    This tut has been VERY useful for me. I am animating something that dangles on a flexible cord. Can you tell me how you get the cord to maintain it's length and not let itself be stretched? (imagine dangling that mouse from the end of the cord)

    Unfortunately I can't tell you how to fix the length. I am animating a chain made, and it looks like rubber... GRRR!
    Apparently the intention was to do a nice thing for the Hair module, but it forgot to do the basic thing, sorry.
    Maxon are you there? Do you read me?

    To keep the distance, just add a character constraint tag connecting the two cubes.

    great tutorial
