this Demo 95kbA very simple example of a pinball table setup. In this case, all motion of the ball is handled automatically by the Havok system. The table was designed in max and a description of how this was done may be found in the pinball tutorial. Gravtiy has been altered so that the ball has a tendancy to roll to the bottom of the table (rather that rotating the entire table, which would have produced the same effect). The bumpers in the center are attached via weak dashpots to allow them to move slightly on contact; their restitution has been set great than 1 so that the ball gets energy on contact and shoots off faster than when it hit originally. You'll notice we didn't spend much time modeling the table!
