Realistic Friction Rigid Bodies

I am trying to do a “satisfying” video with physics and don’t really know much about them. My problem is I can’t figure out the right settings to make it look realistic.

Perhaps it is something to do with friction? It seems that if I change the numbers it doesn’t really affect the results. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks!

I’m not familiar with the blender rigid body system and I won’t be able to help you there. The way I would do it is by using the molecular addon. If you’re interested in knowing more about it please let me know.

Tips: I would take caution when playing around with physics and avoid using high poly or non-manifold meshes. I recommend using a proxy mesh - like I did here - and parent it to your empty. Blender physics sometimes freaks out at smaller scales too so it might be worth it to deviate away from real-world values and try a larger scale value for everything.
