How it was made

• This was the first loop I made.
• Built out in Blender. No 3D modeling went into this one because, as all geometry I needed was a handful of spheres for the celestial bodies, all textures, animations and backdrops are built procedurally in the various node editors.
• Geometry Nodes weren't yet a thing, so this was animated using a plugin called "Animation Nodes", which here describe the movement and scaling of the various tiles and columns coming together to build the bridge as an infinite loop. This loop is only 2 seconds long.
• The camera is fixed at origin (0,0,0) to keep the numbers easy to reason about.
• A 180 degrees / stereo 3D version of this loop was also rendered for VR.
