Oftentimes, their lack of scientific understanding would be cause for outlandish asks, and the Granting Voice would figure out a way to make them possible regardless: bridges extending infinitely into the sky, spaceships made of marble, entire ring worlds built for a family of four.
Read the Background Story →How it was made
- Everything modeled directly within Blender. A few different building clusters generated via python with varying sizes and shapes, then duplicated and transformed to fill the space into the horizon.
- Geometry Nodes weren't yet a thing, so this was made using a plugin called "Animation Nodes". Here they are used for the self-assembling bridge, as well as controlling the fading-in and out of various clusters of flying vehicles so that the traffic appears like a continuous flow without introducing seams in the infinite loop. This loop is only 4 seconds long.
- The camera is fixed at origin (0,0,0) as usual to keep the numbers easy to reason about.
- A 180 degrees / stereo 3D version of this loop was also rendered for VR.
