Hello CG Talkers,
I was wondering if I could get a few of you to comment on a short semi-interactive animation I am working on.
- Background -
This short animation was made for a project in a Web Development class.
I had two weeks to create the entire project which consisted of 3 parts: 3DSMax modeling/animation, flash animations, and action scripting. I tried to keep as much quality as I could, but I also had a tight time schedule so I had to use object and textures that would render fast.
- Details -
I am again impressed by how I could simulate physics using Reactor. There are no keyframes added by me for the launching and collision of the trebuchet or the projectile. Though one minor adjustment was made after reactors calculations to raise the point of impact by few bricks.
Just a side note, but the entire castle is made of individual bricks.
- Plans -
What I would like to do is develop this project more, change the storyline slightly, add more details and such. Which is why I am looking for a few comments on what I could add and improve or fix.
It is developed for local playback right now, which is one thing I want to change so you will have to download the .zip file below and just open the start.html page in your web browser.

Picture of what to expect:
