Hello Mark,
Whacky, fun and clever, all at the same time.
Impressive stuff.

Hi Chris,
Thanks, I'd better test-render smaller, this one took too long with
motion blur 7.
The funny thing is that this is based on an 'art' object I actually
made, a LONG time ago (1985?) when I was an art school student (yeah,
whacky...). the real thing was 5x5x5 however, and had a second frame
and a brick to pull down the weight, and elastics instead of steel
springs (cheap stuff). Maybe it would be interesting to try to
recreate from memory the room where it hang.
It's really impressive how much the Chrono simulation resembles the
real movements (except perhaps the excessive rotation of the cubes,
I'll have to take a look at that). And it's fast: in wirewrame mode
this plays almost realtime!
