Trippy circles

I made these on Blender (obviously). I can spend hours staring at this it's so mezmerizing. surprisingly, it was really fast to make, I just told all of the circles to move the same speed, but the circles within to be directed by the elder circles, which means that every step to the center means they rotate twice as fast. If you're good at math, try and figure out how many patterns this thing makes

O_O <-- thats my face watching this.

[danthemango]

that was totally my face making it.

Wow, this is so amazing. Makes me want to learn how to use Blender.

[danthemango]

lol, gimp, people alway bundle those two programs together. You should totally get it, and try this because I think it was one of the easiest animations I've made so far.

I do have a warning, the learning curve is really steep, but if you can get past that the program is amazingly powerful.

Wow! Good 'un !

I had the portable version of it once but my virus scanner ate it. Treated the installer as a virus and made blender unuseable. Very weird.

No looking forward to the learning curve but results like this make it tempting.

lol, I thought since you had the phrase "3D" in your user name, I thought you could handle it.

[MrPsycho3D]

now that it has been explained I think I am easily amazed.

it's really simple, you just get a torus, then duplicate the object a bunch of times while making the smaller. Then starting from the outer one just make them rotate like in the video, and make a parenting structure from the outside in. What I think I did is just copied the IP curves for all of them, if you know blender it's REALLY simple.

[MrPsycho3D]

wow how did you do that!!!
