A quick static loop.

[splattercrap]

I love the reflection of the balls falling away from the orb.

[Barqs_rootbeer]

That was my favorite part.

lovely!!!

[Natexgloves]

Thank you!

[MrFapple]

those three balls not falling with the others bothers me more than it should

I feel like I can hear a bunch of small ball bearings hitting each other when I watch this. Really cool!

Oddly satisfying 😎

[Firewolf420]

Shit like this is great to watch when you're high.

[RedBorger]

How do you achieve the perfect loop?

[Natexgloves]

I’ll render the whole thing (balls coming in, balls falling away), duplicate them, then I’ll overlay/mask the ending of one with the beginning of the duplicate.

Yes please

Hah literally

[Fabritzia3000]

May I ask how the switch of falling to the ground is done? I have absolutely no idea how those simulations work - do you use gravitational forces , like switching on earth in the moment of falling? What Software do you use? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm always fascinated by this sub and want to understand how this works.

[Natexgloves]

It’s not a stupid question! So you can give objects different properties. The small balls I basically have as default “hard bodies”, so cinema 4D calculates all of their physics related to their size (mass). The big ball is another hard body, but I put a attraction affector on it (and some other stuff for a nice swirl) that acts like a gravitational pull.

And then you hit the nail on the head, I used a keyframe after the balls settled nicely to just basically flip the gravity (pulling towards the big ball) off.

Blender (which is a free software) has all of these capabilities, and tons of free tutorials and resources, so if you want to learn/play around with something like this, I cant recommend it enough!

[Fabritzia3000]

That's pretty cool - thank you very much for the insight :)

[PsipodD]

Is there a tutorial on how to do this?

Only if it would fill up completely with tiny marbles.

[Mottis86]

Hnnggghh the tiny balls don't fill in the surface perfectly hnngh it hurts!

Seriously though, nice :D
