Dreads and Hoses rig type?


#1

Hey guy and/or girls

I’m currently rigging two characters using 3ds max 2011 for a short film and I’ve run into two issues.

#1: This character has dreadlocks and I was wondering what I should use to rig them? I was thinking ‘IK HD solver’ but that wouldn’t give me much control plus it would make animating tedious since you can’t link the solvers to a controller (I might be wrong). I do want some control but would also be interested in a dynamic rig, if there are any good plugins out there that i should know about. If you guys have any ideas, tutorial or threads I’m all ears!

#2: This character has tubes coming out of his back an into his forearms similar to the ‘chimera’ from ‘resistance fall of man’ game. Any ideas?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
