A picture of a violet flower shape viewed from top which is composed of many glass cone shapes aligned in a circle.

Wholesome flower

Glass petals rotate and scale to display a hypnotic flower – done in cablesgl.

This is the result of the second submission in the course “Generative Arts” and my second work using cablesgl. In this exercise, I wanted to use a custom made 3D-object and try out several loops, combined with animation-nodes. Since I’m a fan of glass, proper lighting and depth of field both were a must-have. The result came together of multiplying the object and rotating it multiple times around the center. I especially like the hypnotic feeling that occurs because of the scaling/rotation.
