Hi,
I would need a little help in finding an approach for
ropes dangling in the wind (takelage of a sailing boat during a storm)

What could be the easiest approach :
splines with wind effector?

What would I have to do, to get the splines reacting ?

Thanks
Holger

Hi

If you have the Hair module i would do it with Spline Dynamics/ Hair Collider.

if you have DPIT it would be dynamics tag with with wind particle modifier (or fluid modifier for realistic air).

Thanks

how to create the dynamics tag is either in the 3.1 manual or in the dpit tutorial forum Jeso posted a video. Assigning particle forces is simply done by drag & drop into the forces field of the dynamics tag.
