Chain Reaction

Another animation challenge is here! The goal is to create a short animation that shows a chain reaction. One thing leads to another, you know...

Everything must be modeled and rendered in Anim8or, but you can use other software for texturing, post-production etc.

Submit a YouTube or Vimeo video in the best possible quality.

Deadline: 3 weeks (August 21st)

What will be judged: The best video wins, that's it!

Hmm... Good idea, Kubajzz!

I'll really try to enter this one.

[Janro]

Ok... I think I can join this one. I have enough time to think of something and actually do something. XD

Very interesting idea Kubajzz 

[Gyperboloid]

There is some limit? How short must be?

[3Dgeek11]

There is some limit? How short must be?

I guess since it's a "chain reaction" it doesn't matter how short/long it is.

[Arik_the_Red]

I still don't know if I'll be ready for this one... I have a personal commitment to see that Piglet has his day...

Quick Question, can we use cre8or for physics, or does then animation need to be done in anim8or as well?

[Kamagoi]

Now this is interesting! I'll start working on this right now!

[ENSONIQ5]

Definitely having a crack at this, despite being flat out with other projects.  Will post early work soon.

"Quick Question, can we use cre8or for physic"
That was my EXACT question...
I'll be in if I can use physics. (Physics=MajorUltraificFun) <- and thats no sarcasm (:

[hihosilver]

I'd say yes in kubajzz's stead.  Cre8or is an anim8or related program and can be a very useful tool, so why  not practice using it!
Have at it

Hello, ,
 I've started on this one.
 Cant post any progress yet, but can say that i'm doing a sort've a 'domino' type thing.
  Will make sure i'm finished b4 the deadline.
 

[Kubajzz]

I'm sorry for not replying, I had no internet access in the past several days...

I agree with Hiho, using Cre8or for physics is ok.

I hope to see some entries soon!

[ENSONIQ5]

I have settled on a sort of Rube Goldberg machine, also featuring dominos in one bit.  Rendering out at the moment, hope it will be completed by the deadline.  I have had to compromise on quality (low res, no AA, hard shadows) to hopefully meet the deadline... I had forgotten how mind-numbingly slow Anim8or's renderers are.  I have two machines working on it, 800 frames each to render, fingers and toes crossed.

[Janro]

I'm just curious, is the deadline of this on a specific time? Or do we just consider the day of August 21 the last day and submit it any time within that day?

I have to admit, I've been bogged down by so much work from school that I barely had time to work on this. >< Oh well, still giving it a shot anyway. Almost done animating this short sequence.
