Mograph Loops

A collection of some of looping motion graphics clips I’ve made over the years. They may or may not get their own entries someday.

If the loops don’t work correctly - right click on the youtube videos and select loop, then they should play correctly :)


Tetrahedron Rainbow

I used houdini to generate the recursive subd shapes on the tetrahedron, then I split it into segments. I then used some fun math and a houdini library called MOPs (motion operators - it tries to simplify motion graphics workflows ). I used a gradient weight on each segment to determine the offset of the animaton. Then I exported the alembic to blender and shaded and rendered it in eevee, the shading was fun, I used some fun math to make those color bands.


Screw Animation Loop

This was all Blender and rendered in Eevee.


Abstract Loop - Blender Octane


Recursive V

This was all Houdini. I used UV packing on the geometry of the Vs to fit them into another V, then I used some MOPs operators to drive roation and shader change.


Recursion


Recursive Subd Animation

Playing with recursion is fun. In this one I animated the recursive subdivision. I tried to go for an alien artifact feel.
