We propose a position‐based approach for large‐scale simulations of rigid bodies at interactive frame rates. Our method solves positional constraints between rigid bodies and can therefore be seamlessly integrated into other position‐based methods. Interaction of particles and rigid bodies through common constraints enables two‐way coupling with deformables. The method exhibits exceptional performance and stability while being user controllable and easy to implement. Various results demonstrate the practicability of our method for the resolution of collisions, contacts, stacking and joint constraints. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
