Road to Infinity /// Cyberpunk Overpass with Lighstreaks /// Entry for the Contest by Bad Normals
The only thing that ties all entries to the contest together is the hole we enter through in the beginning, then the curved road and the square hole at the end through which we leave again... I went for some dark urban overpass with cyberpunk or synthwave aesthetic, at least all lights in the scene illuminate everything around it, no HDRI does the light, all lights have some kind of purpose and especially the cars passing under the underpass that are only visible as lightstreaks emit a lot of light. And I wanted to make a render with such streaks in it for a long time so this came together very nice. The music is also my work, of course I went for some kind of synthwave sound and tempo with a heavy buzzing bass, simple 4/4 beat and some high pads over the bass. I like how that turned out as well, could also work as a longer track.

Soon there will be Braille on your Brass. So you better Barf the Bass.
I modelled and rendered some Images for the different Tiers on patreon in a non photorealistic and very stylized fashion.
And while I did that I figured why not morph them all the way through the brass instruments to amaze you with a mesmerizing animation that does not stop any time soon.
Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink, I have a patreon now! Is this a very artsy and shamelessly self promoting advertisement? Oh yes, go support this crap on patreon, check out the different tiers and get involved, support interesting art and future projects.
This is the second iteration. Big Thanks to youtube user MarginallyCompetent for getting me started with NPR halftone shading. I like this halftone shaded version better, but you can watch the older version here:

Or just grab the free .blend file for this interesting morphing animation and get educated on how to do shape-shifting animations in blender like every brave brass brazing bandit would do!

For the best experience watch this incredible panoramic surround view video in Highest Resolution and Full Screen or on a VR device of your choice!
Use the +/- buttons of the numpad (or the mousewheel in fullscreen) to zoom & drag the screen to move the view.
Seriously sublime people are slowly but surely getting down on their very own knees before expectantly entering the seemingly seamless world of vivid hallucinatory visions filling their thoughtful minds. They are looking around, searching for something to rest their eyes on and praying to the subversive black and white god of all the wrong choices that they made.
Filled with fear in their fate they are awaiting a long sought after answer to one of the most important questions in their tender and short lifes, only to realise that their own lifes are just a blink in the eternal endlessness of every existence ever. No matter which way they try to turn it, which ever direction they chose to be on top, there is only the one way to go. Once they get this, they let go while pondering some good choices they made, and these made it all worthwile! They know, letting go is not giving up, and through this they arise even stronger than they have ever been before and use this buzzing energy for the better of their lifes.

WATCH THIS AND THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK!
This video seems like a loop but it is no plain loop, it evolves with the music. A lot. Just let it roll, lean back and enjoy it for what it is.
It all started with some particle tests in blender. In the end I made a 9 seconds and 3 frames loop of that weird cube wall, which took roughly 11 days to render out of blender using the cycles render engine. And I mean 24 hour days with the computer always on and slowed down responses on the machine. Oh the pain. Well, then I asked Edwin Montgomery ( https://soundcloud.com/edwinmontgomery ) for some music for the 9s3f loop that I want to loop to 10 minutes again.
Edwin delivered that perfectly and as musicians get bored easily (or he feared people would think he can only do very repetitive music when he does the same sounds all over again all over the 10 minutes...), so he added some variations which makes a very far out and still catchy tune. Oh, the pain, damned, no easy way to just loop the same thing for 10 minutes all over again for me, so I got ambitious.
The result is what you see in this jammusicvideocollabthing. "Post"production in After Effects turned into the main production and took way too long (no idea how long!) but now I know more about AE than I ever wanted to know and completely forgot all about the particle engine in blender so expect more blender particles some time in the future...

This Tutorial shows you how to model your own Einstein, the single tile-aperiodic tiling tile recently discovered by David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig Kaplan and Chaim Goodman-Strauss. This Tutorial should be suitable for total beginners that just want to play around with the Einstein tile without having to 3D-print it...
Following the pattern you see in the beginning is a good starting point as you can screw up the pattern quickly and have something where no more tiles fit, the darkest tile is the flipped one, this appears not as often as the default tile...

Open your eyes and realize there are endless possibilities of variations of various verminous vultures venturing to Venus and wondering why water would be of importance. Wax was no replacement. Who would have thought. World wide wild water flows along the ever-branching canyon of desperation coming straight from the spring of hope ending in an endless ocean of light. Walking along a colorful shore made from thousand millions of marbles that washed ashore aeons ago back when a rock was a hairy pebble in the depths of the glowing sea. Zee ze zee.

With this powerful worldshader (or should I say... spaceshader) you can easily set the scene for beautiful space renders that looks different every time with a few clicks and slider tweaks and make all the images from Hubble or the James Webb Space Telescope the NASA took pale in comparison. You don't need fancy HDRIs of space to have a cool Scifi Backdrop, just use this worldshader.
Easily configure the size and colors of the stars and 2 different nebulae in the shader for a brand new look each and every time you use the shader in a Science Fiction Scene.
The project file has some contrasty elements ready for you to easily separate your foreground from the bright background and a great compositing setup that makes the stars shine! You can switch between the old hubble like 4 sided star flares and the James Webb Space Telescope like hexflare in compositing with a simple slider.
Build your own starfield with kaetsu's tutorial (thanks for that starfade trick!!!)

This is a warning!
Not a remix! Not 500 new AI tool you absolutely need to check out! I just needed to get that out! Thanks for watching! Share it with the people that need to know! Join the Luddites!
The technology is very interesting and has a huge potential, but the way it is implemented is the worst way possible it seems. Exploiting human workforce in African countries for tagging and annotating Large Language Model Training Data, selling that as magic, implementing it into as much apps as fast as possible to make it extra hard to untangle it when legislation finally catches up, bias in the training data, hardening power inequalities even more, polluting the internet with synthetic crappy data, the usual reality collapse, a firm called "open" AI going all secretive and with closed training data and jumping from salvation to doomsday prediction in the future only to distract from all those pressing issues in the NOW!
...and I am well aware that I put my almost faded out signature on copyrighted material, you never know where that animation ends up, be it a funny stuff collection or a googleAI training set, and I like the irony in that, so sue me... or think about that for a moment and consider rather fighting the folks enabling the mass plagiarism machine!
I even claim this is fair use, and transformative enough to be a parody or rather satire, more than that, and the people that made the original ad likely approve of that! :P
and always remember:
If you see a cryptobro with an Orb, always run the other way!
Worldcoin is the very worst that can happen! Always oppose that!
made with photoshop and aftereffects...
(and not blender this time, but actually, the video frames were put together and rendered in blender VSE)
