Dickbutt for the cherry on top 👌🏼

Around 37 seconds it spins around the wheel lol

Apparently I didn’t watch it enough times. I kept zooming in on the glue label.

Very nicely done! The only thing that seemed off to me is when the balls drop down the holes. The seem to warp and it looks a bit unnatural. But very nice work!

I disagree I think you got the speed right and most people don’t pay attention to these things in real life

The immediate loss of momentum when they land is the part that feels uncanny. Especially when combined with the feather-light roll down the initial slope, it feels like the density and friction of the balls is constantly changing.

Yeah they need a tiny bounce to pull off realism. But it's still super satisfying to watch regardless

qualia_fiend t1_iy9tobb wrote

I actually thought the balls were heavy when looking at the initial roll at top, which would lack much of a bounce as they fell down.

CutieBoBootie t1_iyaje3x wrote

Heavy objects with momentum don't just stop when they hit an object. There's like a physics law about energy or something like that. The point is if the ball had a heavy mass then the moment and the weight would be enough for a tiny bounce. Not like a giant hop but enough that there would be something.

That’s just what I noticed. There outfit to be a slight bounce, depending on what ‘material’ the green part is made of. Looks like jade or plastic to me, so I’d assume it’s hard enough to bounce. Makes my brain hurt.

Okay_Secret t1_iya00x9 wrote

I think it’s because they have zero bounce, as well as the contraption not vibrating from the impact.

Trickdaddy1 t1_iya9uiy wrote

And they fall at an angle that seems to have too much horizontal movement for the slow speed they’re at

The too-slow roll when the first pop out of the elevator bugged me.

the-grim t1_iycuugx wrote

There's overrotation at play there, since they're rolling on rails. Basically the bearings are spinning on the rails at a "normal" speed, but each full rotation doesn't move them forward as much because they only touch the rails at the sides rather than at the bottom.

toastspork t1_iydcmq4 wrote

Too smooth. They're instantly at rail speed.

They'd pop out of the holes, and skid a bit as they'd decelerate. Then, since the rails are at a slight decline, they'd accelerate a bit.

bitey87 t1_iyaacyj wrote

Same, none of the bearings did the tight spiral before dropping. I've watched too much Marble Olympics. lol

GOoooooooorangers!

WhiteRaven42 t1_iycjpmj wrote

I second the drop comment. Too fast or something. The rest of everything is so good, it kind of stands out as "wrong".

I was hoping it was real. It inspires me to make a real one, anyway.

you can make stuff like this in lego. Lookup great brick contraptions

Brandillio t1_iydi1k2 wrote

Sorry do you mean Great Ball Contraptions? I googled Brick and the other one keeps popping up :) thanks! I’ve been looking for something like this for my kid.

skyliethecat t1_iy8eimg wrote

this looks really great. as an additional note, it looked (in my opinion, of course) better at 1.25x speed. 1.5x made the drop speed too fast.

really nice to watch on a loop for a while, thanks for sharing this

GargantuanGorgon t1_iy99ggv wrote

I think the drop speed is a bit fast, makes the balls look very heavy.

Wow! This is amazing! I didn’t know this could be made digitally, it looks so real, especially with the details of the bottle of glue and other pieces on the table, it’s awesome!

Question: why have you posted this multiple times in different colors and flipped?

compsciasaur t1_iyagaup wrote

As far as I can tell, it's only posted once in each sub, which is perfectly fine to me.

Wait, this is digital?!? I truly thought it was real.

Remove half of the slots to make it more mesmerizing. Idk if that will affect the physics or if the computer automatically adjusts for that.

Honestly if there was a silent version of this, I would get it and keep it in my office. Its so relaxing to look at. But i am guessing this version makes a lot of noise

emptybottleofdoom t1_iybr0ny wrote

IMO would be neater with less ball interaction. Smaller balls, less frequent release up top, larger trays for them to roll around.

hi!! it looks awesome! do you have an insta where u upload your renders?

DLathers t1_iybxv4f wrote

What software or combination of software did you use? This is awesome

lbigbirdl t1_iybzyux wrote

I think if you tuned the speed of the lift wheel, you could get the balls more evenly spaced as they roll around the first funnel. Might add to the satisfaction levels

Wow it looks like real life great job 👏 and the contraption is really cool 😎 and the Elmer’s glue in the backround amazing 🤩

shaunyb81 t1_iyce6xf wrote

This is so pleasing to watch. I want to make one for real just like this. I actually didn’t realise it wasn’t real until i saw the dickbutt and he didnt reappear. I was trying to figure out if it folded down or the belt went a different route. Great work!!
