Hi,

I'm LW7.5 new user, but know this amazing 3D software since Amiga computers and used LW5.6 for PC for long time. Since I have to learn a lot of new LW features, I would like to know what tool or tip or any tutorial I can find to produce an animation like a pair of shoes and a cord (lace) entering beetween the shoe's holes (crossing each other) and at the end, tie like a lace format. Sorry for my english and hope you understand what I'm trying to do. :(

Thank you very much,

Dear Lamont,

Thank you for the hint. It is exactly what I need to make my animation. BTW, great site and cool free plugins.

Take care,

Mark Dunkins Slug Tutorial might also work as well. I cant remmember the link but basically he has a bone chain follow a motin path so you'd bone a length of shoe lace, than make a motion path through the shoe holes and eventually tieing into
a bow.

I'll edit in the link if I find it.

Something else that may help you out in this task would be
Knot Plot (http://www.pims.math.ca/knotplot/download.html).

It can export obj files!

Dear Will,

You make my day! This tutorial is exactly what I was looking for. BTW I did those balloons that will leave after untie the lace and the box open. LW can render amazing linear lights, don't you think? ;)
