Dynamic gravity for characters

I have some ideas for .

First, we have to think big. As in planetary bodies. Gravity should be treated as a force vector, proportionate to a mass ratio of a physical body (such as earth). The amount of gravitational force applied to a body is something like an inverse square law of its distance from that object (I’m sure a good physics book has a precise equation). If you have two bodies which exert gravitational forces on an object (such as the Earth and Moon), then to find the gravitational force vector applied to an object, we’d have to go through all gravitational forces, figure out the gravitational force from distance X towards the center position of each body, and come up with a sum of gravitational forces vector. force vector can then be applied as an acceleration force.

Hello, I am the developer for the Orbit and Gravity plugin, its a plugin that calculates Newtonian gravity (so gravity based on distance and an object size constant) and does orbital mechanics calculations. Someone pointed me to thread asking about if it was possible to integrate the orbit plugin with one. It turned out to be very easy, and I made a quick video showing how. It turned out to be a pretty cool effect I think. Video is below…
