Because all people don't necessarily have the same idea as you of what the
"ultimate show-off animation" is. I personally find collisions with spheres,
cylinders and boxes a bit boring because they're just simple geometric
shapes, and they don't occur much in the real world. But I've done a few
animations with collisions with height-fields, which you can see on my
website.

We're not mind-readers. We have done lots of animations and if they don't
happen to please your exact tastes, that's not our problem.

If you ask us to try out a specific idea for an animation, maybe one of us
will try it out if you're lucky, but really, we do mainly what *we* think is
fun...

I think there have been lots of awesome animations already. It's very
difficult to know what your idea of "an awesome animation" is.
