Time-lapses are always mesmerizing, but this one is especially smooth. Eltaurus presented the process of 3D modeling a wingnut in a satisfying Blender animation.
According to the creator, the time-lapse was mostly done using shape keys, with each stage animated as a separate object. "Plus some keyframed modifiers and Geometry Nodes."
Eltaurus is just starting with modeling, but with this project, I can already see amazing progress in their future.
The artist is interested in math and science, and you can find their experiments on X/Twitter.
