no eggnog just tinkering tea= Diet Coke

snowman.mov rockingsnowman.zip Use 3 of the same model after some tweaking bu two of the model's arm render alot different than the first one rockingsnowmend.mov even tried toon render rockingsnowment.mov rockingsnowmand.zip

Nice explosion Gene !

Steve the volumetric dust added to the model needs no further action to get the effect..if thats why you were asking dusty3.zip

Not sure what you mean ...use Xtaz Mufos

did quick test with dust instead of mist but at 2 frame steps in this quicksample 120 rendered in 60 frames dusty.mov

works in 17 yes

misty_2.mov misty3.zip amplitude is a program that creates an action to control a pose on a model based on sound volume its not available anymore but I have offered to create action for a sound if there is any interest for free the action included in the zip was for a model names misty and a pose named dance wav file not included

rough test 3 models on path moving then combining misty.mov misty.zip 1 sphere color change misty_1.mov misty_1.zip

corrected Fuchur.....

had not played with hair so did a test and did shape and color over length setting in time line to get weird shape and color then spring based animation hairshapetest.mov htest1.zip

Rodney Just thought I'd take a stab at it not sure what Rusty was asking so just tinkered a little REFLECTING greenballsreflected.mov reflect.zip

just did a quick test you can see through but that can be fixed used animated material for this quick test greenballs.mov greenballs.zip played a little more greenballs1.mov greenballs1.zip

I would search on greg rostrami

testinngtwirl.mov hair on ball just to observe ball movement as it moves on path rough test

Thank you ...now we can roll out a snow ball or two ..... quick test of idea untitled.mov newtonfalltest_correcteda.zip

That worked better but the ball does not roll and that is what I was hoping it would do ..Thanks for looking

Had already watched the piano guys but enjoyec it again ...great idea and links

Thanks will try when at home

Meant for it to be a question anyway I tried various ways all with weird results it might be that newton does not react to a ramp

tried to get sphere to roll down ramp newtintest17c.mov newtonfalltest.zip project file

made simple tree path the socket bulb and cord shapes and used sweeper to duplicate socket and bulb and then sweep the cord shape over the tree path then grabbed the 3 swept objects and put them into a another model added color and shag did a quick pose animated and..... if I had time would have animated it to dance with some music but .... sweeptlightedtree.mov sweeptree.zip

Great nice to see the final results of your labor

needs some boiling liquid now....
