This python script generates chains from selected curves, ready for animation and very fast (but realistic) dynamic simulation. You can anytime change dimensions of rings.

  • The hi-res geometry is driven only by the proxy geometry (and not by dynamics), so you must set the initial state on the proxy to make it work. There is a custom attribute in the originale curve transform to choose wich geometry is displayed: select "proxy collider" and work on it.

  • Hi arlidar,

    the chain can collide with any Nucleus object (nRigid, nCloth, nParticles), so just set the colliders as nCloth. The geometry that simulates (driving the final mesh) is inside the group "proxy collider." I suggest you read the nCloth documentation in Maya Help. The script is freeware, so you can freely use it for a commercial. I only ask to reserve the attribution right of the scipt including eventually my name (if possible).

    Thank you!
