rigid body and gravity problems

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to create an old fashioned bingo wheel with bingo balls rolling inside, I wanted the balls for move freely so tried to use active and passive rigid bodies and gravity but the balls fall through the wheel when the wheel has a passive rigid body. Is there anyway round this, or an alternative was of doing this?

Hi @Anonymous!

Would it be possible to share your scene file with me, so that I can take a look at it?

If the file is to big for the  forum or you don't want to share it publicly, seend me a private message and I will create a private shared folder for you.

Hi!

Sure here it is- I have since removed the rigid bodies as it keeps causing Maya to crash...

To get around this I ended up using nCloth and passive colliders rather than rigid bodies.

Hi @Anonymous!

I believe that the cause of the issue is not the use of rigid bodies, because the scene you sent me worked perfectly on my computer, without adding or removing anything.

I would rather suppose that some corrupted preferences on your machine trigger a crash when rigid bodies are used.
