HI, ...
I'm quite new to maya and want to know, how to create a dynamic cable !!! =)
So , ... i modeld a lamp with 3 joints and want to add a cable, which moves along the geometry, and when i move one of the joints , follow the geometry !!!
A Tip was doing it with Cloth but i havn't an idea how to get a flat panel round (wrap deformation, but how exactly?).
An other idea was to put joints in the cable, smooth bind 'em and create a rigid body (passive=cable;active=lamp), ... how should i set up the joints (or IK-Handles) ?
Would be kind of you to give some advice =)
