Hello, I am doing a very experimental and abstract animation for one of my classes so please humor and bear with me as this doesn’t have a strong concept and the idea of the class is to be experimental/exploratory of 3D Programs (Rhino is, of course, my choice because its…the best). Also all feedback and ideas are welcome!!!
I created an extremely complex point cloud and I would like for it to animate along a path on two seperate anchors points (aethetics of a 3D spirograph, yeah i know…what?). Then I would like to create a 3D curve that will follow the path of the points moving through space. (imagine a point cloud made out of LED’s that you throw into the air at night, image a long exposure photograph of this) I would then bring this into after effects and post-edit what those curves will do. Here is my inspiration, I dont want to replicate this but you may be able to see where I’m going(Its the first video posted on 10/7). @m_cericson Any better ideas on how to do this?
Question
How can I animate a point cloud while simultaneously creating curves following the points path. I do not need to record this action, I only need the output curves.
I understand this may bleed into the grasshopper realm, and please let me know if you would like me to repost.
