Hello again!
A while ago I was playing Jenga with my friends. I thought it would be cool to make a block simulation just like Jenga.
A while ago I was playing Jenga with my friends. I thought it would be cool to make a block simulation just like Jenga.
I wanted to finish it as soon as possible. The first one which is at the bottom had a lot of glitches in the animation but I did not want to polish it as it gave me a couple of different ideas for another block animation. In total the first one took around 30 minutes to complete and a few hours to render with my NVidia Quadro P4000.
One of those ideas was to use chocolate bricks. In the first one while I was doing the materials I started with a procedural PBR wood however it turned out quite boring for me as it was getting closer to reality with the materials but further away from it with the simulation. Then I turned the material into a wood grained chocolate. That's when it dawned on me!
The wrapping for tha chocolate was painted using Procreate's 3D painting function. I wanted to create a hypothetical brand for my new chocolate. For the animation to be as fun as possible I arranged the chocolate bricks in a way that the one that's falling would shatter the structure. I think it can be turned into a halloween game in which all the blocks you take out you eat.
This is the predecessor to the first one. I think of it as a concept.
