I've been spending some time exploring the animation feature of Xenodream so I decided I would create seamless video loops at the same time and offer them with a Creative Commons License for my VJ and video friends.
This one owes a special thanks to Richard Schenk for the inspiration provided in his Xenoship XEP with the simple but elegant one holon .boxed constructor and Wyrl metamorph. This is the second of a series of these things as I have a project in mind for them. My favorite so far.

This transparent animation reminds me of something my friend Xavi would draw. This is the first of a series of these things as I have a project in mind for them. I'll post on the blog

Ever since I was a little kid Ive been fascinated with Moiré patterns and the resulting Twilight Zone effect that occurs when you have two similar patterns overlaid with slight differences. You see this in fences, screens, and fine sheer fabrics. I've been playing with creating this effect from scratch in After Effects for a little while now and decided to share my findings.
The first is the most recent utilizing some new After Effects FX – Mainly Turbulence Displace, Its almost like it was made for this sort of thing. This is not a seamless loop, sorry.
Download the movie file here The second is the same set up as the first with different settings this one is decidedly more crazy and spastic
Download the movie file here This last video is the first one I created tweaking at least 7 different parameters at once – its a little fuzzy but there are moments, especially the end.

This loop is the classic Z Plane at 4% transparency getting all crumpled up with the Styro metamorph at various settings. Much credit due to Panny Brawley for sharing her blooming shell XEP awhile ago which is at heart the inspiration for this animation. I still haven't suceeded in matching the beauty of Blooming Shell however =)

Rendering these animations is more or less a pot shot in the dark. Its very hard to tell what sort of motion an animation will have until after the last frame is finished rendering. This one looked great as a still but I was expecting a little more from it as animation (You've failed me ani.. im so disappointed in you) I may revisit this one in the future as I see some great potential here. – Let me know what you think. This one is a transparent Z plane twirling in on itself. Want the XEP files for this animation? here ya go.

This loop is a Z Plane constructor with a Vortices metamorph on top of that. This is the second render I did of this because the first moved a little too fast for my tastes. I plan on exploring the Vortices Metamorph more in the future. To be kept up to date sign up for my rss feed or join the newsletter.
This version was a little too intense for my tastes. This video file ends where it starts and loops seamlessly. Ive also looped it in the player below. Enjoy and leave comments below.

This loop is a .balled constructor with a Holes-Z metamorph stacked on top and rendered with a 4% transparency. It's my second attempt at rendering an animation with transparency which is trickier than it sounds. I haven't seen any other transparent animations from the XD yahoo group so this might constitute the first Transparent 3D Fractal animation in the wilds of the internet. Three cheers for grasping at straws! The video below is looped. Enjoy and leave comments!
