Dodecahedron

[aaver]

In this thread it was asked how to make a dodecahedron.

 

I have attached a project file that shows one way of doing that:

Project1.zip

The project file also includes a short choreography. This is what you get if you render it (set the movie to loop ):

That's a really cool clip Anders. Thanks for posting it and the project file.

Wicked awsome!

That sounds a lot like what johnl3d would do. It looks pretty awesome in the movie.

[KenH]

Excellently done.

That is just awesome. That covers the d12, the d6 and d4 are easy, The D8 doesn't look too bad to make. I am just a little stumped on the d20, and the d10. then I can have a full set of D&D dice.

I was trying to remake that action ,haha I got into a big mess ,thats very difficult to do,well done .Is there a better way to animate this or is it done by physically moving each bone?

You did notice there is a project file for down load?

 

Actually, it's not very hard. A bit tedious, but not hard.

AHhhhhhh math is required

[Zaryin]

That is sweet.

Well, this may be solved with math. I kind of suggested how in an other thread, but this thread is about using A:M to solve it instead. No math involved here. Or actually it it is, but it's hidden within A:M and the user don't have to bother

Yes thank's but I wanted to learn from it rather than just take and use ,I find it realy hard to animate ,but learning all the time ,slowly slowly catch the monkey lol
