3DSMax Reactor Point to Point constraint - Mace Weapon

This animation was a test to see how to make a chain with a heavy object. At first the spiked ball would come apart from the chain when the simulation was run (I guess due to force) so to overcome this I used a point to point constraint on each chain link.

Hi, I am looking for videos of chains for a video montage I am making. Please can I use this one? I will give credit in the end. Thanks!

That would be a flail, not a mace.

I've been wanting to animate a chain, much like you did. Can you help me, or suggest a tutorial on animating a chain?

Fantastic animation
