Is it posible to have a Ball fall onto a ramp roll down and splash into the water then float.?????

I get the ball falling with gravity, and attach an emmiter to cause the splash in the pond, but the ball just falls forever. When i make it floatable or a boat the gravity is gone and it does not fall.

Is this posible, i've been working on it for some time.

Thanks

Another quick question, with a boat floating how do you stop the water inside the boat, and can the water splash against it.

Thanks again. user added image

ill start with the last q

i dont know of a way to get rid of the water in the boat an im not sure if there is a way too either
u will have to do ur best to cover it up
to create the 'splash' i think there is one for create wake
parent this to the boat and weak its settings
u will have to use particles for the spray

now is the shot in ur first q a single continous shot if not just use 2 balls and render one rolling and the other floating

there porbably is a way to make do bot but im not sure at the mo
i will look into it as dynamics interests me too

Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here
