A MoGraph experimental loop involving all sorts of interesting concepts. Spectral shading, folding polygons, Russian nesting, and grungy distress.
Design Notes:
- I built this around a plugin I always play with: Depilage or "Unfolder" from Cesar Vonc. It's a procedural way to handle the origami effect of folding and unfolding connected geometry in Cinema 4D.
- The orbs are shrinking with a MoGraph Step Effector paired with their scale.
- I applied the distress texture as an Octane material, the Spectral look was cool on its own but it was too clean and simple. I used these high res scans for the surface imperfections:
