Very nicely done! The only thing that seemed off to me is when the balls drop down the holes. The seem to warp and it looks a bit unnatural. But very nice work!

It took me like 3 loops to realize this wasn’t real lol. Good work.

I was hoping it was real. It inspires me to make a real one, anyway.

this looks really great. as an additional note, it looked (in my opinion, of course) better at 1.25x speed. 1.5x made the drop speed too fast.

really nice to watch on a loop for a while, thanks for sharing this

Wow! This is amazing! I didn’t know this could be made digitally, it looks so real, especially with the details of the bottle of glue and other pieces on the table, it’s awesome!

How do I set this as a phone background Jesus this is calming

Remove half of the slots to make it more mesmerizing. Idk if that will affect the physics or if the computer automatically adjusts for that.

The immediate loss of momentum when they land is the part that feels uncanny. Especially when combined with the feather-light roll down the initial slope, it feels like the density and friction of the balls is constantly changing.

Well I just watched that for a solid 5 minutes.

Heavy objects with momentum don't just stop when they hit an object. There's like a physics law about energy or something like that. The point is if the ball had a heavy mass then the moment and the weight would be enough for a tiny bounce. Not like a giant hop but enough that there would be something.

Awesome work! What tools did you use? Unreal?

Good job at first glance I thought this was real .

Duffman66CMU t1_iyaojh7 wrote

That’s just what I noticed. There outfit to be a slight bounce, depending on what ‘material’ the green part is made of. Looks like jade or plastic to me, so I’d assume it’s hard enough to bounce. Makes my brain hurt.

Honestly if there was a silent version of this, I would get it and keep it in my office. Its so relaxing to look at. But i am guessing this version makes a lot of noise

IMO would be neater with less ball interaction. Smaller balls, less frequent release up top, larger trays for them to roll around.

hi!! it looks awesome! do you have an insta where u upload your renders?

DLathers t1_iybxv4f wrote

What software or combination of software did you use? This is awesome

lbigbirdl t1_iybzyux wrote

I think if you tuned the speed of the lift wheel, you could get the balls more evenly spaced as they roll around the first funnel. Might add to the satisfaction levels

This is so pleasing to watch. I want to make one for real just like this. I actually didn’t realise it wasn’t real until i saw the dickbutt and he didnt reappear. I was trying to figure out if it folded down or the belt went a different route. Great work!!

There's overrotation at play there, since they're rolling on rails. Basically the bearings are spinning on the rails at a "normal" speed, but each full rotation doesn't move them forward as much because they only touch the rails at the sides rather than at the bottom.

toastspork t1_iydcmq4 wrote

Too smooth. They're instantly at rail speed.

They'd pop out of the holes, and skid a bit as they'd decelerate. Then, since the rails are at a slight decline, they'd accelerate a bit.
