[Bf-committers] Some Some doubt and ideas

[Sergej Reich]

In the case of the rigid body simulation we actually already simplify
things.
We cannot really avoid having active and passive objects, since knowing
that an object won't be simulated dynamically allows for optimizations
that improve performance and stability.

As for "Collisions", in many ways rigid bodies are more part of the
animation system than the other simulations. So when you want to combine
them with the other simulations you have to treat them like animated
objects and add a collision modifier if you want them to collide.

The way this works right now is unfortunate. There are different ways we
could try to integrate the different simulations together, all of which
require bigger changes.

Regards, Sergej.
