Changes to initial idea.

My initial ideas have changed slightly due to constraints in Esperient Creator. I haven't been able to get the smaller transparent triangles to flap up and down how I wanted too, so I have chosen to abandon this idea, and instead focus on the groups of triangles moving in different directions, in and out of a larger group.

Screen Shots and Progress


Thinking about how to move through the space and animation.


Changing materials and background, and adding cameras and lighting.

Thinking about how to inhabit the space.



First import from Sketch Up to Esperient Creator.

Design Ideas and Intentions

In my video, I would like to send the viewer through a space filled with my triangular forms, that is an abstract representation of the night sky. I would like to have the triangular forms each spinning around their central axis, with the smaller flat transparent triangles on the top and bottom of the larger forms, flapping up and down. I would also like the camera to fly around the space surrounding the forms watching the forms spin, and also sit on the forms as they spin, watching the other forms. I have chosen blues and whites with shiny and transparent textures which are reflective of the picture I have drawn inspiration from and the night sky.
