Hello,
friend of mine suggested I post here for help. I’m trying to set up a 2 point dynamic rigid body. It’s a camping tripod Grill. I got all the dynamics to work. but it’s fussy, it breaks sometimes. and I’m not sure why. I set up the dynamics with springs. But I’m not sure if I get all the settings correct in the rigid body options.

Thanks

Hi salvame

Please have a look here:

If you got this scene in the way you want. Cache all the Dynamic Tags.

Let me know if you need anything else. I’m happy to look into it.

Cheers

I think you sent me the wrong file. All I see is an Alpha’s Cube.

Sorry about this, salvame.

Please try again, I have update the file. Yes, I should have checked.

The URL was there from the last question.

Enjoy.

Thank you. but I totally understand a 3 point dynamic wire setup. but what i actually want is to also have what you made but have hanging from another dynamic wire. check out the video in my link.

P.S.: I see that the initial post has now more files.

salvame,

I would do it with two springs in total. When the main movement is done, I would cache the Dynamic, then perhaps bake anything else.

I have an example for one wire in the scene.

However, something like this would be more of an IK rig with two joints when I had this in my scene, with more control and less time to set something up. But, yes, I love to have control; dynamic always takes more control away than it gives.

All the best

thank you. great advice.

Thanks a lot, salvame, for being open to additional viewpoints.

I certainly know too little about your project to really pinpoint the best practice However, I went through several setups before I made my suggestion. (I always check newly, I do not answer from memory. This has proven to work best over the decades.)

I hope my little scene helps.

My best wishes for your project.
