Eric2575 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 How about putting a length of bones in the part of the rope you want to knot? Once you assigned the bones, create a new action or pose and make the knot. I did that with some chain and had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuchur Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 You should use the Sweeper-Plugin instead of the Duplicator-Plugin for this... it is integrated in A:M since v13 if I am not wrong. But the bone-solution is very good too... more flexible... *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted September 15, 2007 Admin Share Posted September 15, 2007 I agree with Fuchur here. Sweeper is what you are after. The Duplicator Wizard is great for instances where you can plot trajectories via pitch, roll etc. Sweeper can be used to do the same thing but follow along a spline path of your choosing. If you already have the rope Eric's suggestion is a great one. This would allow you to animate it too if that is ever needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
