What different ways are there to model restitution in a physics engine?
- by Mikael Högström
In my physics engine I give a body a value for restitution between 0 and 1. When two bodies collide there seems to be different views on how the restitution of the collision should be calculated. To me the most intuitive seems to be to take the average of the two but some seem to take only the largest one.
Are there other ways to do it? Also, could the closing velocity or some other parameter come into effect?
