Hello
I feel like this is an obvious one, but I can’t seem to find the answer.  I have some spline with spline dynamics pinned to some objects, and I have some clones falling on these splines.  The clones have a rigid body tag and the splines have a spline dynamics tag.
I’ve added a spline collision tag to the cloner, and I feel I see some “influence” from the clones as they fall on the splines, but not much…
What is the correct recipe for this?

Thanks!!

Hi Alex,

Try to set the spline as SoftBody.

Example:

I would suggest this presentation:

Perhaps even go with this:

Whereby the objects are just there to collide and provide this information to a MoGraph Tracer, to produce a spline.

My best wishes for your project.

Thanks a lot Sassi, that all makes sense.  For some reason I had a vague memory that spline dynamics and rigid body/soft body dynamics could speak to each other, but these workarounds will work well.

Thanks again!

Your very welcome, Alex, thanks for the reply.

Let me know if there is anything else, I’m happy to look into it.

All the best
