ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 

This animation was created to show power of POVRAY (for my '3DS' friend).

VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 

This animation was created without using any modeller, it was written as a
script only.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 

For a long time, I occupied myself  with the problem how to make something
expanding from a flat plane, and I think the idea is very simple: the floor
with bulged object form together one blob, which is a  set of many cylinders
and one sphere. A movement of the bulge is a translation of a sphere. When the
object is expanding from the floor, some spheres are adding and translating
up.
