318 The process for adding video recording to your application is as
rlm@0 319 follows:
rlm@0 320
rlm@0 321 Assuming you want to record at 30 fps, add:
rlm@0 322
rlm@0 323 #+begin_src java :exports code
rlm@0 324 this.setTimer(new IsoTimer(30));
rlm@0 325 #+end_src
rlm@0 326
rlm@42 327 Somewhere in the initialization of your Application.
rlm@0 328
rlm@0 329 If you want to record from the game's main =ViewPort= to a file called
rlm@0 330 =/home/r/record.flv=, then add:
rlm@0 331
rlm@0 332 #+begin_src java :exports code
rlm@42 333 Capture.captureVideo(app, new File("/home/r/record.flv"));
rlm@0 334 #+end_src
rlm@0 335
rlm@42 336 Before you call =app.start()=;
rlm@0 337
rlm@0 338 * More Examples
rlm@42 339 ** COMMENT Hello Physics
rlm@0 340 =HelloVideo= is boring. Let's add some video capturing to =HelloPhysics=
rlm@0 341 and create something fun!
rlm@0 342

rlm@0 344 simultaneous views of the same scene of cannonballs careening into a
rlm@0 345 brick wall.

rlm@0 351 directory.
