Physical Cables Addon: Next-Gen Simulation Tool
Creating cables, wires, and ropes with accurate physics has always been time-consuming and complicated. With Physical Cables Next Gen, we eliminate that hassle by automating most of the process using simulation nodes, letting you focus on the creative aspects of your project. Perfect for creating dynamic, physics-based scenes, this tool will speed up your workflow while adding high-quality details to your models.
Achieve professional-grade results with minimal effort and no headaches, all thanks to the powerful simulation nodes that bring your cables to life with realistic physics and movement.
Features
Instant Cable Simulation
Forget manual modeling. Simply simulate your cables and ropes in just a few clicks.
Fully Procedural Cable Geometry Generation with 20+ Variations:
The add-on generates cables procedurally, allowing you to customize every aspect—from internal wire arrangements to external features. With over 20 types of procedural geometry, from cables, wires, and ropes to ivy and organic structures, you can easily adapt your curves to fit any scene with incredible flexibility.
Cable Distribution Mode
With Physical Cables Next Gen, you can effortlessly create cables by simply specifying start and end points or by drawing them manually.
Need to connect two objects? With just a few clicks, cables are distributed between them automatically, maintaining realistic slack and tension. Perfect for rigging mechanical assemblies, architectural layouts, and industrial assets with ease.
Automate the placement of cables across multiple objects in a collection, making large-scale projects more manageable. Whether it’s wiring for entire buildings, vehicles, or factory setups, this feature saves time while delivering flawless results.
Dynamic Cable Break Simulation
Bring unparalleled realism to your scenes with cables that break dynamically based on tension and collision forces.
Enhance your simulation with turbulence effects to bring dynamic, unpredictable motion to your cables and wires, perfect for creating realistic wind or environmental influences. Additionally, take advantage of self-collision simulation, ensuring that cables interact naturally with each other—preventing unnatural overlaps or intersections—resulting in a much more realistic and refined scene.
Pin & Anchor Points for Precise Attachment Control:
Gain fine control over your cables by placing up to four Pin Points(Start and End are also pinned. So you will have 6 control points). Adjust the placement and movement of these anchor points to manipulate how cables behave in relation to objects, creating incredibly versatile, detailed setups with complete precision.
Attach Dynamic Hanging Objects to Cables:
Simulate hanging objects like lights, signs, or any suspended asset with ease. The hanging objects react to the cable’s movement and physical forces, enhancing the dynamic feel of your scenes.
The ability to simulate realistic cable behavior, automate distribution, and create detailed procedural cables makes this add-on an essential part of any artist's toolkit. With Physical Cables Next Gen, you’re not just adding cables—you’re adding dynamic, visually striking elements that breathe life into your projects.
Limitations
You can only export static baked models into another software. Simulation output isnt supported yet.
