Sticking wire to collision object

[Alan Monroig]

Hello!

I am trying to do some drool with wires, I would like the wires to stick to the first object it collides with (like saliva). Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sounds cool, to answer your question directly, you could measure distance to collision object with xyzdist, below a certain distance you could then switch its position data to then always stick on the object you found within the distance. To do this, use primuv, and track the location found from xyzdist, and keep your current position to match that parametric uv of the object from when it was within range.

As a general comment, I found grains in the past to be awesome for sticky high detail saliva fx!

Thanks for the response! I lost my hopes when nobody was helping me. I will try that out. And also the grains alternative, sounds like a good option. 

Cheers!
