Hi everybody,
I try to make a animation with some coins falling from the sky. So I modelled a low resolution coin and set it up for physics.
But when the coins hit the ground, they begin with a strange movement and kind of float up and down.
Any idea what could be the problem?
I attached the blend file, so you can take a look at it.
Thank you very mutch!

That’s simple: You just need to apply the scale to everything. In Object mode: [CTRL A] --> Scale.
Of course, it won’t work because your coins are linked copies. So…
Select all the coins. [U] --> Object & Data
[CTRL A] --> Scale
[SHIFT RMB] on one of the coins without physics to make it “active”. It should now be highlighted in brighter orange.
[CTRL L] --> Object Data.
Don’t forget to apply the scale to the floor too.
Now, it will work.
After playing around with it a bit, it also seems to help a little if they aren’t all capped with n-gons. Before you make them all single-user (Kaluura’s first step), fix that.
Or after. I totally skipped the explanations but, after all I do, the coins are linked copies again. Editing one modifies all of them.
Oh yeah, I didn’t pay attention to your last step.
