How does this work behind the scenes?
Seems rather alot of work to put text on candy - can you explain the purpose of it more please?
Presumably it is made with Blender at the back end judging from the random quote generator "Created while running away from a squad of offensive drunk guys who are fans of the black skills of Blender."
UPDATE:
This looks like an interesting thing - I'd like to hear more about it - but I've tried several times to render and it always eventually loses connection to the server.
It looks like it was too early for it to hit the front page of HN, some more scaling testing was needed.

- PavlovsCat 7y agoI have no clue how it works, but I know how I'd do it: 1. render the animation a bunch of blobs falling and coming to rest, once 2. save a mask for the pixels each blob occupies on each particular frame 3. note the position of each blob in the final image. 4. pick a color for each of the blobs according to their position in the final image and the text (or image) you you want to display on the blobs 5. go through all frames of the animation and color each blob
