3D Living AI Core with Loopable Animations / Blender

Goal: Create a 3D “Living AI Core” model with multiple loopable animations, to be exported as a .glb file with named actions.

1. Concept
We need a 3D AI core — something that visually represents a futuristic artificial intelligence.
It should feel alive, holographic, digital, and a bit mysterious.
The AI core will sit on the right edge of a web app and is always visible.

Style Keywords:
Futuristic
Neon / emissive glow
Holographic
Smooth, elegant, high-tech
“Living artificial intelligence”

You have full creative freedom to design a shape that matches this theme:
A floating orb
A faceted crystalline sphere
A neural-looking structure
A cluster of glowing nodes
A geometric AI “heart”
Or something abstract but intelligent-looking

The important thing: it must look excellent and readable at small size, because it will sit as a UI element.

2. Pulsating / Wave Effects

We need animation clips that create a wave-like pulsation AROUND the core — not by scaling the orb itself.

Ideas:
Expanding circular rings around the core
Ripple/wave energy rings
Holographic circles that radiate outward
Layers of glowing geometry that fade outward
Subtle distortion rings (if possible within glTF constraints)
Each animation must be loopable and export correctly to glTF.

3. Animation Clips Needed

Please create separate named animation actions in Blender.
Each should be a seamless loop unless otherwise stated.

1. Idle (default)
Very slow, gentle outward waves.
Calm and steady.
Emissive glow soft and stable.
Occasional light ripple.

2. Processing
Waves become more frequent and energetic.
More visible activity: small internal glows, faster ripple rings.

3. Ok
Similar to idle but slightly more “confident”.
Waves stronger but still calm.

4. Warning
Faster, sharper pulses.
Slight flicker or high-frequency waves.

5. Error
Stronger pulses with a double-wave pattern.
Movement should feel “wrong” or irregular (but not too chaotic).

6. Notify (one-shot animation)
A short, more intense outward wave.
Plays once, then returns to previous state.

Important:
Name each animation action exactly as above.
Keep loops smooth and seamless.

4. Materials

Use PBR materials compatible with glTF.
Main requirements:
Strong use of emissive for glowing parts.
The emissive color should be controllable by the developer in Three.js.
So name the emissive material clearly (e.g. Core_Emissive, Ring_Emissive).
Avoid Blender-only nodes. Stick to glTF-friendly materials.

5. Export Requirements

Export as .glb (glTF binary).
Include:
Mesh
Materials
Animations (with correct names)
Textures
Test in a glTF viewer (e.g. Babylon.js Sandbox) before delivery.

Deliverables
