Updated image: Newton’s Cradle
By Tim Hards | January 17, 2008
One of the images in the Perspector Library is Newton’s Cradle. You can read about Newton’s Cradle in this Wikipedia article.
A Perspector user pointed out to us that our version of Newton’s Cradle was incorrect as each ball was suspended on one string instead of two:
We have now corrected the image in the library to use two strings per ball:
To update your Perspector Library to get the latest image, open the Library and click Update library images. This applies to Perspector 3 and Perspector 4.
Don’t forget that all Perspector images are fully editable in 3D, so you can modify the images however you want. For example:

Thankyou again. It’s good to see that people who have really brilliant skills are also humble and accept constructive feedback – then make the changes. THANK YOU.

Thanks Tertia! Good to hear from you, and thanks for the complement.
We are always eager to receive feedback from users, and act on it, as this really helps us improve Perspector for everyone.
Leon Conrad is the user who pointed out the problem with this image (thanks for letting me use your name Leon). Leon has also provided some excellent feedback about Perspector itself. Some of his comments have already gone into improving the next version of Perspector, to the benefit of all future users. Thank you Leon.
This is a good opportunity to make another call for feedback:
If you, Tertia, or YOU!, reader of this blog, have any problems or suggestions about Perspector, please get in touch. You can contact me directly – see http://perspectorinsider.com/contact/ – or leave a comment here.
Thank you Tertia for leaving your message.

That’s fancy software, and wasn’t aware of this plug-in. Is everything in Perspector 3D, or is this cradle an example of 3D animation?
If not, perhaps with stronger architecture in the years ahead your graphics will be interactive with the presenter and animated.

Hi Ann! Thank you very much for your comment. Sorry it took me 10 days to approve it (story of my life – always playing catch-up…)
The Perspector Library is full of 3D images you can edit using Perspector, including this Newton’s Cradle image. All of the images in the library are in Perspector’s 3D format, and none of them are animated.
Basic rotation can be added within Perspector, but it will be a while before we have complex animation capabilities. Our priority till now has been on bringing 3D capabilities to PowerPoint.
Have you tried the free trial yet? How did you get on?

There are still people who really like this and hope there will be more.

Hi Tim – Thanks for sharing the correct Newton’s Cradle image. I’ve also seen this similar image somewhere and it’s also suspended in 2 strings per ball. It’s good to know that you’re open to any corrections. Most people get offended when they’re corrected. Keep up the good work!
