Re: ICE Rigid Bodies endless spin..

Thanks for the suggestions. I have had much more success using real sphere
geo and instancing the shape rather than the default sphere shape.

with the scalar as 0.5 for example. that way it would gradually slow down, 
rather than snap to zero?
it might still look quite wrong though.
or perhaps clamp, to get rid of the very high values.

Instead of restting, maybe you could quaternion interpolate the rotation?

ICE Rigid Bodies endless spin..

[Steve Parish]

Hey guys,

I've jumped back into Soft for an ICE project and am having trouble with
rigid bodies. Its a pretty simple simulation, essentially balls whizzing
all over the place and then coming to a complete standstill on the floor. I
am able to get them very still but a few of them get this crazy spin on the
spot. Does anyone have any idea how to stop this?

So far I have tried these with no effect;
* Drag
* precision (up to very high values)
* removing angular velocity whilst stationary (I know this is wrong)
* resetting orientation when stationary (this snaps them to zero
unnaturally)
* altering gravity

Any other ideas?

Thanks
Steve P
