Dampening, Stiffness and Pin groups

[RathalosArt]

Hello, I have a couple of questions

Dampening:
Is there a way to make a solid object get to a rest pose faster?

Like if I have a ball and put it above the floor, when running the simulation the ball will keep bouncing for a long time.

Is there any way to apply dampening?
So that the object comes to a rest faster.

Stiffness:
Can i set part of a mesh to be more stiff than the rest?

Pinning:
When using a vertex group for pinning, does the solver say "Yep that vertex is in the pin group" or does it respect the weight value of the vertex too?

For example:
One vertex has the value of 1, the next a value of 0.5 and the last one at 0

Will the solver pin vertex 1 at full strenght and vertex 2 at half or will both pins be fully pinned?

Hopefully this can be controlled via Rayleigh damping #63 which will be available in the next coming release.

Stiffness:

This is pending request #48

Pinning:

I don't get this part. We don't have a weight value for pins. A vertex is either in the pin group or it isn't.

Thank you for all the answers!

Regarding the pins.
I figured as much.
Maybe i should make a feature request about that then, because it would be useful if i want something to have a little bit of pin but not 100%

Though now that i think about it, that could be done with Stiffness too i think
