Making Ends Animatable

Date:05/08/2010
Submitted by:gvarettas gvarettas
Hi, I'm looking for a method of dynamically rigging a tube that runs from an oxygen mask to the oxygen tank.
 
In the description it says this provides a method to make both ends animatable, however i cant for the life of me seem to find how i'd do that with your plug in. Any chance you could help me out? I'm probably missing something blatantly obvious but any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Thanks

    Hi! It's acutally pretty simple, just do the following steps. 1) draw a curve between your mask and the tank 2) run the hole script or source it 3) run cableGuy() 4) select the curve 5) press "create cable" (cableguyUI) 6) select the new cable geo only 7) press "make dynamic" (hi) 8) select the cable geo 9) press "make ends animatable" 10) control the ends and dynamics with the parameters on the cable geometry (transform) let me know if you got any problems! cheers, seb.
