Hi, Iam so on the verge of buying 7.5. Still learning the demo. PLEASE I beg of Caligari (I purchased Version 2 many years ago and I have stuck by Caligari) provide us demo users with the manual. I just learned more of the really incredible physics stuff. This is something not even my XSI can do.


1. Put 2 spheres or objects on the screen.

2. Add physics attributes to both (the tire will do)

3. Right click on the physics START STOP icon on the bottom and open up the physics PANEL on right side. Click on the SAVE ANIMATION (this will keyframe your interactions) check mark.

4. Then click on the PHYSICS MOVE button.

5. With your mouse interact with the scene all you want. Objects interact and bounce off each other. Go and do anything you want. Its all being key frames because you clicked on the SAVE ANIM.


THE REALLY NEAT thing is that all this is saved as KEYFRAMED animation. You can go back and add regular keyframing animation with other objects without physics and all works together with your physics animation. The possiblities and power of this are endless. What I can do in a few minutes takes me several hard hours with my XSI.


Anyway, thats my todays RAVE!

Hey Steinie, wasn't something you were trying to figure out? How to key frame mouse driven animation? :)
