Dynamic cable in C4D for a guitar
Hi Dave, not sure if this is the right place to ask but I have an animated electric guitar in my c4d scene and I’d like to attach a dynamic cord / cable to it.
Is there an easy way to do something like that?
I’ve tried using a rope tag but I can’t get it to attach or interact with the floor properly.
Any advice?
Nice work with the new site btw, looks geat!

Hi James, great to hear you’re digging the new look site!
You should be able to attach a dynamic cable pretty easy with the new cloth dynamics tools (I usually avoid the rope tag because it can be a pain to stop it twisty weirdly).
If you make your cable a CYLINDER and wrap it along a spline with a SPLINE WRAP, you can use a cloth tag with SOFT BODY enabled so it keeps its shape (you might need to lower the bending too).
Then because the cable has a CLOTH TAG you can use a dynamic CONNECTOR to connect it to your guitar – the guitar will need a cloth tag too so they can connect – if you don’t want the guitar to deform like cloth set the MIX ANIMATION to 100% so it keeps its shape.
That’s the basics anyway, I think this one will make a good tutorial so I’ll try and put up a video soon.
If you need a hand going through these steps just reply here or hit me up on the live chat.
