Project 6: Python Scripting

Animation

The animation mostly follows the tutorial given to us but with some changes.

I changed the sphere in the center to a cube shaped like a box.
Instead of hexagons circling around the center I used toruses.
I textured the cube and the tor(i?) to look like a donut box and donuts.
In addition to rotating around and expanding inwards and outwards from the center box, each individual donut also rotates and scales up at random rates in the animation.

All the animation is generated in a single Python script. I couldn't figure out how to color and UV-wrap the objects in the script so I ended up adding the textures and background afterwards.

Upon running the script, a UI window appears where you can enter the number of donuts desired. The default is 50, which is how many donuts ended up being in the resulting animation.

Here is a better view of the donut box surrounded by donuts, since it gets obscured pretty early in the animation by the increasing size of the donuts surrounding it.
