Animating Garbage

[tkxe666]

Hello,

I want to make a animation of garbage (500 pieces) who falls down twenty stairs (over every stair).
What is the best way to do this animation? Particles or rigid bodys or another way?
After the 10th stair the garbage should go up in flames.

Please help

Many greetings

Toran

I'd say a mixture of techniques.. particles are good for lots of small debris and then rigids for the larger pieces. Also do not try to do on ebig simulation. You'll want to create it in smaller portions otherwise it'll take forever and make it harder to run the simulation over and over until you get the right motion.
