Weekly Challenge #240 : [Fly-by Animation]

WINNER :


Hello, Blendermaniacs!

It is time for special edition Weekly Challenge! This time, you will use a provided animation/video template below to use in creating your scene :

File download :
Template_240.blend (699.6 KB)


Instructions :

  • Replace the Cube with any objects/shapes you want, you can also add environment objects or just use simple background
  • Object size should not be too large so that it still fits on the camera view
  • Do not alter the camera setting and empty object (‘Focus’) animation
  • You can use Eevee or Cycles for rendering and any style you want
  • For ease of judging, no audio is allowed
  • Submission in video format : MP4; 1920x1080; 120 frames; 24 fps

Guides :

  • There are 2 cube objects within the template file : one is to be replaced with new objects (in collection ‘OBJECT_EDIT’) and another one is an instance (‘OBJECT_ANIM’) parented to an empty (‘Focus’), do not alter the last one
  • Place all new objects within collection ‘OBJECT_EDIT’ located in the same position as the Cube (do not have to be a single merged object but can contain many separated objects)
  • There is a slow-motion part in the animation/object movement in frame 25 up to 95, so you might want to take that into account if you want to also add animation to the new objects (not a requirement)

Looking forward to seeing your creative take on the template! If you are feeling unsure about your concept or have questions, you can post your WIP on this thread to be commented on later.
