Inspiration

The Dyson sphere design draws inspiration from science fiction and games, symbolizing the ultimate connection between human civilization and stellar energy. This concept not only demonstrates a grand technological vision but also echoes the theme of this hackathon, "Connection."

What it does

This 3D Dyson sphere model and animation, created in Blender, demonstrates the energy transfer between a star and a massive energy-collecting structure. It vividly illustrates the power of connection—between humanity and the universe, and between technology and sustainable energy.

How we built it

3D modeling and material rendering using Blender

Challenges we ran into

There are a lot of problems with animations and renderings, such as long rendering times and difficulty in making changes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

From concept to stunning 3D model and animation in a short time.

Transforming the abstract theme of "connection" into an intuitive visual work.

Achieved a large-scale, dynamic sci-fi energy effect in Blender.

What we learned

Efficiently use Blender's geometry nodes, lighting techniques and animation

What's next for Dyson Sphere

Create an interactive 3D web display of the Dyson sphere model (Unreal Engine)

Create an immersive VR/AR experience, allowing users to "enter" the Dyson sphere.
