Description
This was a real whole lotta work!I gave up going on with this. It is already two years old.
I went out of ideas and creating realflow things and putting them back to c4D is very annoying and complicated.
First is creating the scene.
Then naming all objects
Then exporting scene as OBJ
then exporting geometry with RF plugin.
Then loading objects and RF exports in RF
Setting physics and animate scene.
Go back to C4D and import animation data.
Opimize keyframes (RF creates a single KF per object AND frame. Hundredthousands of keyframes can get your system down pretty fast.)
Finally everything has to have the same scale and speed. So creating each station of this with a single session is a lot of checking tweaking and freaking out.
I donΒ΄t know, if it is clear to see:
The last domino brick interrupts a laserpointer, wich activates the torch.
This was rendering for about 4 days.

I tried to figure out a new one. Dynamics 2 offers a lot of physical opprtunities. WeΒ΄ll see....

Nice animation work but render out maybe little dark. But nice anim, I can't do animation just some very basic and still render only.
And you should make this anim into flash *.swf or upload hi-quality video. Here, display a lowquality animated gif quite not worthy for the work n time you spend for make this out.

ItΒ΄s the bad render quality itself. DoesnΒ΄t have to do with gif format

looks great
I use the neato plugin called "Auto-renamer" when I export to Rf... It renames all my objects with a number on the end of the object. Saves me one hell alot of work. You should check it out, damn useful.

Is Auto-renamer for C4D?

is it small? Small enough for email?

I don't have to send it to you, you can download it here:

ThatΒ΄s what my system said after that session.
Ever boiled an egg on a CPU?

I haven't done an egg on a CPU before but I have done steak on my old Duo Core. Lol!

My stupid CPU played this at a ridiculously slow rate, but I still got to see the tower fall, and everything fell very naturally. The textures are nice and convincing, too. Perhaps you could upload this to youtube so it would play as a streaming video? Then maybe it would go at a faster speed.

ThatΒ΄s a suggestion. IΒ΄ll think about that. I think I will post a journal, when itΒ΄s up.

Animted GIF has only 128 colors. Looks really grainy. Sorry for that.
