Balls rolling around a heightmap ground with physics

Liar :grinning: :wink: After a while nothing happens anymore since no new balls are throwed in :grin: :rofl:
@bigrig Very nice PG. Very helpful, I believe. There are lots of questions about physics with a heightmap and very little using anything else than the ammoJS. I think I like this :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

And here’s a picked point (snap to grid) on the heightmap. Also useful to add to the collection.

Thanks to this thread:

I believe you could move this to the ‘tutorial and tips’ category (my opinion only).
Very useful if you ask me. Thanks a lot for sharing this with the Community.
Meanwhile, have a great day :sunglasses:

I find this a very appropriate example in World Cup times! :rofl:
