Subject: Simulating gravity, mass, etc.

Can anyone point me to a tutorial, discussion thread or what-not that describes how to simulate the effects of gravity and mass on various objects? Specifically, I need to simulate those depressions caused by someone sitting on a sofa cushion, lying on a bed and/or pillow, and all that happy Einsteinian/relativistic/space-is-curved crap. Many thanks in advance.

I'm currently reading a book called Coming of age in the Milky Way that explains some of it (it's an ancient book, but fun 'Sunday supplement' kind of Science..;)It does explain all that..at least up to the part I'm at..;)
I dunno, most people sitting on furniture just leave a general impression (unless you're talking about the old beanbag chairs, etc), and often, depending on the resiliency of the cushions, fabric, etc., tend to smooth out as you get out of them.
Unless you're going to be doing a closeup of the affected area, a general depression (shaped like, well, sorta, you know..;) would do. If noone's there any more, a little hollow in the center of the cushions would probably do you. If someone's sitting there, you can just move the figure slightly into the cushions, and get the same general effect. Good luck.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

You can use magnets to make the effect.

Someone asked a similar question a couple of days ago. The script and tutorial mentioned in the link should help you, too.

Try this thread. Post 61 and 62 explain how it's done using magnets.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

This is a link to Ockham's Eureka python script that will solve the problem you mentioned. Can take a while to work, though, from my experience.

May be here you find it quicker, it's at the bottom of the page.
