10 by 10 by 10 cube of Ping Pong Balls + 1 Steel Ball rendered on a computer

This is a 10 by 10 by 10 "cube" of ping pong balls which are hit by one steel ball in a virtual world.

Info:
-These "ping pong balls" have a mass of 1 and the "steel ball" has a weight of 1000. According to my calculations, the steel ball should have a mass of 800 to be accurate, but oh, well.
-This video took about 6 hours of processor time at about 2.25 GHz (about 9 GFLOPS)
-I used JBullet for physics, Sunflow for 3D rendering and some other software to change it into a video (It was all done in Java 1.6)

Things to notice:
-You can see the shockwave from the steel ball hitting travel quickly through the "cube"
-You can see the ping pong balls bounce off of the back wall
-You can see that the back wall's lighting is in huge steps. This is because I didn't set the anti aliasing to be picky enough :)

Feel free to comment and I may reply if I notice the comment :)


I do not own JBullet or Sunflow or have the rights to say that they are mine, but they are open source. I am not the maker of either of these. All I did was make a program that added a thousand and one spheres (Don't forget the steel one!) and 2 walls to the scene. I also made the program connect to the Sunflow renderer. (Ok, I did some other stuff, too... but not the physics engine or the rendering engine.)
And this doesn't mean that I'm doing anything illegal, it just means that I'm trying to give credit to software that was vital to this video.

This is the original. It has no ads.

It is also actually my first video, too, but I re-uploaded it.

love it - could I use it in a video and send you more views? I am a tt buff and want to make 3d table tennis visuals...
