Holly Motion Design

Motion Design fun on a Christmas theme.

This holly motion design short was a project to create something to celebrate the Christmas holidays. Blender 3.0 just dropped with a lot of Geometry Nodes functions so I used this project to explore constructing the assets procedurally. Both the holly wreath and pine cone assembly were achieved using geometry nodes. The animation was rendered in Eevee and I used some different lighting setups to light the snow and evoke different feelings. The whole scene was rendered with a starry night background.
