Using Blender Displace Modifier and Animation Nodes to create cool array driven effects.
This is my favourite old school trick, it is not a big secret. I have tried doing this using previous techniques: Drivers, Python, and also Sverchok Add-On.
Now using Animation Nodes, the same concept can be applied more elegantly. Easier to understand and to setup. This one example should give you an idea of the power of Procedurality and animation.
Hope you enjoy this one. Feel free to subscribe and leave me comments, questions and feedbacks.
