Over-ridding wire tool with capture weights

I created a jellyfish character, then seperated the jellyfish body from its tenticles. I applied the wiretool to the tenticales but then i couldnt figure out how to attach constrain the tenticles to the jellyfish so that all the base points remained attached to the jellyfish.

I was wondering if i missed something, or if i had to do it the long winded way of creating a constrain on each of the tenticle base points, then constrain that to the jellyfish points

Thanks in advance

Hi Ahmad,

Just a thought, why don't you create the wires from the body of the jelly fish? Then use wire capture to deform the tentacles with the wires.

Hi Ihab,

I managed to find a way to do it (simple creat one SBD contraint, and enter a point list (all the points you want to stay constrained to the jellyfish), then simply click the “attach to animation” toggle button.

I didnt notice the Wire sops, as i was working purely in dops. But i tried your technique to no avail, was wondering if you could give me a hint as to how it works?

Cheers
