Alex,
This doesn't appear to take into account the diameter of the ball?

 Subject: expressions question


 For years, when translating a sphere. I have applied an expression so that
as it moves in z space it rotates in x... thus rolling along the floor....
this is the expression I have used..

 Editing expression on: SPHERE1.kine.global.rotx

 Valid expression : SPHERE1.kine.global.posz * 36

 As I have never had to go to close up... I have never noticed that this is
actually wrong !!! and that on close inspection.. the translation of ball in
relation to the rotation is wrong.. the ball is sliding !!!

 could anyone point me in the right direction please !!!!

 Alex
