MCLAREN:
COMING BACK
STRONGER
growth & Geometry nodes
Looped animation inspired by Formula 1 championship contender Oscar Piastri’s Instagram caption following the 2025 title decider in Abu Dhabi: “Lots achieved. Lots learnt. Coming back stronger next year.”
Turned to Blender to create a visual around the idea of growth (achieving, learning, coming back stronger).
Anticipation built into keyframes
Aiming for a smooth, consistent feel here when the droplets are triggered to fall despite the sharp movement inherent in that action. Defined and pointed, without feeling sudden: the way Oscar Piastri has the potential to send an equilibrium into disarray next season.
