Question
Hello, I have an issue, I need to keep my dominoes falling, as they stop on the 2nd domino. How do I link them, or do I? Thank you. If you have a step by step tutorial or instructions, I would greatly appreciate them!

Answer
You need to do one of 2 things. You either have to add keyframes of the falling motion to each domino (you can copy and paste them and just adjust their timing to follow each other) OR you can use a physics simulator to do it for you. 3ds max uses the Reactor simulator. In this case you would only need to keyframe the initial motion of the first domino falling and it will take care of the rest. This requires more setup time though.

good luck
