I basically need to animate a necklace that has 6 links connected by an "invisible string". I need the animation to work as the necklace is turned. <br /> <br /> As if the person wearing it were doing a cartwheel.<br /> <br /> I'm attaching an rough sketch of what i'm talking about. <br /> <br /> I just need an algorithm to animate this. I'm not very good with physics and could really use some help. I don't have access to any physics libraries or simulators so I'll actually need to code the whole algorithm. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br><br><strong>Attachment:</strong> <a href="http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/DownloadAttachment.aspx?AttachmentID=633">diagram.jpg</a> (12735 bytes | downloaded 160 times) http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/graphics/390440/390440/help-with-pendulum-animation/ Tue, 05 May 2009 08:42:09 -0700 Computer Graphics
