Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Obi Rope and I'm struggling with something that I hope someone has come across before.
I have my rope (which is actually an electrical cable) and the end control point is attached to a mesh of a 'plug'. The end control point is just inside the plug mesh, and everything works, when I move the plug the cable is dragged with it. However the cable rotates at the end point which clearly doesn't look natural.
What I need to do is have the first part of the cable, say 5cm (in a real world example), that sticks out from the back of the plug which is completely rigid (and follows the same orientation of the plug mesh). Then I would need the cable to bend after that 5cm.
I'm assuming that I need to create a second control point 5cm along the cable. I have experimented with attaching both these points to the plug mesh (Obi Particle Attachment) but I cant seem to get it to work. Am I on the right lines?
I have added an image as a file attachment in the hopes of making my poor explanation clearer.
cheers and thanks in advance
Ian
