The holidays are close, it’s snowy and icy outside — perfect time for some winter FX. Let’s do a throwback to Workshop 2 and animate two short loops: an icicle falling down and a pile of snow sliding off a roof.
Same situation, different physics: snow is soft, breaks apart and «flows» as it falls; an icicle is rigid, drops faster, and hits with a sharp, clean impact. A great way to train timing, weight, and impact. Want a tiny story beat? Add a character reaction — maybe a rabbit gets buried by snow and jumps when the icicle lands.
A quick, simple exercise to keep your animation skills warm during the holidays.
