  • Dynamics on 3d layers. (Jenga tower)

    Hi guys,

    I’ve came up with this idea of building a jenga tower in After Effects. First made a comp with 1 brick (6 faces) then import that brick comp in a new comp (switch on collapse transformations so that it becomes a 3d brick) and built the tower.

    It would be great if I could manage to lett the tower crumble down. I have tried Newton 2, but that only works with 2d layers, or 1 axis if you parent a 3d to that null output. And a jenga tower has bricks on two axis.

    Any ideas? ( upodate – Im trying out Toybricks – aescript at the moment)

    Toy Bricks seems like a good place to start with Ae, but I’d approach this project in C4D.
