We have to animate a roller coaster and wanted to add realistic thrust and
gravity response. So far the only way we've found to do it is completely
manually. It's a large piece though and without some kind of formula it's
not going to be easy. We may have to resort to a spreadsheet.
We purchased Impact and even the old ProMotion programs in hopes that they
would be of help, but neither one will allow real world forces to be
applied to an object with a *known* path. They seem to be more oriented
toward applying forces and determining where the object will end up as a
result.
Some time ago I read an article in VTU or LWP that mentioned a program that
would calculate accelertion and deceleration between key frames. I've
poked around a few sites and have been unable to find anything that meets
this description.
Thanks. Any input is appreciated.
