Custard pies

I have a presentation to do. It would be really nice if I could do a little animation which involves custard pies flying through the air and obliterating/splatting on a signpost.

Has anyone got any quick ideas on this? Or some useful tutorials.

i bet you could have some fun with softbodys win making this i wouldent think it would be to hard but i have never tryed

Will this inspire you?

Quickie Animation

I know that was just a test turd, but why does the splatter get smaller instead of expanding. does the collision detection not expand on impact? Your turd just folds in on itself and looks pretty unrealistic. What gives?

Maybe you could try scaling it up X and Y during impact to get a good enlarging splat effect?

hmmm. excellent ideas, thanks everyone. Spin, I was really looking forward to the inspiration that the exploding turd would provide… however, I couldn’t see it, darnit! Err, any chance of a quicktime-friendly file? I NEED the inspiration

how about using metaballs for the custard?
