hello there been trying to rig up some wires one of my projects and i have two problems that i cant work out with my very limeted knowledge of maya.
what i have done is this i first made a joint chain, and then a curve made bu holding down v to get the middle of my joints.the curve is then made dynamic, and is then used as the curve for a spline ik handle. ok so far none of that a problemi have then added a nurbs surface as the wire itself and smoth binded it to the joint chain. and it all moves and does as it should,but there are 48 seperate wires all done exacly the same way . but now i have hit 2 problems, 1st i have no idear how to set it up so that the wires colide with each other, 2nd one of the wires has folicles at both ends so that the middle is hanging down, this wire is supposed to be attached to a head i can do that no problems, but i have no way i getting the tip to stay attached to the head, i move the head and the base stays attached to the head but the tip goes all oer the place.
been trying to work this out for a while any help or advice would be so much appreciated
