	I need to go back to the analogy.		I need to go back to the analogy. Do I have to use the whole analogy, or just a section of it. Perhaps I just use the idea of infinity mirrors and try to create something visually interesting from this. This could be something cool to do in touch designer. It's kind of like a looping effect?

			I'm wondering, how would it actually be possible to take the point of view of the photon? And, actually the analogy is that a photon that has bounced off a face is causing the effect. So actually, the point of view would be the person.

			So I wonder, could we do a side on view? This gives it more dynamism or something Like so:

	<br />So, here are the mechanics - following script above.[[File:01.03.23 (2).mp4\|thumb\|01.03.23 (2)\|frameless\|620x620px]]		<br />So, here are the mechanics - following script above. I've made sphere (photon) the parent to the camera. This is because I want the POV to be the photon i.e. you never see the original photon. It first misses, then goes into the mirror (black hole) and swings back around again. In the actual render the mirror will not be visible until the second round so that you do not see the infinity until the photon swings around for a second time.


			The main problems here are that, of course it is black so you can't tell the motion at all. I've scripted it out, and now I think I should refer to my own project to guide me on my next steps whilst staying as true to the analogy as possible.

			This was me figuring out how to create the infinity effect. Now, I return to the analogy. I realise, that the POV should be the 'photon'. We need to see the photon miss the mirror, and then 'go into' and then back around, it is the second loop that gives the infinity effect. So:

			POV - photon

			# Misses the mirror.
			# Goes into the mirror
			# Comes back around.
			# Swings back around again and then there is the infinity.<br />
