hi..

I have a sphere and like 50 splines. What i want is that when the sphere approaces the splines the splines bend and get out from its way. Should this be done with expresso or in what way? Dynamics? Any example files?

I have attached an image, check it

Thanks dudes

Hi,
dynamics should be up to the task.
You can but Softbody springs to splines and then use negative gravity fields to push them away.
Put a spherical gravity field in the sphere and away you go.
Hope this helps

Thanks Srek for the anwser. but when i setup the softbody tag to the spline and add Gravity, the spline starts falling. so my question is, how can i set that some of the points of the spline arent affected by the gravity and stay in place?

Thanks, if someone has a example file on this, that would be great

thanks again

Hi,
just set the topmost point of the spline to a mass of 0. This will fix the point so it is not affected by Dynamics.
