Falling Paperclip - Polyloop

mon_stdnt · 18th February 2006, 04:06

I'm doing this animation of a falling paperclip, but the problem is that when it hits the ground to high. How would I make it bounce less using physics for more realistic view?

Here's a test .mov I've did. I've played around with the physics properties for a bit. But it bounces to high.

See page 377(381) of theC5 Help. Items 5 and 6.

I would play with the bounce value found in Physical Properties in Effects tab.

Try a value of 25-30 and see what happens.

Hope this helps.

Here is the latest render I did, used damping force and directional force to do it.

Well done, though just a tiny bit of extra bounce may not do amiss.

Your image may be technically more correct in relation to true bounce but somtimes things need to be exagerated slightly to make them more visually acceptable. Use a blend of Art and Science?
