This stove was originally modeled in Animation:Master as part of a larger scene called Salt & Pepper. After creating a time-lapse video of the modeling process, I thought it would be fun to come up with a little animation to finish off the sequence.
What started as a simple prop suddenly became the star of its own tiny moment.
That’s one of the things I enjoy about animation, sometimes an idea doesn’t need to be complicated. It can simply come from looking at something you’ve created and think, “What could I make this do?” It’s always fun finding little opportunities to bring an otherwise ordinary object to life.
