help with shoce lace animation! PLEASE!

#1

Hello,
I am trying to animate a tennis shoe. Which is the easiest way of making the shoe lace move along with the steps? I would like it to swing while the person walks.

Is there any way that someone could help me please?

Dynamic spline IK. essentially, each lace would have a chain of joints running through them. the joints would be constrained to a curve, and the curve would be deformed by a hair follicle. the hair follicle of course providing the dynamic simulation for the lace.

it’s all in the manual

or you could just build a joint chain in each lace, and hand-key animate the laces overlapping and following through in the footsteps.
