:Type: Generic Spring
|
|
|
|
The generic spring constraint adds some spring parameters for the X/Y/Z axes
|
|
to all the options available on the Generic constraint.
|
|
Using the spring alone allows the objects to bounce around as if attached
|
|
with a spring anchored at the constraint object.
|
|
This is usually a little too much freedom,
|
|
so most applications will benefit from enabling translation or rotation constraints.
|
|
|
|
If the damping on the springs is set to 1, then the spring forces are prevented from realigning the anchor points,
|
|
leading to strange behavior. If your springs are acting weird, check the damping.
