what would the solution be for spline dynamics?

[Brian]

Hey guys,

I may have a project coming up where I'll need some cables animated and I would prefer them to not morph by interact with a physics engine. Is there a way to do this in EI with the new bullet time?

Thanks,

Brian

Did you ever look at Cablecraft by Northernlights? It is an older pluggin.

[Brian]

Yeah, I was hoping there was a way to do it without a plugin but that would probably do the trick. Thanks!

Are they still selling their plugins?

Would it be compatible in v8/9? anybody have it? Because, I would have to render the animation in v8/9.

Ola Brian!

Here the Cable Craft samples and render using EIAS 9:

Here a project done with Bones and Bullet using the 2 Animator Skin engines, the older skin engine can make a tube more fluid.

Hope that helps!

Thanks
