Center of Mass

A character with a center of mass (represented as a blue cross)

A center of mass is a unique point that characterizes movement of an object (or a group of objects) as a whole. When a linear force is applied to the center of mass, it causes linear acceleration without angular acceleration.

In Cascadeur, center of mass plays an important role, as physics tools can only be applied to an object or a character with a center of mass.

These tools include:

• Ballistic Trajectories and Ballistic ghosts
• Fulcrum Points
• Angular Momentum visualizer
• Fulcrum Forces visualizer
