Master Of Animation, Games & Interactivity

For the weekly exercise, uncertainty was my concept. I was inspired by the moments I was living during that time and I wanted to represent it through my work. By doing a mindmap, I was able to find other related terms or topics such as random events, multiple paths, unpredictable, decision making, among others.

I decided to further develop the theme of multiple paths and represented uncertainty as branching paths that lead to a world of infinite possibilities. This is why when you enter a container, there are different sounds and results when you have chosen, which can become something positive, something crazy, but never predictable. When you exit one of the containers, you go out to another path with a similar bifurcation. This correctly expresses what would be uncertainty for me.

On the technical side, I decided to delve into the simulation functions offered by C4D. In this case, the ball is a rigid body which follows a path indicated by a spline. All movement and rotation is calculated by the software. Furthermore, the path was designed as a semi-cylinder whose trajectory is calculated by the same spline that the ball follows. Both paths were made with the "Sweep" tool and finally I joined them by merging the vertices. To make the curtains react to the ball, I added a fabric simulation to them to react realistically to the collision of an object.
