After a bit of tinkering, I finally got the physics to cooperate and properly dispose of all the cereal pieces, make the animation loop seamlessly. There's always room for improvement, however!

Almost got it with this one. Timing is off, though!
I took a break from modeling more cereal pieces to play around with physics some more. I came up with this weird cereal shuffling machine that emerges from the floor to clear out the fallen pieces... it doesn't quite work, though! 😅
I modeled and created materials for a few more cereal pieces... I kinda want to have about 10 different types, and then mix them all together. Some of these materials look simple in real life, but are quite hard to replicate, even without shooting for complete realism, in Blender.
I swapped out the lighting on this scene for an HDRI, for a little more realism. It doesn't need to look 100% real, but I like the change.
Oh, and I added a spoon, too.
This milk is looking thiiick. 🤤
Here's another cereal render. I adjusted the colors a bit here so they are more true to what you might see in a real cereal like this.
Mostly happy with the cereal piece for now, though I plan on making more. Couldn't help but try out some physics sims first, though. Fill 'er up!
I tried making the bowl an active physics object in this one, but Blender does not like my mesh, so it gets a little jumpy. Fun to watch anyway, though.
I've been thinking about a creative project I want to do that will incorporate almost every skill I have, and these explorations in 3D rendering cereal might be the start of that. 😄
Here it is - my last drawing for Inktober 2023! The prompt for this one was "fire", and after really trying to come up with something fun, I landed on this.
I'm almost certain that I've done a dumpster fire illustration for a past project, but I need to get this one done and found a neat way to tie it into this year's Inktober set. Can you find it?
I had a great time doing this project. Thanks to everyone who has been following along throughout - I hope you've enjoyed watching it as much as I have making it. 😄 As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup and Inka brushes for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.
If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
