    That is a super cool animation. I'm going to have to look at that tutorial when I'm not so tired.

    Really good animation.

    One of my goals is to be able animate something.

    Wow! That is not at all what I was expecting to see in an animation after seeing the still image! lol
    Very cool!

    Thanks gang,
    It was defiantly a learning curve.

    Still not happy with the shaders and textures, but one can only set their computer to render all night so many times.

    I encourage everyone to try their own experiment with different meshes.

    For this one I took two bows from Arcane Archery and distorted them.
    As well as a rack of bottles from Opus Magnum.

    Simple props, stretched, replicated, spun = surprising fun!

    The glowing Spheres were the most delightful experiment with matching "Pattern Function -> Psychedelic" in the alpha channel and displacement map channel. As well as matching color in the "color" and "glow" channels.

    As some suggested here's a version with an audio score.

    I can't wait to own Opus Magnum. I'm a huge Faveral fan - and want to own his entire collection.
    Grok... I cannot say enough what a great job you've done with this!

    Very cool animation, great movement, and the soundtrack fitted really well too!

    opus magnum is superb value, but you really need fenric'sposer shader doctor as well - which you probably have

    Grok, thanks for telling us how you did that
