Dynamic Machine Challenge
This was a looping animation made as the entry for Pwnisher's youtube channel render challenge. The challenge was to create an animation where a ball would enter from the top at a specific frame and exit from the bottom at another specific frame. What would happen in between was for each one to decide and create. This render was selected as one of the top 100 out of the nearly 1900 submissions.
From the very beginning the idea was to create something more grounded in reality and that could actually be achieved by someone that had the time and the right combination of elements. From there the idea to use office supplies came as way to have access to several different kinds of objects which could be used in a lot of different ways. Also they were all basic hard surface models, so that reduce a little of the overall complexity of the project. Once the office theme became more well defined, then it came quite naturally the idea to add some small details that could reference the TV show "The Office" :)
Here are some of the 2d textures created for the post-its, and other 3d elements in the scene.
This is the final version with added sound effects
