Wandering about YouTube, it occurs to me that it seems like its a common practice that when one is learning the reactor physics engine inside 3DS MAX, they do so by torturing poor, defenseless ragdolls. Hell... some have made the practice an art form.
Below is my attempt (also, I might add, my first true computer animation). Now, I am humbled to admit that it took me five hours to complete this. But considering this was the first time I've ever touched a physics engine (not to mention the first time doing key frame animation in 3DS) I am not too ashamed.
In fact, I am quite proud of my work...
