  j3d.examples.particles.influences.Shape3DInfluence
      j3d.examples.particles.influences.BounceShape

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExternalInfluenceInterface

public class BounceShape
extends Shape3DInfluence
implements ExternalInfluenceInterface

A simulation of Newton�s Law of Restitution for Instantaneous Collisions. Assumes a mostly elastic impulse collision between the "ground" and the particle based on the coefficient of restitution in the world Y coordinate system. Also assumes a simple friction model to slow down the particle in the world X and Z planes.
