Adventures in timing

[ChrisThom]

OK I know that this has been done, oh, about a billion and a half times but it's still a good way to experiment with timing and gravity.

It's still got some tweeking to do but not a bad start.

 

Thoughts?

Is it simulated?

I tried to do this using rigid body with no succses.

I woul like to know how You did this.

That would make a great Arctic Pigs 'real time' animation!

Although it is mechanical, it doesn't have to look mechanical, I suggest a little ease in-ease out applied to the end balls.

 

I'm going to have to try this myself sometime.

This is all keyframed, but I suppose you could do this using rigid bodies too. It probably would have saved me some time. Maybe that will be my next experiment.

Thanx, I agree that I need to play with the easing at the pinacle a bit more.

 

One thing that I added to give it a little more "real" feeling was that if you look at the middle balls there's a little sway to them when they are struck.

 

Thanx for everyones input. I'll post more as I update it.
