From time to memory, this piece is an exploration of Salvador Dali's paintings, the Persistence of Time and the Persistence of Memory. Both paintings have been very influential to me in my creative journey, and I used them as inspiration for this piece. Voronoi Fracture was key to memory pice, but the real wonder was the use of Cloth Body simulations to generate the melting clocks. I baked as alembic as soon as my simulators worked and I feel that a successful workflow. I modeled all assets myself in Cinema 4D and used After Effects to composite.
The first run of the simulations, before the tweaking. At first, The Voronoi fracture object created irregular pieces, so I realized I needed to adjust the segments.
Below are copies of the original paintings by Salvador Dali.
