Making gravity negative

[Mark]

I am sure I have done this before,
Place a rigid body tag on an object, go to Scene Settings, and set the gravity to negative and the object should float, correct? I can not get this to work even though I am seeing tutorials on YouTube showing it working. am I missing something? I am on a Mac with he latest C4D.

Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark,

Negative goes down; positive goes up, at least for the Scene Gravity.

The Force Gravity shows only the acceleration (not minus), as it can be rotated, like upside down (180º); if left at 981m/s^2, it might cancel each other out (if rotated upside down). The example below used twice the amount, half to cancel and the other half to move things up.

All the best

Thanks, I had the wrong tag on it! There are 2 Rigid body tags!!??? What the $&*@#^!! I used the one in the Bullet section! Why are there 2 tags with the same name, very confusing!

Thank you for the help, Dr Sassi!!!

Hi Mark,

I understand your view; yes, it is confusing, and confusion is surely not supportive of learning.

The different menus are called the same: Annoying or useful to get used to a new system; I assume it is a question of perspective.
However, when in use, they are called differently. At least.

Either way, sorry for that. I will try to address that, but I assume changing it will then confuse anyone else who got used to the current setup.

Thank you very much for your view of it! (I mean it! I do not use rubber stamp replies.)

My best wishes
