Firestone Inflatable
Open, cycles 512 samples, ~1min, no denoise, used the big Fred from a net so its open
Coulnd not resist as this quick idea forms while reading the topic
Pure entry, made in blender 3.5. Inflatable, just like our currency, the title was inspired by the song ‘The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging’ from the Lamb album.
I like seeing how far I can push blender’s cloth sim to do non-cloth things. The blocks are all cloth, part of the same object as the inflatable with self collisions enabled. Internal springs keep the cubes rigid and prevent them inflating/deflating (though I had a lot of failed attempts before this where some cubes would turn inside out when the balloon popped!).
I can tell that you’re younger than me It’s supposed to be a tire from the stone age. The character is called Fred Flintstone, from the animated series, The Flintstones.
