DESIGN NAME: Red Series
PRIMARY FUNCTION: 3D Animation Loops
INSPIRATION: With this project the aim was to create little animation/simulation pieces that catch the viewers eye with things that work just for their own purpose, no more, no less.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The simplistic fantasy machines depicted in these loops are made for just one purpose. With their unpretencious look and clear movements they fulfill it in a simple, yet persistent way. Over and over again they wake an oddly satisfying feeling in the viewers mind.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: When displayed as loops, these videos create a gentle feeling of tranquility, that keeps your eye on the action being performed over and over again.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The first loop was done in March 2017, the last in February 2018.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Movie, Video and Animation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Maxon Cinema 4D with different plugins:
- Rendering: Corona and Redshift
- Liquid Simulation: Realflow
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 3 video loops, 4-6 seconds, 1280 x 1280 pixels
TAGS: 3D Animation, Loop, Simulation, Motion Design, Photorealistic Rendering
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In social media a lot of 3D-animators and motion designers create little video loops. They are more or less quickly done and can help to show but also to develop your skillset as an animator. As I saw a lot of these loops, I decided to also create some of them. I tried to let myself getting inspired without being drawn to much into the mainstream. Therefore, when making these loops, I acted just by myself without comparing it to other work I've seen before and just put them out to let them be seen.
CHALLENGE: When creating these animations, the most challenging part was the physical simulation of the moving objects. A lot of iterations were needed to get the result I wanted to see. The shading of the materials also took a lot of effort and time, as I wanted the most realistic look i could achieve.
