Hi All I need to create a realistic hockey net tat can sway about freely… But im looking to create not with texture but with actual polygons or nurbs… Is there a favorite or fast way? Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi Ben,

I have created a minimal model for a net, so I can place it in a cloner. (My intention was here a simple sketch!)

Then I have used a plane for the simulation of the net, when it comes in contact with the puck (though pucks are fast, not certain if that will work without care). I cached it.

The Net is based on MoGraph, I made a copy and connected all.

With the Surface Deformer, I “transferred” the Cloth simulation of the Plane to the MoGraph-Net.

That is in a nutshell all.

(BTW, with these interactive stuff, puck and net, I remember several years ago a similar question, perhaps first to get the puck move the net, and then when the net is cached animated the puck, more or less based on the net as collider)

Good luck with it.

Thats pretty sweet! How did you get the diamond pattern??

Ben, you have it already ;o) Have a look into the Layers tab, set the layer to visible etc.

It is a very “rough” version of it, but you might see how simple you can hide the end points in the “knots”. Perhaps a little bit more care would have been nice (from my side), but for the sketch version, that was sufficient. A Subdivision Surface [HyperNURBS] will work wonders on it ;o)

All the best

Perfect! Thanks so much Good Dr!

You’re welcome, Ben. :o)
