German artist, Andre Baran has created a stunning animation based on the idea: "What complexity fits in a Sphere?"
Andre writes:
The theme of this study is the mechanical transformation, a change of the form. The 5 items that have arisen here, fall back in form and process of change on analogies from nature. A sphere, the simplest geometric shape that we know, serves as a starting form.
It was made in CAD Software (SolidWorks and Rhino) an than imported in Blender for mapping, lightning and animation.
Cool :)
This one got me thinking. It's a very cool video. It reminded me of Pixar's Lamp.
pixar's lamp, was exactly what I thought too!
