Short: Imagine anim of toppling dominoes Author: Ragnar Fyri (ragnar.fyri@daf.no) Uploader: Ragnar Fyri (ragnar fyri daf no) Type: pix/3dani Architecture: generic This is a WIP (Work In Progress) in the sense that I want to do more with it but haven't had the time or energy yet. In a way the story started in 1963 when I got a set of dominoes for my birthday. I don't remember if I or anyone played much with them, but the box eventually wound up at the bottom of a drawer, finally turning up again a couple of years back when the last member of the family was getting ready to leave the family's old home and everything had to find a new place to clutter up. I took the old battered box home (and found that one tile was missing... *sigh*) in the middle of one of my "Imagine-ary" phases where I couldn't look at something without starting to think about how to model it in Imagine. A domino tile is just a plain box and not very interesting in itself, but making all the different ones could be either 1) quite a chore, or 2) a little programming challenge. I took it as the latter, and after making just one tile and six brushmaps I wrote a little program that uses the different parts to build a complete set of tiles. Okay, I had the complete set. Now I had two choices again: Make a still picture of a game in progress, or an animation of toppling dominoes. You already know from the short description what I found most... ah... interes- ting! I will probably upload the objects and the program that made them later, and may even include a more or less detailed description of the more inte- resting parts of the project.
