  MoDynamics Question

  Posted by Justin Vennes on July 15, 2010 at 9:21 pm

  Hello All,

  MoDynamics Question

  I have a client that wants an animation similar to a Hula Hoop Backspin. I have a cylinder inside a cloner object that has Custom Initial Velocity set to +1200 in the x direction and a Initial Angular Velocity set to -900 in the B rotation field. This gives me the animation I want but the cylinder eventually starts to go off axis until it falls like a real hula hoop would (on to a floor plane). I am wondering if there is a way to keep the cylinder upright…ie not have the cylinder fall flat.

  Thanks for your help in advance.

  I would increase angular damping in the force tab and increase the threshhold settings in the dynamics>deactivation section. The first change will cause the rotation to slow faster (huh?) and the second will turn off dynamics when the motion reaches the set velocity.

  Fantastic! Thank you.
