Birthday Cake

This is my wife's birthday cake that I made for her in April. I got the idea on-line and enjoyed making it.

Scene 2, Test 2

I got the particles to show up, but they're still not quite right. Only some of the particles ended showing up in the scene. Also the timing is all off now... :(

Scene 2, Test 1

Well....I thought I had a completed scene, but the particles for the sand didn't show up in the final render. Also, the color and lighting need to be changed. Back to the drawing board....

Complete Run Through Draft

This is the complete run through, minus the effects: texture, coloring, background, so on and so forth.

Falling Columns Test Continued

Here is the completed scene for the falling columns. I still need to add effects such as, sand spraying up when the object hits the ground and texture on the columns themselves. As for the basic animation sequence this is what it is going to look like.

Falling Columns Test

Two video clips of the columns falling over. The first one looks too uniformed where as the second one has more of an organic look.

Sand Test

Early sand simulation with columns.
