PulseBake animates lights, objects, materials and cameras directly from your audio. Real keyframes. No scripting. Done in two minutes.
Four combinable effects in one preset. Stack scale, bounce, color shift and emission glow simultaneously — each one reacting to a different part of the frequency spectrum.
Animate any light's intensity or color directly from the audio signal. From soft ambient breathing to hard strobe effects — all baked as real keyframes.
Drive the emission strength of any material from the audio. Perfect for neon signs, glowing runes or energy fields that breathe with the music.
Add real handheld energy to any render. The camera shakes in position and rotation on every bass hit — fully keyframed and fully editable afterwards.
A force field inside your Mantaflow domain reacts to the music — pushing, pulling or shaking the fluid in perfect sync with the beat.
Animate the density and fuel of a Mantaflow gas domain directly from the audio. Flame throwers, fog machines and energy bursts that fire on the drop.
Select multiple objects and each one gets its own frequency band. A living, breathing equalizer — built in one click, no manual setup needed.
Each object in a row reacts slightly later than the previous — creating a satisfying travelling wave effect, driven entirely by audio.
Features
No Python scripting, no manual F-curves. Just set it up and bake.
Switch between smooth volume-based animation or sharp beat-detection impulses — or combine both.
Filter by frequency. Isolate bass, mids or treble so each object reacts to exactly the right part of the audio.
Select multiple objects and each reacts slightly later — creating a wave effect across a row in one click.
PulseBake writes actual F-curve keyframes. Edit or delete them afterwards just like any animation.
One-click reset removes all baked keyframes and restores your original values — no side effects.
Each object has fully independent settings. Mix different presets and Hz ranges in the same scene.

Yes — all presets work with both renderers. PulseBake only writes keyframes, so the renderer doesn't matter.
WAV and MP3 are both supported.
Blender 5.0 or newer is required.
Yes — all baked keyframes are regular F-curves you can freely edit in the Graph Editor or Timeline.
Click the Reset button in the PulseBake panel — it removes all baked keyframes instantly and restores your original values.
Not directly — PulseBake animates object properties and materials. Geometry Nodes support is planned for a future update.
