I hope someone here can help me.
I am trying to simulate dynamic hoses that are attached to a set of gauges. I am using Interactive Cloth with some success, but I have a few issues. I have attached an image showing the Gauges I am attempting to simulate.
-
The hose is a bit to flexible. Is there a way to stiffen up the cloth so it acts more like a rubber hose rather than a cloth hose?
-
The end of the hose has to have a brass connector. If I attach the brass connector to the end of the hose as a ridged body, it will stretch the hose indefinitely when gravity takes over. If I make the brass connector as part of the hose mesh, it deforms as if made of cloth.
Is there a better way of going about this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been trying to figure this out on my own for some time with not much luck.
