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