Practicing Physics 2010-02-13 21:12:05 Reply

I'm looking for some things to practice animating. I've tried water (first attempt here) and apparently I'm decent at it. I tried fire and I'm completely lost. I'm going to try string physics later on for the heck of it.

What are other things (apart from fire, water, and string) I can animate that are physics intensive? I'm trying to shy away from typical motion, inertia, and bouncing, so I'm leaning more towards strange and exotic things to animate.


If I offer to help you in a post, PM me to get it. I often forget to revisit threads.

Smoke is my favorite thing to animate. It's almost weightless and depending on what interacts with it, it can do some really cool stuff.
