Another week with not a lot of time, so I grabbed a free resource and used it to practice shape keys.

Avocado Toast

Scheduling had us both in a bit of a rush this week so we decided to to something simple. I wanted to try expressing an idea that I’ve had about looping animations for a while now, see if it would actually work as I figured it should. Aside from rendering some low-poly food to use as assets, and what I did was set up a procedural background, and then tied that background to the position in space, of an empty object. Then I animated that object through a circular looping animation, meaning that when the animation had finished, it would have smoothly looped completely around in a non-obvious way. Worked out exactly as I’d hoped and produced these trippy animations.

Moon Moth

The subject this week was a moth with a moon in the background. My wife finished her painting quickly this week and I wanted to mess around with animation, so I came up with this idea. I took a picture of her moth in fact, and then cut that out and used it as a texture for my piece. I then spiced it up by having the animation rotate through hue, saturation, etc.
