Wooden Toy Train Animation {WIP}

Hello! A current project I’ve been working on is making a little animation of a toy train then proceed to have it crash and scatter everywhere like kids demolishing their little wooden train sets! I’ve been having difficulty in trying to figure out how to make it crash and scatter. I might do some experimenting with rigid body simulations, let me know if you have any good ideas, it would be appreciated! Right now I’ve just been working on making the models and the materials. :grin:

So adorable ! :heart:

The wheels might be too donut-shaped in appearance.
Maybe they’re too thin from the sides.

Though the scene looks well done so far. :slight_smile:

The wood grain goes the wrong way in places, there is no end grain I can see.

To animate this, I would use curves as paths and keyframe the various parts separating after impact.

I still have a train like this that my Granddad made for me!

Cheers, Clock.
