Title: Tippe Top Animation
Post by: haversin on August 30, 2020, 04:47:19 PM

This Blender tippe top animation displays motion at 1/33 real time. The location – rotation keyframes were generated by a 6dof tippe top simulation coded in Python.
This simulation includes:

Full 6dof equations of motion.

Stem contact dynamics.

Modified Coulomb friction.

Coefficient of restitution applied to landing force impulse.

That's spectacular; thanks for sharing. Yay for modeling equations of motion, including the subtle forces that matter.  And attention to production values for a lovely rendering.

Reminds me of the the microgravity wingnut-spin phenomenon that recently got lots of online viewing.

Follow up Blender tippe top animation showing the top's motion in real time with Eevee motion Blur. As before the location rotation keyframes were generated with a 6dof tippe top simulation coded in Python.
