I know you can do this in Blender Game, but is there anyway to have a ball rotate as if it were rolling in Blender Cycles?

  1. As a test create a plank from a cube and place a sphere above the plank as in the image.

  2. Select the Sphere

  3. In the Tools click the Physics tab and click Add Active button while the sphere is selected, see below

  1. Select the plank.


  2. In the Physics tab click Add Passive button, while the plank is selected, see below



enter image description here




  1. Switch to Cycles Render and add any material you wish to the plank and the ball to see the ball rolling.

  2. Click the play button and you will see the ball dropping on the plank and start rolling down.


Make sure the plank is steep enough, otherwise it may not roll.



See result below.

    UV, perfectly good answer.. but why step 6? The renderer doesn't matter to this stage of the process...

Ĉi tiu artikolo temas pri mitologio. Por aliaj signifoj vidu la paĝon Tantalo (apartigilo) . Tantalo , laŭ Gioacchino Assereto. Laŭ la helena mitologio, Tantalo (el la greka Τάνταλος , ŝancelanta aŭ tre malfeliĉa ) estis filo de Zeŭso kaj la oceanidino Pluto, laŭ la plej divastigata versio. Li estis reĝo de Frigio [1] aŭ de la monto Sipilo, en Lidio (Malgrandazio) [2] kaj post sia morto li suferis eternan torturadon ĉe la Tartaro, la plej profunda parto de Hadeso, rezervita por la plej perversaj homoj. Tamen, kelkaj rakontoj asertas ke li estis reĝo de Argo aŭ de Korinto [3] , aŭ ke li migris norden el la monto Sipilo por akiri la tronon de Paflagonio, el kie Ilo forpelis lin pro tio, ke Tantalo forkaptis kaj seksperfortis lian fraton Ganimedon [4] , kaj tiel ofendis la diojn. Verŝajne li ankaŭ regis urbon en okcidenta Anatolio, kiun oni nomis Tantalis [5] pro li, aŭ Sipilo , pro la monto sur kies flanko ankoraŭ staras ĝiaj ruinaĵoj [6] . Laŭ la geografiisto Strabo,...
