3d pendulum in cinema 4d?
hey guys. this is my first post. I have a project coming up and i’d like to create a 3d model of a swinging pendulum on a rope with like a scythe attached to it ? is this possible or would you recommend me other programs. This project is related to Edgar Allen Poe’s ” the pit and the pendulum”. any help would be most appreciated. Thanks

You could get a nice result with spline dynamics.
Here is a tutorial. Its free but you need to sign up at the forum.

Its not my tutorial to give away.
I am not sure how he rigged up the one in the tutorial but here is an example I made. Its a little rough but it should get you started.
https://www.rootvisuals.com/Downloads/Swing.c4d.zipJust press play and it should go.
To adjust the aim and targets just change the constant number in the xpersso. That number corisponds to the Point number in the spline. (To see what number you want Select a point on the spline then look for the highlighted number in the structure menu (Tabbed with the object manager in the top right corner not the dropdown menu)/Randy
