But, but, but, T4 are dormant until they contact an e.coli surface, they do not swim by their long strands...

@lohphat I took... artistic liberties

[biotekagr]

nice sound and picture but not to detail on the mechanisms at work

[pidgeonsandpiearetas]

@biotekagr It's almost an artistic representation.

pretty cool animation and t4 models, especially for anim8or.

I never really got involved in that program...You might check out Blender 3D and give it a try, it seemed a lot easier for me than anim8or and it has plenty more useful features. Albeit, anim8or is made by 1 person and Blender by many, but maybe production is what counts.

[pidgeonsandpiearetas]

Yeah, I have done a few things with blender.

I absolutely failed at it though! Anim8or is simpler, but the quality of creations are intensely worse.

But recently as I no longer have access to Anim8or, I have been working with Maya. So hopefully with that I shall progress into better animation, but thanks for the post! :-)

I know you were doing artistic portrayals but the "legs" usually attach to receptor proteins before causing the capsid to inject its genome in.

@pidgeonsandpiearetas

Ah I see. I've heard many great things about Maya. I have 3Ds Max but like Blender to you, it confuses me entirely lol. As for animation, I don't really deal with that as much, but its process is interesting to observe. I usually use Blender for the Game Engine or still renders, animation isn't the sharpest knife in my drawer so to speak.

Thanks,

I got the idea from the T4 Bacteriophage, it is a real thing, and it kills E.Coli by making them explode into lots of little new T4s!
