"Reactor Dominos"
Completed January 24, 2007

This was a one day project produced at Hatch Studios Ltd. to develop a 100% computer simulated dynamics-driven domino sequence.

The only keyframed part of this entire animation is the first domino which was animated to fall onto the second and therefore trigger the reaction.

  • A series of cascading red dominoes falling in succession on a smooth, light background. The perspective shows the dynamic motion and impact.
  • Red dominoes are arranged in a line on a white surface, forming a right angle. The perspective suggests motion and potential energy, creating anticipation.

The sequence was completely generated with 3dsmax’s Reactor system and took less than 5 minutes to fully calculate 13 seconds of animation which would have otherwise taken weeks to do manually.
