use morph to control speed of texture, used ball falling simulation
to get rate of gravity. dynamics has option to save keyframes
in command drop down in edit section. save to a motion file
and read into modeler by using motion path extrude, morph
object to this for gravity like acceleration in the texture.
linear falloff in morph modeling doesn't create true
acceleration(looks good but may not match the motion a falling
object in the scene
