Re: spinning balls - rigid body weirdness

Umm.. for 36 objects all falling and bouncing at different rates...   dont think that'd be practical.  I suppose we could.. but we'd like to avoid that approach ;)  I feel like I'm missing something.  Guess I'll give Eric and Manny a call in the morning.

Thanks anyway, Andi.

Could you animate them back to passive at an appropriate point in the animation?

Subject: spinning balls - rigid body weirdness

Folks,

We've got about 3 dozen pingpong ball type RB's falling into an invisible passive rigid body so they accumulate into a shape.  This all works fine.  The problem is, after the balls come to rest positionally, they all keep spinning.  We've messed with the static and dynamic friction of both the balls and the vessel and nothing seems to stop it.

Anyone have any ideas?
