Properties of Collision Shapes

The properties of a collision shape influences its physics characteristics including its sliding speed and bounciness.

Friction

Friction is the roughness of a surface which generates resistant force and causes a change in speed in objects that slide over it.

A cloth slides down the hands. (collision shapes' friction = 1.00)

The cloth slides down faster with lower friction value (= 0.00).

Elasticity

Elasticity decides the bouncing force of the collision shapes. The higher the value, the more the object bounces off when it collides with other physics objects.

The ball hardly bounces due to low Elasticity value of the collision shape.

The ball bounces more with the higher Elasticity value of the collision shape.
