3D Animation

3D animation in short, crafted pieces: loops, materials, abstract studies and product moments.

3D animation here means short, crafted pieces of motion rendered in 3D: abstract studies, seamless loops, product moments, characters and type. What sets the best apart is restraint: one clear idea, careful light and materials, and motion that has weight. This page gathers work made in Cinema 4D and Redshift, Blender and Houdini, as well as real-time 3D for the web, by artists such as George Stoyanov, Jonathan Lindgren and Benjamin den Boer.

52 works by 45 creators, newest added 11 November 2026. Each is credited to the people who made it and links to the original.

  19. Frosted Spheres by George Stoyanov — A procedural 3D animation built in Cinema 4D with rigs that follow no fixed path, frosted glass discs sweeping over two spheres and bending their pink and orange light as they pass.
  20. Blue Blob Stack by George Stoyanov — A soft body 3D animation from a procedural rig in Cinema 4D, a column of glossy blobs that squash and swell in turn, motion that can be reshaped and explored endlessly.
  21. The Motion Identity Course by Niek Pronk — The logo animation of The Motion Identity Course, a ten-chapter course on how motion fits into a brand identity, where the camera dives straight through the holes of its stepped mark.
