Physics wire simulation

Hello,

I’m trying to simulate a cable attached to a lamp, like in the movie Luxo Jr. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYfYtV_2ezs) with physics and collision responses with the ground. I’ve tried many things (like adding cloth to a vertices line, but the collision system don’t work on single vertex, I also tried to hook cubes that have physics on a path) but didn’t get anything with the ground collision responses that looks nice. Any ideas ? PS: I’ve seen that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyjE5L4-1lQ, it should be a good starting point but I can’t get the rig behind it.

Thx in advance.

this is a very good method

Yes, that’s what I told you, I’ve tried this method but the collision respons dont work with it. You can’t test collision with a vertex line and a collision block.

An other exemple there:

HOW DID THEY DO THE ROPE SIM !!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Its not rigging, its done with rigid body physics.
