Is it possible to mix the dynamics of LW 8, like, if i had 2 "strings" (2pt polychains) attached to a box, to somehow have clothfx applied to the strings, and hardfx applied to the box, but still have the strings able to affect the box and vice versa?......i have accomplished this effect using all clothfx, but this is just to show what kind of effect im looking for. this example is only possible with a box, not with anything complex.

if u wanted to know, the way i did this in clothfx was to have the cube's 8 points 100% weighted, and i used this as the sub structure of 10,000,000. But, the nature of the sub structure will only allow this with a cube, once it gets subdivided, it cant do this anymore for complex objects.
