attach a balloon string to a balloon one end and a cardboard tag the other?

The spline dynamics system isn’t that sophisticated, unfortunately. But you could attach the cardboard to the spline with Xpresso.

Thanks for the answer!

I haven’t yet used espresso, would you have any idea how I’d go about this?

Thanks Adam!

Here’s a real basic example: 9442_balloonsign.c4d.zip

You’d need to do a little more work to add rotation to the card. One way to do that would be to attack a null further up the string using the same method and then use an aim constraint on the card to look at the null.

Ah ok I looked at the file and that’s great, problem solved!

Thanks and much appreciated you’ve saved me on a deadline 🙂
