Hi,

Spline with sweap, falling in floor…?

I tried but it snot colliding with floor and not bending.

Example:

Thanks.

Hi Imran,

The Spline Dynamic will not work with the Dynamic Tag. It needs to be Hair-Collider. Not sure that you will get the pasta effect with this.

The example on Twitter uses the plugin on Git Hub: HoRope.
Which works, when you made it editable and drag the controls below the collider surface. It doesn’t create a dynamic spline, it is more like a Dynamic Link/Object combination. However, I’m not aware of this, and can’t really suggest it, as I never used it in production. Test it wisely.

The Margin in conjunction with the SoftBody might work nicely with a spline only.

It reminded me on a set up like this CV-Tool:

This is very close to this idea as well; I would suggest to check out this presentation:

Chris uses here the Softbody Dynamics.

All the best

Yes… Thanks.
I will see and try that.

Regards.

Thanks, Imran, for the reply.

If the Capsules are chosen wisely in the plugin, the effect can be quite pleasing.

I have tried other ways, but I ended up with a hundred single setups or slowing my computer down to nothing.
It is quite a complex calculation, even if it looks as simple as a plate with noodles.

My best wishes for your project.

P.S.:

Here is a quick example of the plugin from above:

Imran,

Here is an example setup with the CV-Dynamic Connecter. I found, with the initial helix as a starting point, that it works best when made editable.
Then used in a new Cloner to have the single noodle multiplied.

This is then cached. (Needless to say that the cube served as collider)
The Cloner goes into a Matrix object (Axis!) and allows so to work in a Tracer.

The Tracer connects then all objects that form the noodles, which are a lot. The problem is, of course, that the Tracer does precisely this: Connects ALL objects.

For the Noodles, we need the clones for each noodle as a single Spline.

With the creation of a single Spline with the number of points that are equal to the sub-dynamic objects that built a single noodle, we have a starting point.

This single Spline is then Cloned in the same amount, the Cloner is made editable, and all the Splines are then: Connect+Delete[d].

This gives us a Spline with segments. With a little trick, via MoSpline, the Tracer can be transferred to this Multi-Segment-Spline.

From there is needs a Sweep and a profile.

I have cached the scene, so it should work reasonably fast.

It needs some refinements, but in a nutshell , it works that way:
Scene-file, screen capture
