Project goal
Create 3 visually appealing 3D animations of a molecular switch, demonstrating the process of "wrapping" molecules with a ribbon, symbolizing activation or switching of molecular biomarkers. The animations will be used in a presentation of the Adaptyx technology.

Scenes (formats)
- Single switch + ribbon + 1 molecule
- 3 switches in a row (simultaneous switching)

Molecules
A total of 2 variations of molecules are needed:
1. Normal: white-blue-red — simple, understandable structure
2. Complex №1: similar to the one with blue, cyan, yellow colors (client sample)

Animation logic
Switch:
- The ribbon wraps around the molecule (choose the best cinematic shape)
- Gradual appearance of glow effect on the molecule during/after wrapping
- At the end — the ribbon "closes" the molecule, emphasizing the change/switching

Ribbon:
Flat, variable width:
- Standard — for a simple molecule
- Wider — for a more "loaded" complex structure
- Twist movement (twisting) is present but 50–60% less than in the video with the red ribbon
- The curve shape at the beginning ≠ shape at the end (see client example)
- Should smoothly "embrace" the molecule

Color and style
Ribbon:
- Color gradient, closer to: scientific/neuro-graphic style. (the material should be wow in terms of 3D)
- Shades: as in the video example (like car paint (described in the document))
- At the end: glow effect and slight hue change for visual "switching" effect
Background:
- Light (white/milky), #E4E8E9
- Shadow/depth from the ribbon and molecule should be very delicate

Technical details
- Render format: .mov / .mp4 (without background or on white background)
- Animation length: 4–6 seconds each
- Cropping: square 1:1
- Frame rate: 30fps
- Aspect ratio: 1:1

Final output
3 separate videos:
- One molecular switch
- Three molecules with simultaneous ribbon animation

Next steps (communication goes through me):
1. Show draft black-and-white animation options to the client (must approve the shapes of molecules and ribbon animation)
2. After approval, refine the material (must be wow in 3D) — I will approve with the client
3. Final compositing of files
