Tong Le Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I wanna animate the cord of my toaster. The cord will move around the floor and try to find the outlet to plugin itself. I come up with couple ways to do it. 1. rig my cable and hand animate it. The problem will be that the motion is not so real 2. using DOPs wire solver. 3. maybe try CHOPs to give the motion to the whole cable? Anybody has suggestions? Thanks, Joyce Edited July 21, 2010 by Tong Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wire Solver seams to be a good solution. I've tried something, it's very simple but maybe It can help... WirePlug.hipnc just animate the plug and the wire will follow. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Just blow away the channels on the plug object, hit play and have fun moving the plug around. I set the Minimum Substeps back down to 1 on the Wire Solver just for interactivity in the viewport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
