Spiky Balls in Blender

Spiky balls are part of the decor in some scenes for the planetarium show we are making. Easy to make, plus it uses a couple small things that I rarely use in Blender, so I figured I’d share.

The blend files are on my Github: https://github.com/waystar/Featured-Blend-Files/blob/main/SpikyBalls.blend and https://github.com/waystar/Featured-Blend-Files/blob/main/SpikyBall_HowTo.blend

Or you can watch the video:

Happy Blending!
