Working on some 3D motion graphics and animations has been very therapeutic for me as well, so here's my latest offering. This was an experimental particle animation of some 3d spheres in which I was attempting to find some new patterns of color and motion. I really didn't have an "end goal" so to speak with this one, but I was really pleasantly surprised by the way it turned out. The only thing I was sure of going into this was the color scheme. Everything else kind of fell into place as I played around with settings and nodes. I call this one "In Bloom" for lack of a better term. I feel like it represents growth and cycles of life in the way it assembles itself and then the patterns of colors emerging as the particles progressively age. I hope you enjoy.
