Stiff for a bit?

Add a few control points between 0 and 0.25f, and attach them. This will prevent the rope from bending until 0.25f. This technique is used in the "RopeShowcase" sample scene, to make the ropes on the left wall come out at a 90ยบ degree angle.

This works because of basic math: there's infinite lines that pass trough one point in space, but only one line that passes trough 2. So if you attach a beam at a single point, it will freely rotate around that point, but attaching it to 2 or more points constrains its rotation. Same for a rope.

Note this is only necessary with ropes. Rods model orientation and torsion, so you can constrain their orientation with a single attached control point.

hope this is what you were looking for! let me know if I can be of further help.

kind regards


Great, will look into!
Thank you!
