[ODE] Why do my pyramid of boxes tremble ?

[Jon Watte]

Do you create at least 3 (preferrably 4) contacts for each body pair? You should.

Do you use a fixed time step? You should.

Do you add tiny counter-forces to dampen each body's linear and angular velocities each frame? (search this list for DampenBody() which I posted last week for an example). You should.

Cheers,

Hi,

I let go down some boxes from the sky and they stack
but they tremble and finally explode untill they are
each on floor ?

Thanks in advance
