Bake jiggle to spline (making dynamic barbed wire ring)
Hi!
I have a (hopefully) very problem that I can’t wrap by head around.. i want to create a barbed-wire ring that deforms fluidly from a jiggle.I’m attaching a file of my work. The wire is made by a circle spline and Reeper 2.0 plugin. The barbs are spline sweeps with Align To Spline tag. When the deformer is applied, the barbs remain pinned to the original circle spline.
The jiggle needs to by baked to the spline? Or the splines needs PLA? I’ve been messing around w some tips from forums/youtube, but remain flummoxed :/
Please check out the attached file or fire over some helpful tips! Thanks a ton for your help ☺

you can use a MoSpline to reference the spline with jiggle and then attach the barbs to that.

Thanks, Brian! That gets me closer to my goal, but I’m running into some problems with the barbs sliding around. Ideally I was hoping they could get clamped onto the point where the two wire meet, instead of at a % of the mospline. Please have a look here: https://imgur.com/h5CUJV2
Hope this makes sense ☺
Thanks again.. -
the crossing points are a function of Reeper settings and are only visible from one angle usually. Look at a narrow point from the top then spin around it in the viewport and from the side it’s full width but now there are new narrow points visible from the side. Since the ‘crossings’ are really viewpoint relative maybe you have to make the barbs ‘big enough’. I assume you want them tight though so I don’t know.
