"Behind the Scenes: Exploring the Creative Process of 3D Motion Graphics"

Have you ever wondered how 3D motion graphics can bring even the simplest objects to life?

I love experimenting with different techniques to create stunning visual effects that captivate viewers. Recently, I worked on a project that involved creating a chain with a liquid metal transition effect from silver to gold using Blender 3.4. I’m excited to share this video and give a glimpse into the process of creating a visual effect like this.

It starts by designing a simple chain model, which is then textured and lit to create a realistic look. A rigid body modifier is then applied to the chain so that it is affected by simulated gravity. I then set the scenes gravity to zero and add a turbulence force field to not only make the chain float but also give it some initial momentum and movement at the beginning of the simulation. Next, I used shader nodes to create the liquid metal transition effect. The effect is based off the position of an empty object and makes use of shader displacement within Blenders Cycles render engine.

The end result is a stunning 3D motion graphics video of a chain with a liquid metal transition effect from silver to gold. The chain appeared to come to life as the liquid metal flowed through it, creating a mesmerizing effect that can keep viewers hooked.

I am constantly trying to learn more techniques and skills when it comes to 3d animation. I love experimenting with these different techniques and tools to create unique visuals. I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my process and feel inspired to experiment with your own 3D motion graphics projects.
