"Golyók" (Balls)

Animation

2002

This animation was created for a contest, where the task was to produce a 50 second long clip just in two weeks. (Unfortunately the whole contest was cancelled, just after I submitted the animation.)

Watch it online or download (24 Mb).

It took 4 days to plan the animation and draw the storyboard. The rest of the work was created using Lightwave. During the day I was modeling and animating, and the frames were rendered during the night.

Working with solid body dynamics was quite interesting. I experienced the "butterfly effect": a minimal change of starting parameters will result in a completely different outcome. It was compelling to see the behavior of a bunch of balls, controlled by the laws of physics.
