unable to replicate animation - wish there was a blend file for this chapter

Question

at 6.33 and following, i am unable to replicate the motion of the monkey hitting the bowl. i am using B2.79. i have tried to copy all the parameters i can see, but many are hidden.

i do wish there there was a blend file for this chapter.

Hi Julian, I'm not sure what could be going on based on your description, but you can poke around the .blend file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rkutmfjvfoxd5sf/RigidBodies_02.blend?dl=0

hi jonathan,

thanks for the blend file. that does help, though i still cannot get the effect of the bowl receiving the momentum of the monkey as it hits it, which is what i see at 6.33. i may yet find what setting i have got that is different. i suppose it may just be that 2.79 is somehow a bit different from 2.77. i cannot know this without a fairly extensive trail through commit logs and i fear that is not going to happen!

best wishes,
julian

Hey Julian, try changing the mass of the monkey to be greater - that should force the bowl to move more even as it dampens the momentum.
