Circular Gradients project file

This is the circular gradients .blend file from the intro of the gradients tutorial.

Made by creating a circular curve, then slicing it into a fixed number of random-length segments and turning each segment into a rounded tube. To turn these slices into tubes, Blender 5.0+ has a Curve to Tube tool, so we don’t have to build it from scratch. The animation is done with 1D noise that uses each slice’s index and time as its input, giving a different, time-dependent value for each slice so they animate nicely over time.
