*Salt Water Taffy Puller*


#1

Hey guys,

Just wanted to run something by you all. Ive been requested to model + animate a salt water taffy puller. I am rather lost of what to do as far as the animation aspect of the project.

Ive been asked to reproduce something similar to these effects;

Does anybody have any ideas as how to approach/do this? Or even where to start.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

I’m pretty sure you can achieve this with “Lagoa” and ICE in Softimage.
However it’s not available yet, will be in next release of SI.

You would also need a polygonizer which will also be in SI.
Some pre-training here:

Hey - thanks for that.

Im not going to be able to wait for the new SI. Based on the style of the project Im going to create the mechanical pieces in 3D and animate in 2D and see what that looks like

Thanks for your help.
