my entry for artexplosion # 82

dancing lightflares ?
psychedelic drone balett ?
How big do you want the flashing main sphere ?

450 meter
ok, i´ll scale it up and send you the data for each drone.

For this fictive Drone simulation to visualize I found an easy way to attach lightsources to 3-d objects point-data.
All you need is a 3d object to borrow the point data from, a mograph cloner-object and a lightsource with lenseflares on.

the second object is an icosaeder and the points get blue lights attached. the third object is a circular array of 17 warm star flares with a cool deformation algorythm based on frequency, amplitude, array frequency

finally some animation keyframes for the base objects, and all the light follow. the cool thing about mograph cloners is the fact that you can easily add delays and turbolence fields to drive the deformation offsets from the base object points, so they behave more like a flock of birds which was applied on the outer sphere with the pulsating yellow sparks

finally rendering and compositing in after effects, gifs were made in photoshop CC2020.

this 2nd gif version has an RG-echospace effect on top.
