So, I finished the Jelly fish fella and added functionality that when you click, the plates start to move. You can click again and he slowly stops.
The code is kind of a mess, but it loads up almost functionally on boot up
Ignoring the mess, my only questions are, how do you work with duplicate objects and how would you use more keyboard mapping?
I found your piece to be unique in the way it moved just like a jellyfish! The varying colors moving within a flowing rhythm were great at catching the viewer’s attention.
I have an opinion on your style of animation. First off, it’s very nicely done and your inclusion of the sine function to make it more fluid is a great touch. Secondly, As the discs travel along their central axis, it gives a dimensionality to the whole piece in that direction which might be better represented if the discs were slightly thickened rather than completely flat.
I have an opinion about the overall composition of your piece: I think a variety of camera angles, if it’s possible to add, would help give a better sense of scale. From the current static perspective, some circles seem smaller than I think they should, and eh ones on the end look bigger due to you being able to see more of their surface. I’m really just nitpicking though, overall a really interesting and well put together piece!
I have an opinion on the color choice if you would like it. The two blue circles almost read the same, so it might be beneficial to change one of them to differentiate them better.
Looking at this piece I see wind moving around the object sort of like it was flying gracefully like a plane, it really reminded me of flying a small one seat plane over the ocean.
