Blender 3d Atom Animation

[JtiksPies]

1. why is there a shadow on the nucleus?

2. I see particles in that nucleus, not quarks

3. the electrons don't go around the atom, they exist in probability clouds and orbit in a small area on one section of the atom. And they're more like standing waves then particles anyways

do u know how to make them keep goin in a circle instead of stopping on one revolution

[doneal777]

How did u do that. Is it just a path the electrons are following

[sciman3]

@doneal777 You could use a path, I used four bezier circles with the "electrons" set to follow path. I hope that helps :)

Berryllium  FAIL.

[bigduven]

but i think the yellow things are electrons, so they normally fly in orbitals not round the core ..my english is really bad

[sciman3]

@bigduven Ya, I wasn't going for a correct atom model back then :P.

Tutorial PLZ!!!

[Halfback1990]

for what you need a tutorial?

more brain pls.you play only with ico,sphere and material and vuola you have a Atom Animation.

[Sk8Kookies]

ur a bit late...and that time...i was a beginer....not knowing the ico, sphere and vuola...

I have just been introduced to Blender. Which isotope are you atempting to represent? Great animation.

[sciman3]

I don't believe I was going for a specific atom. I just threw together a bunch of protons and neutrons and electrons. Thanks. If you want any help in blender, drop me a message and I'll see what I can do. I am not amazing in blender, but I have learned my way around pretty well.

good animation, but scientists have disproved the "orbit" theory they now suggest a few alternatives. Basically, if electrons orbited they would fall (eventually) into the nucleus and the atom would collapse. Oh, and the electrons should be smaller.

check out my blog (the url is in the channel)

[ForzaInternazionale9]

How would they fall (the electrons) in the nucleus when there are protons that would repel the electrons?

[BradleyQT]

Protons and electrons would be attracted to each other (like opposite ends of a magnet), not repelled.

WTF

[djwsimpson]

I have to agree with the below comments, the electrons should spin faster and perhaps some gradual emit on the nucleus. Easy enough to animate, jsut mess around with the ipo curves. Great chance to test out the motion blur of blender?

[bugeyes3456]

har. it should go faster plz

[zimbloggy]

Ummm... check your spelling, ANIMATION, not ANAMATION! I! NOT A!

[aegis3d]

nothing happens..
