In the lighting industry, the light emitted by a luminaire is either described by an intensity file or by a set of rays.

Imagine you have a light emitting object into your hands, what is its intensity profile ?

An attempt at representing atoms according to the not so accurate Rutherford-Bohr model since I could not find an interactive viewer online.

I have combined most of my knowledge about physics, programming and rendering to replicate a great visualisation of atomic orbitals.

If you have taken a look at the graph of convex polyhedra with regular faces in this post, you could see that by hovering over a node, animations of the corresponding solid would be displayed. I could not use the glass rendering I had made for the origami models because it would have been too long to render for the 200+ solids in the graph. So I needed another approach. In this article I show how I made these simpler renders.

Once I had made the stop motion animation, I figured out it would be interesting to make some rendering to achieve the same animation. I had used Blender before but only for its 3D modeling capabilities and I always wanted to learn to use it for proper rendering too. In my head, the project seemed simple, I needed the 3D model, to make a scene for it with lights, cool materials and stuff and to render it. As a beginner I faced many challenges but it was worth it.
