  • Infinite bouncing with Rigid body dynamic

    Posted by Tim Sawford on September 24, 2008 at 1:40 pm

    Hi there, I am pretty new to C4D, and really only know basics. If someone can help with this, I would be really grateful.

    I have attached a link to a screenshot of what I have so far.

    Basically, I want the white strips to drop to the bottom of the box, bounce and collide with the other strips — infinitely — as opposed to resting at the bottom eventually. However the problem I am getting with what I have so far is that if I increase the Elasticity of the strips over 100%, they penetrate the walls I setup to bounce off! Very frustrating — perhaps I am approaching what I want to achieve in the wrong way?!

    Cheers
    Tim

    Solver Object/Main/Energy Loss – 0%
    Rigid Dynamics Tag on objects – Aerodynamics – all 0%
    Rigid Dynamics Tag on objects – Collision – I don’t know what settings are going to be on a bunch of objects but if you bounce a ball on a floor and set Floor to elasticity – 100% and the ball to 101% it’s pretty close to no energy loss, both at 100% will still lose energy.

    That seems to have done the trick!! Thanks very much Brian — very much appreciated!
