Moving Pearl Chains in 3D

Let the process run in either forward or backward mode to see a nice animation. 3D computer graphics make it possible to expand a division of fine arts: that of mobiles. The resulting objects are no longer bound to physical laws, but give a realistic view and allow spatial presentations that are are not possible in reality. This allows you to have a special kinematic impression, characterized by high aesthetic value. The free-floating beads are an example of such an entirely new experience.
