Wow, that was fantastic, thank you so much, I'm saving this to disk and will be studying it much more! I buried my face in the .PDF manual ve the past few days and managed to put a scene together. I understand how to put in a directional force, and then how to then set an object's Motion to Physics, but was having alot of trouble seting my objects Physical Properties Parameter(Thanks to for the second screen shot!) The first setback I hav'nt overcome has to do with the Carrara Manual pg. 474-483, "Carrara wo'nt let you move an object that has physics applied later than frame 1," but now I'm wondering what we do about object you do'nt plan to introduce untill later frames, lik after other objects have settled? The Directional Force Graphic, on page 484, also has me a little puzzled, as it has Direction Value fields I do'nt see? BTW - I found using the timelines scub very fast for previewing the scene. It maybe faster than pressing play...I'm not all together sure, but that is what the manual said to do..just thought I'd mention it. Thanks again for posting screenshots!
