Programming CH4 - Joints

Challenge 4 was focusing on joints. The challenge was to make a contraption using joints, and cloth if you wanted to. I made this crazy spider thing that slams his leg down on this seesaw and launches some balls onto a piece of cloth. I used hinge joints and matinee for everything. I put a physical material on the balls so they would react they way I wanted them to.

For the material in this challenge I wanted to tackle and animated material. Which is incredibly easy, to my surprise. All I had to do was take my video, courtesy of Brendon Small and his wonderful show Metalocalypse, and convert it to a .bink file. Hook that up to emissive and that's it. I played around with some bump offset, fresnel, and powers to make it look more like a screen. The material is huge, 25MByte, but it's a neat little experiment.
