SCENEKIT ANIMATION
For this project I explored the different ways in using scale and color to create a hierarchical composition that is beautiful and compelling. By using Scenekit on the program Xcode, I was able to create a three dimensional animation that displayed rotating spheres circling the center.

PROCESS
My first initial idea was to create a space animation where it involved making a simple model of our solar system. However, I wanted to challenge myself in just trying to deal with rotating primitive shapes in and using my imagination in creating something interesting to look at.
For my first draft of this project, I programmed these basic controls in making some orbs rotate on a fixed point. But, after a few trials and tests I was not satisfied with the movement of the circles because they didn't seem mesmerizing as I would hoped it would be.
COLOR PALETTE
During the process, I knew choosing the right colors were very important for my animation. I used a color generator online and was able to pick out a color palette that I felt was very soothing and comfortable to look it when tracking objects.
​
One of the main reasons why I chose this color scheme is because it's giving me this retro vibe that many of the colors shown resemble so much of my childhood.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This project was a simple and easy project to program and in the end I am very happy of the result. The movements of the objects are synchronized and mesmerizing as I wanted to be and the image itself is symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.
