Parametric Lantern; Shining a Light on This Program

 Bonne journée ♥ Good Day!

For this project, I chose to make a really fancy closing lantern.

Because I had to use an emissive object, I decided to manually render each frame. Hence the stop motion vibe, gif at the end.

Here is my Process:

I used a lot of class shown features, but I had to do a ton of research to problem solve this. The tapering was a logistical nightmare, and in the end the lid was too high so light leaked through. By the time I noticed, all my renders were already finished and I would've had to re-animate.

Live and Learn I guess... Maybe that's today's send off phrase...

Here's my GIF! I hope you enjoy it
