[Dynamica]Retaining Velocity from passive to active state

Post by Hofuzz »

Hello,

When using Maya Dynamica, I was wondering if there's a way to retaining the translate & Spin velocity when a rigid body goes from passive to active mode by keying its mass from zero to non-zero.

For example, I would key some debris as passive flying across the screen, then key it as active for it to scatter on to the ground, but it would just "drop dead" rather then inheriting the velocity.

Thank you! :mrgreen:
