:In my experience it's exactly like stated in the article, an object with a rigid body mass of 50+ is very hard to move at all, and one with 100 won't even move when you run into it.--[[User:JOG|JOG]] 11:32, 26 August 2006 (EDT) | :In my experience it's exactly like stated in the article, an object with a rigid body mass of 50+ is very hard to move at all, and one with 100 won't even move when you run into it.--[[User:JOG|JOG]] 11:32, 26 August 2006 (EDT) | ||
:The various observations are due to the fact that the mass of a bhkRigidBody alone controls nothing about the movement, only the combination with other properties like friction does. Also, there is no such thing as a "maximum force" the player can exert onto bodies, so if it is movable (mass < 95), it can be moved at 80 mass as much as at 50 mass, though the movement will be much smoother at 80: If the player moves the mouse half of the screen while grabbing the object, the force is greater than it would be for a mass of 50, moved half the screen, and thus the movement overcomes friction more easy. | ::The various observations are due to the fact that the mass of a bhkRigidBody alone controls nothing about the movement, only the combination with other properties like friction does.

If you want a really smoothly moving object, go for high mass and low friction. | ::If you want a really smoothly moving object, go for high mass and low friction. | ||
