This is my submission for Clint's aka @pwnisher Dynamic Machines Challenge. The concept is based on H.R. Giger's work from the movie franchise 'Aliens'. The chrome balls are eggs in my 'contraption' in which they get laid while a curious astronaut wanders too close for comfort.
Made in Blender 2.93 and rendered with Cycles. Compositing in Fusion. Sound design/editing + final render in After Effects.
