  connecting an object to a spline

  Posted by Toby Petersen on April 20, 2011 at 10:44 pm

  I am currently trying to animate a wrecking ball and interested in the easiest way to achieve the most natural look. The spline will be used for the chain but I’m wondering if there is a way to connect the spline to the crane and to the ball as well so that when the crane swings, the chain and wrecking ball will follow naturally.

  Anyone got a useful tutorial or solution
