- Bubble Generator This tool would be designed to create random bubbles of all different shapes and sizes. This would involve researching into the way bubbles move, the way they look in terms of shading and lighting and how bubbles behave depending on the environment in which they inhabit. How do bubbles move differently underwater in contrast to how they would move in the air fo instance. Another thing to consider would be how they pop when they come into contact with some surfaces and not others and how they might split up into smaller bubbles when they pop. But possibly the two most challenging aspects of all to consider would be how the bubbles might grow when being blown from a hoop on a stick, for example and also how bubbles can merge with each-other and either get bigger or just become attached to one another.
- Balloon Tool This tool would procedurally model balloons and strings which would attach the balloons to any given object and allow them to carry the object as they float in the air. The more balloons that the user would specify, the the stronger effect it would have on lifting the object. The user could also control the size and the mass of each balloon and also how much helium each balloon has or how much it's affected by the gravity of the dynamics solver. One challenging aspect of this would be how to prevent the balloon geometry from clashing with each-other. Another challenge would be how to connect the balloons with the object to be lifted. A third challenge might be how to procedurally model each balloon to look a balloon. The tool could also give each ballon a random colour by assigning random shaders of different colours to the balloon geometry.
- Laser Tool This tool would generate laser effects from stage and disco laser lighting to sci-fi ray-guns and blasters. It would allow the user to control how the laser looks, for example the length, width, colour and distortion of the beam. Also the ability to fire a beam at a particular target.
This idea was partly inspired by the scene from Disney Pixar's "Up" (2009), where the main character Carl uses several balloons in order to make his house fly away.
