Something only possible in AS7

Working on a thing about train tracks and was wondering if I could make them appear somehow.

Did this test using the new features of AS7:

Wood pieces are 3D extruded and have physics. The rails were done with stroke exposure.

A very dynamic effect and a nice use of the new features in AS 7.

That's a nice trick, is it possible to see your anme file for studying? or if you could explain the physics involved here, do you have the wood pieces at different z depth and an invisible ground with different y values at different depth?

No, the pieces are spaced on the X axis and have a common invisible ground.

So the piece furthest back in the gif is actually the piece furthest to the right.

You can get the file here: track.zip

Very effective. Thanks for posting the file too.

Thank you ponysmasher, and great to see the file as well, very clever!

very nice use of 3d and 2d, thanks for sharing
