Where collision gives you mass, gravity gives you weight. As such, you (as the collision volume) will be pulled downwards whilst walking through the scene. NOTE Gravity can only be used in walk navigation mode, and with the Walk tool for SteeringWheels. This allows you to walk down stairs, for example, or follow terrain. 162 | Chapter 6 Explore Your Model
