I was attempting to simulate a bowling ball impacting a set of pins, however the pins just slide away instead of going flying like they should:
As you can see, the origins are in the correct place.
What is causing this?

Could you post your settings for the rigid bodies? I tried to rebuild your scene and it works just fine here. – Haunt_House Oct 09 '13 at 22:18

@Haunt_House I linked to my .blend, can you use that? – gandalf3 Oct 09 '13 at 22:34

I have it open right now. Sorry, my brain doesn't get much food nowadays. I tipped one of your victims 45 degrees and it's tilting veeeery slowly. so there's simulation going on, but for some reason, the rotation is extremely damped. – Haunt_House Oct 09 '13 at 22:36

@Haunt_House It looks like the origins are way off, but they aren't.. – gandalf3 Oct 09 '13 at 22:38

Did the solution work for you? – Haunt_House Oct 09 '13 at 23:14

@Haunt_House sorry, I was afk. That seems to have done it! thanks :) – gandalf3 Oct 10 '13 at 01:00

One is glad to be of service. Funny enough, if you scale objects down, they not only turn slower, but they start to become quite bouncy. They rock back and forth quite a lot before settling on the ground. – Haunt_House Oct 10 '13 at 01:05

@Haunt_House Odd. perhaps a bug? I though the new viewport bullet physics system was supposed to be able to handle scaling.. :/ – gandalf3 Oct 10 '13 at 01:11

More like a missing feature. Feel free to submit it anyway. – Haunt_House Oct 10 '13 at 01:16

Your pins are scaled to 0.144. Seems like the simulation doesn't like that. Apply the scale with CtrlA and you should be fine.

@GregZaal wouldn't that mean the mass would be 330 times smaller, so the pins would accelerate 330 times faster? F = m a and all that. – wchargin Oct 21 '13 at 03:02
