I’m trying to achive the magnus effect applied in a ball without simulating air physics.
It doesn’t need to be 100% scientifically accurate, I just want an approximate result.
Shortly, what i need is the vector direction information.
From my research, this vector should be:
**-Perpendicular to the initial direction of the ball **
-Perpendicular to the axis of rotation
-Pointing towards the direction of the ball rotation
I’m having trouble computing this last point in my head.
I made a simple video to explain to my coleague, the vector we need is labeled as “Magnus”.
Thank you!
