Subject : directing a rigid body dynamics simulation
I'm trying out rigid body dynamics for the first time on a job. The objects are moving in a nice fashion now that I have everything tweaked. The problem I'm having is that every time I run the sim, the objects end up in different places each time. I need to sort of get the objects to end in certain areas for the shot composition. Is this just how it is with RBD or am I missing something. For some reason I thought it would pretty much give me the same sim every time if I don't change any values. I don't have any forces except gravity.

Thanks,
