Chains Project File Free Download for Knights

Hi Friends,

Chains Project-File

A project-file, where i tested a rigidbody setup with chains. ( I used C4D 2024) To make the simulation more rich, you can just duplicate the Null-Object "1" multiple times and put them close behind each other. But be careful: Depending on your system, a certain amount can be too much. I went with 11 copies, for example.

Enough about Ropes. Its Time for Chains.

In case your not a big fan of C4D ropes, maybe this upcoming lesson with chains can warm your heart.

Some Results created with the "Rope Dynamics Testfile"

Next one will be more cool, ok? ;-).
