    Hi Bruno, the can and the pattern at the bottom of the frame are the only imported files, the rest is created from scratch. Unfortunately I can’t provide those files due to copyright limitations but you should be able to find Red Bull can online somewhere ;)

    Very nice tutorial series. At that time you were linking the sound to the border (grid) I was hoping you´ll add a *-1 cause the blocks would be bigger when the beat beats. :-)
