In particular, given a rigid body in \u211d\u00b3, we identify all possible stationary points, as well as the probability that the body will stop at these points, assuming a random initial orientation and negligible momentum. The forward version of our method can hence be used to automatically orient models, to provide feedback about object stability during the design process, and to furnish plausible distributions of shape orientation for natural scene modeling. Moreover, a differentiable inverse version of our method lets us design shapes with target resting behavior, such as dice with target, nonuniform probabilities. Here we find solutions that would be nearly impossible to find using classical techniques, such as dice with additional unstable faces that provide more natural overall geometry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/~kmcrane\/\">Putting Rigid Bodies to Rest<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"postinfo\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"postmeta\">Posted by christopherbatty on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physicsbasedanimation.com\/2025\/05\/26\/putting-rigid-bodies-to-rest\/\">May 26th, 2025<\/a> <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"postcats\">Posted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.physicsbasedanimation.com\/category\/uncategorized\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Uncategorized<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"posttags\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<!--\n\t\t\t\t<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/02\/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\"\n\t\t\txmlns:dc=\"http:\/\/purl.org\/dc\/elements\/1.1\/\"\n\t\t\txmlns:trackback=\"http:\/\/madskills.com\/public\/xml\/rss\/module\/trackback\/\">\n\t\t<rdf:Description rdf:about=\"https:\/\/www.physicsbasedanimation.com\/2025\/05\/26\/putting-rigid-bodies-to-rest\/\"\n    dc:identifier=\"https:\/\/www.physicsbasedanimation.com\/2025\/05\/26\/putting-rigid-bodies-to-rest\/\"\n    dc:title=\"Putting Rigid Bodies to Rest\"\n    trackback:ping=\"https:\/\/www.physicsbasedanimation.com\/2025\/05\/26\/putting-rigid-bodies-to-rest\/trackback\/\" \/>\n<\/rdf:RDF>\t\t\t-->\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hossein Baktash, Nicholas Sharp, Qingnan Zhou, Keenan Crane, Alec Jacobson This paper explores the analysis and design of the resting configurations of a rigid body, without the use of physical simulation.
