Rigid Bodies won't stop moving!

[teaparty]

Hi

I got a plane (passive rigid body) and a ball (passive rigid body). I have a gravity field attached to the ball (this is a test mind you Anyway, I have animated the ball in the Y axis to simulate the ball about to be thrown (in someone's hand). At the point the ball leaves the hand, I keyframe the 'Active' to ON in the rigid body attributes. All this works...the ball continues to fly through the air. It then hits the plane and finally comes to a stop (or so it seems).. The thing is that it doesn't stop moving ...ever so slightly it moves. When i try and keyframe the 'ACTIVE' channel back to OFF, the ball jumps back to the previous keyframed position

What am i doing wrong?

thanks

Try to increase damping value..(like 0.2)..
Another thing you can do is to decrease and keyframe its conserve value.

The problem is, that you are using two passive Rigid Bodies. This can

My problem was solved by changing a value it the sphere's attributes...namely, changing the default 'Bounding Box' value to either a 'cv's/vertices' or a substituted piece of geom (sphere or box)

pretty simple now that I think of it...and now the ball stops moving in random perpetual motions

Bora, no conserve on rigid bodies! only particles.
