The youtube compression kills it. Please watch it from the attachment. - Would be great if we had webm playback in here.

This seems to work. Not sure if everybody has access though:

This was a bit tricky to set up. I had to render the simulated frames one at a time. There are better ways to do it, but I had no time to set them up. XD

Some stills from the animation:

Second Entry here we go!

The saga of the chasing cups continue The KineFX Rig of the cups are a bit more refined this time around (better weighting and a hierarchy that made more sense lol)

Used the following GSG Textures:
GSG_MC002_A245_ConcretePitted
GSG_MC009_A014_PaperCurlyFibers
GSG_MC015_A022_RedCedarUnfinished02

Maybe I can make a whole series of these cups by the end of the challenge

a little flipbook to show more of the anim and rig
