Realistic Ball Rolling

[jarvis]

Alright, I'm making a tiny test animation with dynamics. Two billiard balls make contact, but I can't get them to roll realistically. They're just randomly rotating, but they stay on the ground just fine.

Help is a appreciated, and thanks in advance.

Your static friction needs to be HIGHER than dynamic friction for starters (also the table needs more fliction than ball to ball collision). Secondly do set the proxy to sphere! And possibly use a boundary contraint for the groundplane intead of geometry.

But yeah the dyynamic eingene of maya isnt all that accurate. Increasing tine strep helps but maya does NOT take into account certain very important things about rigdbody physiucs. grannted they dont apply to balls.
