I'm trying to animate cellular endocytosis, similar to in the link below. I wanted to show a virus particule moving towards a flat lipid membrane, before getting engulfed by the membrane and emerging on the other side surrounded by a lipid bubbble.I'm completely new to blender and I don't even know where to start, any pointers in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
