Design Image Used for Reveal

Description

This project creates a dynamic physics-based domino animation using a Python script inside Maya. The script:

• Prompts for an image file (20×20).
• Creates over 200 dominoes based on the pixels.
• Colors each domino according to the image.
• Sets up rigid body dynamics and a side pusher.
• Generates a full 360-frame simulation automatically.
