Description
Sphere1 falls and hits dominos which hit sphere2 which rolls and falls on the pink platforms. It bounces on each one and finally lands on the funnel. It starts to bounce and roll until it gets to its center (where the hole is located). Once it goes through the hole, it falls into a tube. The sphere then rolls out of the tube and into a spoon until it reaches the end of the spoon and knocks the block which then hits the toaster button and makes toast.
Additional information: I had a lot of issues rendering since my computer kept shutting down every time I attempted to render. I tried transfering my file and rendering on the lab machines but ended up loosing a lot of my data because maya does not have Arnold on the lab machines.
Rendered Animation
It took me 32 hours to render my animation. I realized that somehow the dynamics changed -- at the beginning of the video, the dominos never come in contact with the second sphere. Given the length of time it took to render the animation I did not want to render it again, however, included below is the playblast version containing the first part of the animation where the dominos actually collide with that second sphere. Additionally, because it took so long to render, I changed the quality to 720 instead of 1080.
