Planet Tennis

Playing around with tyFlow and rendering/animating anything that pops in my head while going through Jesse Pitela's courses.

This is just a simple tyFlow setup with a spherical tyWind force set to negative strength and bam... we got ourselves orbital mechanics.

Rendered with V-Ray GPU in RTX mode. I was able to get the tyFlow motion blur to work by caching it before rendering.

Very cool.
It immediately reminded me of a decades ago challenge of having to make a tennis ball, which
was a head-scratching excercise at the time that I don't think I had much success with iirc.

Thanks fixeighted! I used to want to model everything from scratch, but now I just want to get things done. So I found this highly detailed tennis ball on turbosquid and just ran with it!
