(MAYA 2020, nCloth) Make the tubes stick to the cubes on both ends

stefarny · Mar 2020

Hey guys

I was experimenting with nCloth in Maya because I want to make the tube react naturally to the movements of the two cubes. However, the other end of the tube (ending in the smaller cube) does not stick to the surface of the cube. Do you guys know what settings I need to use in order to make the tube stick to the surface?

Thank you very much in advance for your help - I appreciate it a lot! Have a nice evening

Been a while since I've done cloth. I think this is what you need. Or a nCloth Transform constraint using a locator instead of polygons.

I'd go with dynamic curve.

something like this. There's different ways to get the same result.
