MatericLook: HypnoCircles_00 looping animation

Another looping animation, this time I went for an hypnotic movement that makes the viewer dizzy :-)

I created the animation by distributing circles on the surface of a rotating sphere, then scaling them down according to their distance from the vertical plane cutting the sphere perpendicularly to the viewer.

There’s also a light (around 30°) rotation on the horizontal axis parallel to the viewing plane, interpolated and with its apex at half the total running time (150 frames).

Don’t stare too long, someone is really reporting dizziness after a minute or so…..

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%.

MutaSphere00 on s[edition]

A world-sized creature/planet, sentient, partially organic and partially mechanical, he/she/it moves and re-configures itself. Its sounds and some of the movements and shaping give away the partly artificial birth.

The first MutaSphere is also part of the setting constantly developed by DoPe, a futuristic view of space organisms/planets, a blend of worlds and spacecrafts, place to live and living things. These entities suggest the influence of some form of civilization through technological or mechanical aspects, influenced by humanities coexisting with and within them.

Also this work starts from a physical drawing, illuminated and digitally photographed multiple times. The pictures were then elaborated and combined, to produce a set of new images, used to generate the base colors and features of the planet. As last steps further movements and animations were given to the sphere and a soundtrack was recorded, digitally enhanced and added to the work.

If you like this or some other works I’ve done, please consider supporting me on Patreon and get tutorials, help or custom works in return!
