Background

I picked up a set of Magnetix, but it didn’t come with enough magnets to build what I wanted. So I started playing around with the free 3D rendering program Blender and rendered a few shapes constructed of magnets.

There are also some higher resolution static renderings of this scene in the Magnets photo album.

Production

This was rendered in Blender on my PowerBook G4.
