a short tutorial on how to create a jelly cube effect using just maya complete.

Ive posted a video of what can be achieved using this method here:
"http://www.sharecg.com/v/6034/animation/jelly-cubes,-multiple"

if you create a bunch of them and make them intercollide.

The way intercollisions is set up is this:
-You create a bunch of jelly-cubes, as explained in the tutorial.
-then you make the particles of each jelly collide, with the geometry, of all the _other_ jellies
-finally you tweak the resilience (bounciness), and friction, of the intercollisions, this is done most efficiently by selecting all the geoConnector nodes, and then tweak them all at once in the channelbox.

good luck

btw.. it doesnt have to be cubes, Ive used the same method for bouncy lettering etc. Less
