Marble simultion

[daniel-watson]

I want to simulate a stream of about 20 marbles that rolls into a bowl
the marbles have to roll into the bowl and bounce of each other
how can i do this?
any help is welcome

You can use Dynamics in the Actor Module. However, about this feature in the Reference Guides first. The Guide also gives a tutorial on a bouncing ball and collision.

Dynamics works pretty well, but it takes a lot to process, and the more collision to process the longer. You may want to do a few balls at a time.

Hope this helps,

There is a specific effect called Shock3D (in the actor module I think) that does this quite well. It can be quite complicated to get working at first. Like URP said check this feature in the Reference Guides first

Hope this helps.

It does work but has some realy strange effects sometimes

but i have a new problem (also in dynamics)
i wand a sphere to balance up and down or sideways around one point in space
I did get it to work (but with a problem)
What did i do?
wel
i took a sphere an moved it up a bit
then i put two Null's in the sen and moved one to the right
i gave the center null an direction canstraint to the other null and an up vector constraint to the sphere
then i put phisical properties on the sphere an gave the grafaty icon an oriontation constraint to to center null

this lets the grafity always point from the sphere like i want to
BUT (here comes the problem)
the sphere is moving futher and futher away from they grafity pont (its faling faster ant faster) but i dont wand that i want it stationairy

how can i fix this????????
