Quick morphing animation exercises

These two exercises for lesson 4 aim to create organic morphs between simple shapes, with focus on animation instead of drawing.

During the last exercise, I found out that drawing every frame from scratch can facilitate more lively motions while copying and editing frames can produce more rigid/static effects (like in stop motion).
In this example, the left side looks like a growing plant while the right side looks like a swimming worm.

Vertigo ceiling

During vertigo, the eyes can spin around following the incorrect signals sent from a faulty vestibular system.
The effect can be reduced by VR: track the eye movements, classify whether they are caused by vertigo, and adjust the display accordingly (e.g., move the visual field with the spinning eye gaze).

Side wing of a Buddhist church

Filed under: Real — liyiwei @ 8:27 pm

There are many interesting architectural and religious constructs inside and outside this Buddhist temple converted from a Christian church.
I was attempting to capture its entire front side, but soon realized that it won’t fit well into a square canvas.
So I ended up drawing only one side, and plan for other outside and inside views in the future.
