More than really overthinking it, I just started drawing stuff,” he says. “I just kind of kept going at it until I got something that worked.” Then he finished it, sanding at 400 grit and staining the parts by hand. And then it blew up on YouTube. “I was hoping it would be well received, but I was not expecting the YouTube video to get 40,000 views in a week,” he says. Seemingly reverse-engineering something as beautiful and intricate as a hummingbird’s flight is a very nearly impossible task, and yet Hugger has done just that. The mostly wooden sculpture mimics nature in an eerily accurate way. Notice the recreation of twist in the wings as they flap which is part of the reason hummingbirds are such precise flyers.

A free program that lights children’s creative fires and allows them to explore projects in areas such as arts & Hummingbirds are affectionately referred to by hummingbird lovers as the "flying jewels" of the sky. Colibri's motions are unlike those of any other wooden sculpture. Every movement has been carefully optimized to be as life-like as possible. As Colibri hovers and flies, the smooth motions of its wings, tail, head, and body work together seamlessly to produce a beautiful and captivating visual sequence. Built into the sculpture are cams, and linkages, all rigorously designed to deliver wonderful motion in limited time.As usual, I probably forgot a file or two or who knows what else, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask as I do make mistakes in plenty. const min_price_variant_href = (data.min_price_variant && data.min_price_variant.available) ? data.min_price_variant.url : data.url; Hummingbird is a hummingbird themed automata I designed for my wife, who smiles from ear to ear while feeding and watching the gathering hummingbirds at our home. Hopefully it will bring smiles to many more faces.

Colibri's forms are designed to compliment its organic motions. As such, straight lines and geometric shapes have been kept to a minimum. Instead, Colibri is comprised primarily of curvature continuous splines that gently flex, bend, and taper, providing a fluid and organic aesthetic. He went online and watched slow-motion videos of hummingbirds. Then he put one video into animation software and animated a plane right over it, to get the articulations just right. “They’re not just best guesses and artistic interpretations, a lot of the motions in the sculpture are based on real video of hummingbirds,” he says.
