This week, I’ve been refining my easing techniques with School of Motion’s Animation Bootcamp while also discovering a fun way to create these organic orbs. Here’s a quick breakdown so you can try it too!

How to Create Mesmerizing Orbs

1. Design a Gradient Shape – Create an abstract shape with a gradient fading to transparency.

2. Add Movement – Apply Turbulent Displace for organic distortion and Blur for softness.

3. Pre-compose & Duplicate – Group everything and make several variations with different colors and shapes.

4. Apply CC Sphere – Transform each variation into a 3D orb using CC Sphere.

5. Animate Rotation – Use this simple expression on rotation for continuous movement:

   value + (time * 10)
