Crab...Keep Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, What!

Showcase July 2022 Competition
1

Here are my submissions for the July 2022 Ragdoll Dynamics Competition. I had a lot of fun learning and seeing everyone’s work, as well as reading up on @Jason and @marcus tips was very helpful to get more familiar with the tool. I especially like that the contact with the collision objects don’t penetrate after baking the sim onto the anim. Rendering it shows great contact shadows as well when the crab interacts with the environment and any objects that are ragdolled as well. I’m submitting a final render without motion blur, a playblast, and another render with motion blur (best viewed with audio enabled). Good luck to everyone, and hope we get more competitions as it helps learn the tool much faster.

Great work. Yes, contact shadows make a huge difference! It’s the thing usually hidden in movies because of how badly/difficult it is to get right. One is the many things we hope to change with Ragdoll!

I’ve embedded my video submissions with a reduced file size now to be below the 8mb limit at 1920x1080p.

Though, my original files were around 10.5mb at 1920x1080p, is it possible to increase this file size restriction to something like 15mb in the future?

Thank you, this is great!

We also want to think of our fellow mobile users, with limited bandwidth. And of our backups, to keep the forum alive and well in case of a disaster. 2x size means 2x the tears. :sob:
