breakdown.

• the animation was based on a curve, i animated the trim of the curve using geometry nodes
• added thickness to the stem of the flower using curve to mesh with a custom profile for more detail
• instanced the leaves on to the same curve using the curve to points and instance on curves nodes
• created the flower petal animation as a seperate object,
• instanced that object onto the top of the curve, to make sure it was only instanced at the tip of the curve i used the end selection node for the selection input in the instance on points node.
• to add the bounce effect, i used a math node with a sine operation to create a looping bounce effect and applied that to the rotation of the leaves and petals.
• notice how the camera movement adds to the sale of the animation
• i also used some light gobos in the animation to get some nice looking shadows and lighting

About light gobos.

viewport

heart material:

this uses two grunge textures blended together and fed into the roughness node, then some color and transmission set to 1, to make it look like glass
