Blender Tutorial: How to Add Physics to Blender Render

[AceTrainerKayden]

not working my objects either go through the plane or stop above the plane

[underhill1994]

@AceTrainerKayden make sure your plane is a collision object under the physics panel

[AceTrainerKayden]

@underhill1994 Ok did that and the plane falls with the object too

nice so can i just render the coins as the fall like (ctrl F12)

[underhill1994]

@edwardochieng sure can. it'll be just as slow as it plays back in the viewport though. there is a new(er) tutorial up on blendercookie by jonathan williamson. you should check that out, covered some things i didn't. :)

Thanks. Never messed with the Game engine. I was wondering how he made those coins fall. Probably Andrew did something similar with the building collapse in New York animation. Thanks, very informative. I'll have to try this after work.

I got it to work, Under the Scene Settings there's a button under Game that Says Start and it rendered it like normal

[underhill1994]

@EverydayandYou i think p starts the game engine. I'm sorry i should speak up a little more. glad you got it working though! :D

[EverydayandYou]

@underhill1994 oh, well I think I heard you say P but I thought it was just a diiferent way of playing the animation lol but yeah I heard you Ill try that

[EverydayandYou]

I followed your tutorial exactly and my "coin" or any object I've used just stays in mid air and doesn't fall

Thanks for this useful tip..However, I think your computer is getting ready for lift off! ;)

[underhill1994]

@pauludesign thanks! :D what do you mean about my computer? its running slower cuz i got the camstudio running. lol im actually working on my laptop cuz i don't have a desktop.

@underhill1994 Wasnt to be disrespectful, just heard the fan and it reminded me of my xbox360 trying to cool down. Laptop wasnt slow at all. Once again great tutorial, high five!
