Marbles run along the curves and loops, perfectly synchronized in a delightful display. The joy of watching them is simply irresistible!
Are you aware this video has only 100 frames and lasts only 4 seconds, running as a loop?
We have been playing with marbles since childhood, and the idea was to create a digital equivalent. From a few simple shapes, complex track systems can be created for the marbles. This was our first attempt, and the possibilities are endless. In the downloaded files, you will find the final project and a collection of tracks, allowing you to start creating your own immediately. Using physics simulation in C4D, the marbles were animated, cached, and converted into Alembic files to ensure smooth playback.
The files are for educational purposes only and to spark your ideas.
