      <description><![CDATA[<p>A quick animated GIF I threw together:</p>
<figure><img src="https://cdn.bencrowder.net/animations/wave-001.gif" alt="wave-001" /></figure>
<p>I made the initial animation in Blender, using the wave and displace modifiers and some postprocessing in the node editor. Then I imported the frames into After Effects and did a little more processing (added grain, some color adjustments). I exported the frames as a PNG sequence and then converted them to a GIF using ImageMagick on the command line:</p>
<pre><code>convert -delay 1x20 *.png -resize 500x500 -layers optimize +dither -colors 32 output.gif
</code></pre>
<p>More animations coming in the near future, hopefully.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Wave GIF">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
