Morphing Between Ramen and Pizza - Blender 2.83 Animation Nodes

sakura_rtd · July 26, 2020, 10:34pm

I made an animation that transforms from ‘Ramen’ to ‘Ramen Pizza’ using Blender 2.83 and Animation Nodes + Extra Nodes.
Non-destructive modeling and Eevee procedural textures 100%.

In my recent style, objects are made from very simple meshes like plane or circle, then add modifiers for finishing form.

Here is brief explanation video. Please turn English subtitles on

Make noodle from particles (from video)

Ramen form, no materials

Ramen form, no modifiers

Ramen-pizza form, no materials

Ramen-pizza form, no modifiers

Noodle is made by this way is not real, but handy and fun for me
I’m looking forward to Particle Nodes

so good! lots of respect for the time you put into your work!
Particle Nodes is something i’m waiting for too. I think there will be starting presets for particle nodes which might make it less intimidating… although i might be wrong on that

Thank you for the comment
I can’t understand too long-form English, so I’m just glancing at threads about particle nodes in developer communities, I’m looking forward to the implementation.
I think we will be happy to share useful presets with group-nodes or something.

I’ve been banned twice for less serious reasons than putting spaghetti on a pizza.

Looks good, makes me want to order a pizza,
try to improve the noodles with subsurface scatter.

Awesome!! Makes me hungry for both!

@LazyVirus

I saw this pizza in a Pizza Hut Taiwan ad, but it’s not sold in my country.
I would love to try these once.

Thank you for the comment
Noodle’s material is increased SSS when it’s in ramen-style, decreased SSS and added burned part when it’s in pizza-style.

Thank you for the comment!!

@Vishnu_Menon
Thank you, I’m so glad for hear that

@GPickbrenner
Thank you for the watching!
When I’m making food scene, I think I’ve eaten it

You can run particle nodes in 2.83?!

I know they’re I THINK planned for 2.91 I believe? But I didn’t notice you could already run them in 2.83!

This is incredible! I haven’t seen many food renders, so it’s great to see one, and one in Blender for that matter
