We made a little army of mini versions of our creatures from our bubble installation to give out to people! ๐Ÿซง

Our little microcosms 'Kinorbital Habitats', an abstract light art installation, was part of the Off Stage Program at @re-publica.com - thanks so much for having us!

Vonfelt - Je Pars (I'm Leaving) As the night comes, the journey begins. Running rushing, racing. Unbound from time and swept away by the nightโ€™s surreal cascade of lights, we leave day-lifeโ€ฆ

In 2024, we made a hybrid #animation #musicvideo !

We're always on the search for novel ways to combine #2Danimation & #3Danimation, in this case it's animated in #tvpaint & fused back together via projection in #blender

Another older 2Dx3D #ebsynth #animation experiment! Animated half in #tvpaint, half in #blender and all merged afterwards โœจ

Hahaha that's true, and the world is already depressing as is, the only true answer is escapism through abstraction! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜‚

That's true! Had to get used to it, but it added to the "scratchy" feeling, like I was carving into the blackness, so it kind of worked for this one. Thank you so much!

No, I animated everything digitally directly white on black :) But the musician also knew from the beginning he wanted a black background & and a very grainy look, so it made my process quite straightforward!

One half of us (Michelle) directed and animated this #abstract, #surreal, #2D hand-drawn animated #musicvideo for musician Sky Deverel โœจ

Yeah There are invisible bits of geo parented to the rig for the GP loops to be drawn onto and to occlude the back of the GP loops, this one was also from before GP 3, so there's no geo nodes on on the GP elements, only on the mesh bits if i remember correctly! Thanks again for the super kind words!

And now for something non-animation: a 2Dx3D #mural! The mural is full of 2D painted #abstract shapes in fake perspective and 3D wooden shapes in real perspective that sometimes look like fake #perspective, wait, what?

Yeah but its not so much blending as it is syncing the playback of these loops with its placement on a wrapped curve factor

An old little experiment of ours - fusing 2D handdrawn coloured pencil frames with 3D animation with #Ebsynth!

No actually at the time GP3 hadn't come out yet, we tried to work around it but eventually used image sequences, we're gonna upload a little BTS video soon showing the setup. As for GP3xGeonodes we're also learning and experimenting atm but as soon we find some good resources we'll share em here!

Little look back in images at all the projects we've been up to last year - there were music videos, installations, short animations and even a three-dimensional mural! โœจ
