Happy Friday! Had a look at Contra’s breakdown by skills and tools today. A nice little surprise to end the week on. 🙂

Exploring clean geometry and satisfying motion.

Inspired by minimalist sculptures, I put together this seamless looping animation. The focus here was entirely on rhythm, clean form, and soft shadows as the sphere navigates the twisting spiral of geometric planes.

Sometimes keeping...

Quick follow-up to yesterday’s post with a few refined details.

Tweaked the centerpiece and offset the rotational timing so each cube spins with its own momentum rather than in rigid sync. It gives the whole piece a much more tactile, kinetic feel.

Dusting off the feed with some fresh motion work!

I'm at the start of designing this kinetic ZENZAK Studio piece inspired by physical desk toys. Iterating in 3D is always the best way to experiment with materials and timing without real-world constraints.
