Hey! I just used A:M's SimCloth feature again in another TV spot and it didn't let me down. I needed to show a Christmas present UNwrapping, so first I did the bow unwrap in an action using muscle-mode animation to sort of 'undraw' itself. Once it was gone the ribbons wrapping around the present were free to fall- and SimCloth did the trick with very little futzing. All this to sell furniture...

FREE SNOWFLAKE MODELS FROM THE SPOT!

 

My client gave me some cool snowflake ai's and I used the ai wizard to make some pretty cool snowflake models. If anyone is interested in adding them to their collections, please enjoy!

That is one nice looking sim. Is there any way you could change the rate of fall? The two visible ribbons look like they're falling at the same speed. If you could vary the fall you'd have yourself one organic and natural feeling ribbon

 

Also, did you animate the snowflakes too? Never mind.

very, very cute ribbons - well done.

 

Now if you had only used sprites or newton dynamics so that the snow would gather on the furniture, and then freeze up with ice like fluids. That would totally convince me to buy from this store for sure.

that is so cool! I had the same sort of effect in one of the ideas I pitched to my boss for our christmas greeting, where a gift appears on a computer screen and unwraps itself in just this way. Of course they went with the Christmas Snail, but I was sort of sweating whether this effect could be achieved in AM. I shouldn't have worried!
