Static Object

Creates a Static Object from SOP Geometry.

See also: RBD Object, Static Solver, Ground Plane, Terrain Object

This tool is useful to use with an RBD Object, where the static object influences the RBD object. For example, a bat hitting a ball or a vase shattering on a table.

Using Static Objects

  1. Select the geometry to convert to a static object.

  2. Click the Static Object tool on the Rigid Bodies tab.

The table is the static object.

Note

You can transform, rotate, scale, and keyframe the static object at various frames.

For specific parameter help see the Static Object dynamics node help.

Switching to the dynamics level

  1. Click the Dynamics Select Mode button on the selector and handle controls toolbar.

  2. Click the static object in the scene view.
