This is my final for threejsplaygnd. I started off by making an interesting shape using the torus knot. I experimented with the swinging camera and mesh position. I have attempted to make the torus knot look like it is coming out at you. I experimented with also making the knot rotate but decided against it because if felt like to much was going on. I like this composition because it looks as if the torus knot is creating a curved tunnel.
