Animation Tech Talk by Drew Berry wehi.tv – AMI.org 23 July 2022
"How to Stop your Molecules Looking Like They ‘Know’ Where to Go – The Problem of Agency in Molecular Animation"
A problem that plagues many 3D molecular animations is the way molecules are presented moving around the cell – flying straight to their enzyme destinations as if they know where to go. Drew Berry will present a few of his considerations, tricks and techniques to reduce the appearance of molecular agency, while delivering stochastic-looking moving molecules that are fully under animator control for choreography and storytelling.
Session Takeaways:
1. Wrangling time scales at a quadrillionth of a second while making molecules meaningful to watch
2. Wandering randomly while getting there on time
