MatericLook: Geoloop_00 looping animation

Looping animation: Another small and playful one as a GIF…

I like the unstable look given by the flickering and the “2D or 3D?” impression.

It’s very simple, I just deformed a geometry with a moving 3D noise field, the only other animated parameter being the deformation scale:

I started with a basic solid, a buckyball (combination of hexagons and pentagons, the name comes from Buckminster Fuller, that could be another subject for a talk on geodesic structures…), then mapped the vertexes positions to a noise field, moving across 1 axis with a 50 frames period (so each 50 frames the field is in the same exact position).

The same scaling is then multiplied by an animated value going from 0 to 9 across 24 frames at the start, the opposite at the end of the animation (149 frames total), so it will smooth out and make the animation looping. Animations are interpolated for smoother transitions.

I used a black and white not interpolated ramp, mapped to the surface normal angle, as shader color and opacity. It’s a simple black ramp, (0) getting totally white (1) at around 95%.

MatericLook: Old Heater, A short story & Remains00

Remains00

Old Heater:

“The only entry could be through a broken and very small horizontal window panel… the lowest one has some dangerous shards that it’s better to remove before crawling inside. It’s also good practice to take a look inside before just falling in…. and that’s a good idea, the floor is near and it’s a lot better to push myself in facing upwards, to not get stuck or hit with my legs the other glass panels.

There’s barely the space to push my torso in…. …holding my breath!…

In a few seconds I pass through, the room is huge, should have been a workshop or something similar. near the other end the darkness is almost complete, let’s go check it out…

The floor is almost empty, almost nothing has been left behind when the building was abandoned, only dust, dirt and the occasional rubble pile. The dark zone hides the remains of a demolished brick wall, behind that an innatural blackness surrounds everything, the light from my torch doesn’t penetrate… what?

Approaching the darkness I understand what’s going on: the whole area is covered in a thick layer of black dust, coal, probably… There are a pair of giant holes in the walls, it seems were furnaces. However the floor isn’t really visible, there are broken bricks covered by the black powder and I can clearly see at least a large hole that could be dangerous. In any case it doesn’t seem an area particularly interesting, I think it was carefully emptied years ago.

I go back near the entry point and explore the area there. There’s a wooden panel separating this from another section, it’s possible to push a kind of door, some nailed boards mounted on hinges, and pass through.

The other side is more “lively”, also abandoned, but probably less years have passed since someone was there. Other panels divide smaller sections, workbenches here and there, nothing else left behind except for a zone near a corner.

An old heater’s there, probably left after the plant was closed, and some kind of filter and regulator for an air compressor or some other type of gas tank.
Looking around is possible to see various other tubes and filters, near the abandoned sideboards lay some old hand tools.

Maybe the heater has been used by the person that lived in this space not so many years ago. It’s not electric, so he/she could have used it to protect himself from the freezing winters, common in this region. Under one of the workbenches thare’s a large shelf for tools, large enough to sleep on it… there are some shredded clothes stuffed inside… a sort of nest.”

“The structure is crumbling and the snow isn’t making the situation any better… actually it’s the worst possible time to have a look inside, but I can’t help… let’s just be cautious and double check floors and ceilings…”
