pasto Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hello, I tried pretty much all constraint configurations in order to attach a cloth to a wire sim without success. Nice guys from the Houdini slack have advised me to simulate the wire then attach the cloth afterwards, but I can't find any constraint that "read" the wire points anyway. What would be the constraint nodes I need ? Should I absolutely transform the wire to polywire to get proper polygons ? To be clear I am just trying to attach a flag to a thin rope and get some realistic wind movements on both. Many thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasto Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi, In case someone is looking for this, it is quite simple, you just have to import the wire into the cloth dopnet even if you don't need any collision relationship. The constraint needs it inside the dop in order to refer to it. the point selection though can be just a group in sop. SBD constraint et SBD pin constraint are working fine, not in soft constraint mode though. SBD spring and all king of soft constraint doesn't seem to work, even with a huge strength, the constraint are not resisting to any force. Thx to Olivier Jeannel for this explanation.
