Vellum: Animate Constraint Stiffness Over Time After Initial July 5, 2025, 7:34 a.m.

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to solve a specific setup and could use some help.
My goal is to gradually reduce the stretch stiffness of certain constraints over time — ideally between frames 15 and 25.

During the first 15 frames, I'm driving the geometry with an animation. After that, I want Vellum to progressively take over the simulation.

I've attached a few screenshots to show how I’m setting this up using a SOP Solver inside the DOP network.

If anyone has ideas or has dealt with a similar case — especially blending from an animated input to simulated Vellum constraints — I’d really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks in advance!
