How do I… Twist thread

[Brian Jones]

maybe Twist deformer or https://www.codeworkers.de/garage-plugins-reeperx.html

Yeah, the twist deformer will do a nice job of twisting it simply and the reeper plugin works great for making normal rope but I need the animation of each thread being wound together.
The ends need to be quite far apart as though they are being weaved.

It doesn’t sound that hard but I can’t seem to make it work properly!
Im sure it must have been done heaps of times!

Thanks for your reply Brian.

here’s a quick test – not happy with the first twisting but it might be possible to smooth it with the falloff of the twist

Oooh! That’s pretty close! It was kinda what I was trying to do but much closer.

Thanks very much for that Brian, I appreciate it!

Cheers again,
Andrew.
