dForce include-exclude objects

Reality Hack

Is there a way to simulate only some of the objects in a scene? For example: say I have a scene with two figures, but I only want to simulate figure 1. Figure 2 would need to be involved in the collisions, but I only want figure 1 to actually be simulated.

Or do I basically have to go through the trouble of animating a scene, and animate figure 1, but leave figure 2 static?

Thanks in advance.

Hello there, 

you can always 'freeze simulation' on objects that you either do not want to simulate or that are already simulated. 

Alternatively, when clickin on the dropdown menu on the top right in the simulation tab, there is a 'Simulate Selected' option that should only simulate the item you have currently selected in the scene tab. 

Hope this helps!

You need to select not just the things you want to behave dynamically but also anything you want them to collide with.
