For loop.cut, the last year spent in lockdown resulted in a creative awakening – It was during this time that he decided to create a new 3D looping animation from scratch everyday for the entire year, or until he “went mad, ran out of ideas or died of COVID.

Mesh Manipulation – Part Two of 365 Collection

The 365 Collection is, at its heart, a visual story about a man’s descent into madness, self-loathing, impostor syndrome, and fear of failure. But it’s not all bad, some of the loops are quite nice and the music is pretty rad. Some of them meant something, some of them meant nothing, but all of them were important to me in one way or another and it makes me happy to be able to share them with you now.

Round 2 of the 365 Collection, featuring six unique pieces that each explore a different method of mesh manipulation. From the first day I started using Blender I’ve been deeply interested in the myriad ways it allows you to completely fuck up a mesh, intentionally or otherwise, and I spent quite a lot of time in the early days just figuring out new and inventive ways to destroy things in a satisfying manner. These six pieces, chosen from the 365 daily pieces that make up the full collection, represent my best attempts at wrecking something beautiful.
