  Hanging Rope

  Posted by Glenn Takakjian on April 4, 2006 at 5:11 pm

  If I have a B-Spline or Akima… 3 points… Creating a rope. I move the two end points closer to each other and then further away. The rope “hangs” down in the middle between the two points.

  Is there a way to restrict the “length” of the rope so that the “hang” adjusts depending on how close or far the end points are.

  I can animate the mid point but I would love to be able to have real physics come into play here.

  I hope I have explained this clearly.

  Thanks

  TAK

  Why don’t you use Soft IK with Dynamics enabled and this, if I understand what your looking for, should give you fairly realistic results. I used the same idea to create a full hair simulation.

  DPIT Nature Spirit (https://www.dpit2.de) has spline dynamics that are set up in some seconds. It
