Default Gravity confuses me - stevenls - 08-12-2021
Hey there,
I have a 23 story building built close to scale in Max, so it's just under 60m tall and about 18m wide.. like a tall apartment block. I have a couple of spheres hitting it at various places, fracturing and then the peices fall down etc.
What I am finding though is there seem to fly out to far before they drop like they are just too light. The do drop but it's just waaaay to exaggerated and I am not sure what to tweak.
The gravity is left at the default of -1cm (my scene is 1unit = 1cm). Should I be tweaking that or is there somewhere that tucked away in the physx settings that I should be altering the mass of the objects that are generated with the impact.
Thanks
S.

You can click the arrow menu next to the gravity spinner to set it to a real-world value.

Hey there,
I clicked the down arrow, clicked 'Real world value' then it changed automatically to -1.633cm? Should I leave it at that, is that tyflow calculating real world gravity based on the scene settings?

That's a real-world (-9.8m/s/s) setting in scene units. It'll only be accurate in your scene if you've modeled things to scale.
