Attach cloth sim to wire sim


Recommended Posts

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.

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.
