I can definitely do that @theluthier! I just need to re-read @spikeyxxx explanation above another 10 times so I can wrap my head around it before I pass on my bad habits using the curve modifier lol. Once I get it set up properly then I can do a nice little recording. I probably won’t re-make the entire zip tie but I can go over using the 3 pieces to get a decent looking final result that moves and behaves quite nicely.
I’ll make that my project for this week.
On a sadder note: my initial rigging has fallen behind from all of my additional modeling changes. It served it’s purpose but I am really itching to re-rig everything proper once the model is complete. And this time using bones would be in order. I don’t want to do that until you say everything is complete on our modeling side with our assemblies though. My only hang-up is the hydraulic hoses will need to dynamically bend when the assembly. Is there a good resource for me to go learn where I can figure this part out?
