we will be making a pyramid using
0:01
dominoes and blender and then use
0:04
physics to make
0:07
animation if you are an absolute
0:09
beginner you can check out my previous
0:11
and easier tutorial on how to make a
0:13
domino run in blender as shown on the
0:15
screen link is in the description open
0:18
blender and delete everything in the
0:20
scene add a plane that will act as
0:23
ground or floor for our animation add
0:26
Cube put it on top of the plane this
0:28
Cube will be our Domino
0:30
in the edit mode scale it to make the
0:32
form of a domino bevel the edges by
0:36
pressing control B in the object mode
0:39
right click and select shade smooth
0:41
arrange the dominoes in a position so
0:44
that it makes easier to apply array
0:45
modifier on them place a domino
0:48
horizontal on the plane duplicate it by
0:50
pressing shift d and place it on top
0:53
right side of the first Domino duplicate
0:55
again and place another Domino beneath
0:58
it the arrangement should be similar as
1:00
shown on the screen this way we can
1:03
easily add these dominoes using array
1:05
modifier and form a shape of a pyramid
1:09
add rigid body to any Domino by going to
1:12
physics Tab and clicking add rigid body
1:14
change the mass copy the rigid body
1:17
settings to all the dominoes by
1:19
selecting all Dominoes go to object
1:22
rigid body copy from active the active
1:25
object should have rigid body applied to
1:27
it similarly you should should add rigid
1:30
body to the plane so that dominoes have
1:33
ground to collide with just change the
1:35
type from active to passive since the
1:37
ground is stationary press space bar key
1:40
to play the animation and see if your
1:42
animation plays as shown on the screen I
1:44
think we should change the position of
1:46
this Domino for this
1:48
tutorial add two supporting dominoes
1:51
beneath these dominoes keep checking if
1:54
the animation works correctly we will
1:57
join these dominoes by pressing contrl J
1:59
so so that we can use array modifier to
2:01
make the pyramid rigid bodies won't work
2:04
properly when they're joined like this
2:06
so we will separate them once we finish
2:07
with the pyramid add array modifier by
2:10
going to modifiers tab add modifier
2:13
generate array set the count to your
2:15
liking we can see that the dominoes
2:18
nicely line up with each other because
2:20
of the arrangement of the dominoes we
2:21
made earlier we are going to use
2:23
multiple copies of these dominoes to
2:25
stack them onto one another to make the
2:28
pyramid to make things easier we are
2:31
going to use array modifier for one side
2:34
and then mirror the other side add
2:36
mirror modifier by clicking add modifier
2:39
generate mirror change the mirror object
2:42
to the plane this way it will mirror
2:45
around the origin of the plane which is
2:47
currently placed at Scene center we have
2:49
mirrored The Dominoes but we see that
2:51
there is some overlapping and the mirror
2:53
dominoes do not continue properly first
2:56
manually separate them by selecting The
2:58
Dominoes and moving away from the the
3:00
origin in
3:01
x-axis we're going to manually add in a
3:04
domino arrangement to overcome this
3:06
problem duplicate the current Domino run
3:08
object by pressing shift e and remove
3:10
all of the modifier we are left with the
3:13
single Domino run Arrangement that we
3:14
made earlier adjust it in the gap
3:16
between the two Domino run go to edit
3:19
mode and delete the extra Domino on the
3:21
side by hovering over your cursor on it
3:23
and press L key to select and delete it
3:26
you can move its origin to Center by
3:28
selecting it right C click set origin
3:31
and origin to
3:32
Geometry to make the shape of a pyramid
3:35
we're going to duplicate the Domino runs
3:37
and give it the shape of a triangle
3:39
we're going to stack Domino run on top
3:41
of each other until we get a perfect
3:42
triangle shape we don't need the
3:45
supporting Domino at the bottom of the
3:47
Domino run to be duplicated when we
3:49
stack them on top of one another thus
3:51
we're going to separate them in the edit
3:53
mode select them by pressing L key when
3:56
your mouse cursor is over them
4:01
press P key and select by selection to
4:04
separate the selected mesh also do this
4:08
for the Domino run with the modifiers
4:10
applied we see that the distance between
4:13
the bottom dominoes changes when we
4:15
separate them to fix them enable the
4:18
constant offset option in the array
4:19
modifier and adjust the distance as
4:26
shown now that we have separated the
4:29
bottom Domino from Top dominoes applied
4:31
array and mirror modifiers we can simply
4:34
keep duplicating and stacking Domino run
4:36
on top of each other while changing the
4:38
number of dominoes on each level
4:41
duplicate the top dominoes and place it
4:43
on top and change the count from array
4:45
modifier to change the number of
4:47
dominoes this is what it will look like
4:49
remember that if you play animation
4:51
right now it will not play correctly
4:53
because we are using array modifier and
4:55
we have joined some of the dominoes
5:00
just keep duplicating and make a
5:01
triangular shape before we play the
5:04
animation we need to apply all the
5:06
modifiers separate every Domino and set
5:09
their origin Point select all the
5:11
dominoes make sure that the active
5:13
selection has all the modifiers hold ALT
5:16
key and apply modifiers this will
5:18
instantly apply modifiers to all objects
5:22
separate each Domino by selecting all go
5:24
to edit mode press P key and select by
5:28
loose Parts this way each individual
5:30
Domino will be separated next set origin
5:34
point of The Dominoes in object mode
5:37
rightclick set origin origin to
5:40
Geometry we are set for our animation
5:43
now make sure that the rigid bodies are
5:45
applied to The Dominoes in plane if not
5:48
apply them first like shown earlier we
5:50
will need to initiate the Domino Chain
5:52
Reaction duplicate one Domino from any
5:55
end place it beside till that using our
5:57
key and increase its mass from the rigid
6:00
body
6:01
properties press spacebar key to run the
6:08
animation the animation runs till 250
6:11
frames this is because the animation
6:13
limit in timeline and rigid body cache
6:16
is 250 frames to go beyond this we need
6:19
to change it change the cach limit by
6:22
going to seam properties rigid body
6:24
world and cache similarly change the end
6:28
limit of the timeline if the animation
6:30
seems slow you can change the speed from
6:33
the rigid body world in the scene
6:35
properties set the end limit of the
6:37
timeline and rigid body cache where your
6:40
animation ends we don't need to render
6:42
extra
6:43
frames apply materials to The Dominoes
6:46
and ground select all the objects on
6:49
which you want to apply the materials
6:51
apply the material on the active object
6:53
and then from side menu as shown select
6:55
copy material to select
6:58
it I've used different color
7:00
combinations
7:02
here next I'm going to set up the
7:04
lighting and camera for the
7:07
scene I'm going to animate the camera
7:09
for the scene for lighting I usually use
7:12
three-point lighting system I use three
7:15
area lights with varying intensity and
7:18
sometimes I use a sunlight to illuminate
7:20
the scene properly finally set the
7:23
output settings and the format of the
7:25
video or image sequence you prefer from
7:27
the output properties and then render
7:29
the animation by pressing F12 it will
7:31
save to your chosen output
7:33
location hope you like the video please
