Autodesk Maya Project Brief

I have been given the task of creating a  domino effect sequence. Base on a  theme of my choice. I should consider what the setting would be, the objects and  the goal.

To help come up with an idea I did some research into Rube Goldberg machines, this meted me basically  watching a lot of videos of contraptions and devices, both of which were  live-action and animation. These are some of the best videos I found which helped me come up with my idea.

3D Rube Goldberg machine


Although being the first reference video I am posting, this was not one of the first I found (which could have saved me a lot of time). This Rube Goldberg machine was instrumental in the concept of my idea. I think it is well done, and i like in particularly the end. My idea takes strong influence from this animation. 


Marble Course (3ds Max animation)


This animation was another great Rube Goldberg machine I found, and really liked. The texture and detail put into the background and objects is impressive. The animation flows well and runs really smoothly.


Computer Animated Rube Goldberg


This is another great Rube Goldberg animation I found which helped me build on my idea.


This is just a really cool 
domino effect sequence!!
