Look at the topic “Passing SplineShape Knot Selections Up The Stack” in the MAXScript Help. It shows exactly that case.[color=white]

hi guys

i have been toying with this for a while now.

I am creating a dynamic link between particles. As thought the particles had individual strings between them. I have looked and the box2 options but am trying to do this without any plugins.

So far

I have created the animation
and baked the particles to helpers
I want to now create splines that link their anchor points to the helpers

any ideas?

thats the ticket!

interestingly enough I found this thread while working through your method, some interesting other alternative methods in here, could be of use to someone:

check out the leads.max file by Samab

he has laid all the options out in one scene.
