This project explores the dynamic interaction between a bouncing ball and a simple geometry, using the ball's motion as a catalyst for transformation. The ball begins its journey within a confined box, launched with a specific velocity. As it moves, it collides with the surfaces of the box, and with each impact, it rebounds, setting off a continuous chain of interactions. What makes this process intriguing is the way the box deforms in response to the ball's behavior.

Several factors influence the deformation: the ball’s speed, its direction of movement, the frequency of the bounces, and even the distribution of UV curves across the surface. The deformations generated with each bounce accumulate, creating layers of complexity as they overlap and interact with one another. Over multiple iterations, this compounding effect gives rise to an array of unique and evolving skins, where the geometry morphs and adapts, resulting in forms that are both mathematically driven and visually organic. This process highlights the interplay between motion, geometry, and algorithmic design, illustrating how simple elements can evolve into intricate patterns through continuous interaction and transformation.
