This was the final version of my cereal shuffling machine animation, where tons of cereal gets dropped into the scene, and then slowly churned away.

I had to add some special, hidden physics blocks to keep all the cereal contained as it was disposed of, but you can't really tell from the limited view. I also adjusted the background to be a little warmer for this one. I was getting tired of the colder blue/purple fade.

It took a long time to render this one - 2,290 frames, each taking 6-10 seconds to finish.

I didn't release this one on other social media, but this was an intermediate step towards my ultimate goal: adding tons of cereal pieces! 😆

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! 😅

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.
