simple wire solve question

Hi,

I've got a bunch of curve stuck onto a surface that moves around pretty quick.

I'm then running a wire solve on these curves.

What I'm trying to do is have the dop curves follow the sop curves and not become dynamic until they

are hit by a collision object.

Reason I'm doing this is I don't want to effect the groom of the curves, I just want to add collision interaction.

I tried increasing the "angular spring constant" (which forces the dops curves to follow the sops curves much better) but

it messes with the collisions (because curves are too stiff).

Can anyone shed some light on how to solve this? Is there a better way?

Thanks

Well before you go into DOPS you can create an attribute which holds the kangular value.

This way you can control your angular force on a per point basis.

There are actually several attributes you can define before going into DOPS. (Wire object attributes)

I used the same technique in a test for the ammo wire on a gun, where the angular force needed to be bigger at the constrained points.

After creating the attribute, I also went into vops and attached it to a ramp for more control before going into DOPS.
