How it was made

• One of the first experiments using Animation Nodes to produce infinitely looping animations in Blender.
• The camera is fixed at origin (0,0,0) to keep the numbers easy to reason about. The landscape is comprised of multiple identical "slices" that are moved towards it.
• A 180 degrees / stereo 3D version of this loop was also rendered for VR.
• If a layer is marked as 'AI Layer', it means that I took one of the 3D-rendered layers and, in the summer of 2022, passed it through an image-to-image stable diffusion AI model frame-by-frame via a python script. This was before AI videos were a thing, so the results aren't perfect and by all counts very experimental, but they were often good enough to add some variation to the layers I could then play with in compositing.
