"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.

  • Rows of red dominoes arranged in an upward-pointing arrow on a white surface, conveying movement and direction. The lighting is dramatic and dynamic.
  • Red dominoes are arranged in the shape of a guitar on a white surface. The dominoes are scattered, creating a dynamic, artistic pattern.

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.
