Rigid bodies and cloth

[mrwolfy]

Anybody ever use cloth as rigid bodies?

I have a model of a realistically shattered glass pane. Split up into about 250 simple pieces.

I'm having a hard time getting Maya dynamic rigid bodies to work so I tried cloth, with the rigidity, deform resistance etc cranked. Seems to work quite well, but the behavior is a little bit funny. Slightly floaty. While the pieces are rigid as expected they act more like light weight cardboard than heavy glass.

Any tips? Thanks!!

It works quite well with the right settings...

thanks. Any tips? I have been noodling for a while.

Have you tried making the mass larger in the rigid body settings? You could increase the point mass settings for the cloth as well.

try increasing the magnitude of the gravity field
