Yes I got it working!

And the repositioning is because I want to make another version/composition of the same concept. So then with the ribbons’ initial position mirrored…

Been working with this for a while now and just finished the first version of a sculpture using this sim (see image).

Now I’m trying to reposition the geometry to mirror my first version. But when I do that they start to misbehave (se screenshot – some ribbons remain totally stiff in the first bit for some reason). Seems there still some hidden…

Yes cloth seems a way more stable method. Thanks! 🙏

I’m getting some weird artefacts which I can’t seem to fix…

Amazing! Disabling banking did the trick. And on the other issue (me basically wanting more torque movement) you were also right I think – adjusting the frequency of the turbulence already seems to give me better results. I’m going to work a bit further on this, but I think this is what I was looking for. Thank you so much again!

I’ve given new shape to this little project. Literally. So from round shaped ropes I went to rectangle shaped ribbons. Sort of. Now the big difference is that now the rotation on it’s own axis is visible. And here are two factors which I cannot get working the way I want them to;

1.

The base of the rope – where the connector tag fixes it to the…

I downloaded a newer version and now it works perfectly 👍

Thanks!!!

hmmm. rebuild the whole thing, but no change.

I’m working in 2023.01 on a mac. what version are you working in?

strange. mine is still not working… before making it editable wasn’t necessary, but now it was. so made it editable, then for some reason had to pull down some connections in the connector. then it worked as before. but not as desired…

Hi Kouraib,

The behaviour of your screen-recording is exactly what I’m looking for. Somehow my version is not working though. I can’t figure out the difference between your version and mine. Can you by any chance? Or would it be possible to share your file with me here?

Dear Kouraib,

Thank you so much for your reply. Though I’m thinking perhaps my question wasn’t formulated clear enough. Have you checked out the file-link I added? Underneath an upload to creativecow as well…

The simulation is working well. It seems the method you use is slightly different, but both working pretty much the same I think.

My issue is…

Hi there. I’m trying to have a rope attached to an object horizontally and then dangling down. But I can’t figure out how to give the rope material some stiffness, so it doesn’t fall straight down but more bending down. Any one an idea?

Hi there. A while ago I payed someone to make me a 3d design from an existing image. But now I want to try to print it and see what it looks like, but the design is a hollow shape of an extreme amount of polygons. Does anyone know a trick to make this into a solid by somehow?
