The Domino Effect (Blender 2.5 physics animation)

Took 3 days to render this, used blender 2.5's amazing physics engine (set correctly at 30fps - so many people leave it on the default of 60) - Also used Image based lighting (IBL) to make it look more real, could maybe have done with a higher sample rate to get rid of the noise, but would have taken 6 days instead :-)
Did originally use a domino texture, but it looked a bit crap, so changed it.

Also note, there was one stack left standing... it did eventually fall in the physics engine, but took about 10 more seconds!

Blender is one of the easiest and best game engine (for non commercial use, of course).

Very nice render, good lighting and music too! :)

My massive physics animation should be ready this weekend. 8)

Excellent job man! I saw no errors (jumpy blocks) and it all looked very natural. I'd say it was worth the 3 days render time! Keep it up! :)

Great animation!

3 days... may be you should bake textures and etc...
