Maya 2022 - Smart dynamic cable tutorial

This is a quick but useful tutorial on how to make cables in Maya. It can be used for anything from your interior scenes to rigging a ship with ropes blowing in the wind. We work quickly with Maya’s Curve Tools and create dynamic curves with nHair. You’ll learn how to get variation among a number of cables when you need multiples rather than have to model each variant individually. We also look at how to prevent your cables from dropping through the floor. Finally, we show you how to turn a dynamic simulation into polygonal geometry in Maya and clean it up.
