Physics of a soccer ball.

Post by jimcroft »

Hello everyone! I wish to implement a physics engine in my project which involves a soccer ball physics - bouncing on the ground hitting the net (cloth physics). I am new to physics programming and from whatever I have been reading, it looks like it will be very complicated task to achieve as it involves understanding rigid body physics. Can anyone please suggest me a good resource, may be some books, articles or demos especially dedicated to what I want to achieve? Thanks for your time.

There's not too much that i'm aware of dedicated specifically to bouncing ball physics. However, when all else fails, start with the basics

If you know exsactly how balls bounce, its easier to simulate it.

Did you (or anybody else) manage to do it? Would you mind sharing on the forum how you did it?
